SUMMARY
To grow brands often need to reach out to new audience segments with whom your brand has zero credibility. But new audiences know how to sniff out a brand that’s trying to exploit them vs. truly cater to them. This is the story of how Pantene, a massive CPG brand identified the female African American segment as a growth opportunity, took the time to truly understand them, and earned trust by creating emotional value, driving earned media coverage, positive sentiment and, ultimately, incremental growth – despite limited distribution.
