The Missing Chapter campaign for P&G’s Whisper in India, which promoted period education, was also ranked in the top 10, taking the number 8 position, while Native Sportscasters, which selected and broadcast indigenous language commentators during the World Cup campaign in Mexico, ranked number 22.
