DIGITAL REINVENTION OF POTTY TRAINING BY PULL-UPS®
Since its launch in 1989, Huggies’ Pull-Ups® brand of disposable training pants has been synonymous with potty training.

In this session, the global brand director for Childcare at Kimberly-Clark will share how PULL-UPS® is revolutionizing potty training through “potty training curriculum” built in partnership with child psychologists and Montessori experts that leverages cutting edge digital tools to engage and delight Millennials.
