Mercury
Senior Product Marketing Manager - Spend Management & Cards
Mercury, Portland, OR
In the 1930's Procter & Gamble wanted to sell more soap, so they started running radio ads. It was a unique move at the time, but ended up paying off. Why? During the day, radios were airing serial dramas, regularly listened to by a large audience of homemakers. These ads did so well that soon other soap companies started sponsoring these radio shows, and the term "soap opera" was born.
