P&G, Google team up to swap jobs, trade knowledge
CINCINNATI (AP) - The world's largest consumer products company and the online search leader are working together to learn more about each other and about targeting customers.
Procter & Gamble Co. says it has done job swaps with Google Inc., and Google employees have been at P&G's Cincinnati headquarters helping with training.
P&G spokeswoman Allison Yang said Wednesday that the company wants to reach more consumers who are increasingly online. She said that digital is "definitely a focus" for the company.
She said P&G will continue looking at opportunities to work with Google, based in Mountain View, Calif. A message for comment was left with Google.
The Wall Street Journal reported in Wednesday's editions that discussions on an employee swap began last year between P&G and Google executives. The swaps began in January.
