In
2011, Procter & Gamble launched Orgullosa, an online community to help
Latinas connect with each other and P&G brands. Since Latinas typically spend more on beauty
products than any other consumer segment it was a smart move. According to the company, the site currently
has 1.5 million members, most between the ages of 23 and 27. Impressive.
Based
on research showing that 86% of Latinas between 20 and 39 say that they would
like a mentor in their lives, P&G has announced this year's #LivingFabulosa
focus is on building a network of role models and mentors. They kicked the effort off Tuesday night with
an event hosted by Diane Guerrero, featuring a "Chicas Night Out"
beauty bar with give-aways and consultations about P&G beauty
products. Long term the effort will
feature daily inspirational messages on Instagram, encouraging participants to
join in. (Mahoney, 2016)

So what
do you think of this effort? Does it
make sense? Will it be successful? Why or why not?
