Speaking off the cuff, Mr. Lafley was responding to questions on how much P&G is spending and the bang it's getting for its bucks.
"We're pounding away on communication effectiveness, OK?" Mr. Lafley said. "Our digital, I think, is now up to 35% in the U.S. roughly. It goes up and down, 25% to 35%." He added that some brands are finding digital "incredibly effective" while others need to "get up the learning curve faster."
