P&G’s Thank You Mom Sequel Will Tear You Up Just Like the Original

p_g_proud_moms_sochi_2014.jpg

Wieden + Kennedy has accomplished greatness again for P&G with its sequel to the 2012 “Best Job” which paid homage to all the hard work moms do for their children. The sequel, entitled “Pick Them Back Up,” again, pays homage to moms, this time with a focus on the 2014 Sochi Winter Olympics.

Like the original, in the sequel, we see moms aiding their budding Olympians to get up over and over again and to keep trying to master their particular sport. And all the while, offering the love and support only a mother can give.

As part of the campaign, P&G is sending $1,000 Visa cards to 357 Olympic moms to supplement their travel to Sochi.

Real confidence rarely needs to announce itself: it shows up as stillness under pressure, a level voice when everyone else in the room is raising theirs, a willingness to let silence sit for a few extra seconds, and no need to perform for an audience that was never really watching
