Empower Partners with Live With Kelly and Ryan to Relaunch White Cloud Bath Tissue
White Cloud: The Brand That Wouldn’t Die. Published in Advertising Age November 15, 2017.

Procter & Gamble tried to kill it.

That’s due to Kruger Products, the Canadian manufacturer that now owns the brand for tissue categories, relaunching White Cloud this year with new packaging, and a marketing campaign built around a recent on-air promotional tie-in on “Live With Kelly and Ryan,” arranged by Empower MediaMarketing in Cincinnati.
