“If we could make everyone in the Philippines aware of Pampers new diaper through the Facebook platform, could we invest the money we saved in advertising dollars into lowering the price of Pampers to make it more affordable for moms?” Innovation Fund Example
“If we could connect all of the breeders, veterinarians, shelters, animal lovers together in a community hosted by Iams could we improve people’s lives?” “In this community, you could learn what dog food is best for your dog, you could schedule an appointment at the vet, or adopt a stray dog.” Innovation Fund Example
