Tide / Ariel: brand profile


Tide is the world's biggest selling detergent brand, as well as Procter & Gamble's #1 brand in its core market, the US. Although Pampers outsells it globally, no other brand in the company's portfolio is as important in a single territory, or has been as significant historically. In fact the so-called "washing miracle", the world's first synthetic detergent, has been the main motor for the company's massive expansion since the brand's launch in 1946, leading its charge into other product sectors in the US, as well as around the globe. Stablemate Ariel is the worldwide #2 laundry detergent, and P&G's main brand outside the US. Click here to access the Adbrands profile (subscribers only); or subscribe to Adbrands.net here.
