Details
The Great Idea Generator ingests P&G's own historical concept data, consumer insights and comments, and external trends analysis to generate advertising concepts. CFO Andre Schulten stated at the February 2025 CAGNY conference that the tool is 'transforming the idea creation process by enabling concept development in minutes versus weeks' and is increasing the number of concepts created 'tenfold.' MIT Sloan Management Review confirmed the tool 'creates product and advertising concepts based on consumer trends and previous testing results' and 'can greatly accelerate the progress of a new idea, from concept to advertisement to shelf.'
