Who's at the Door? J&J With Your Meds†

Brandweek, June 18, 2007 — Johnson & Johnson wants to turn Girl Scout troops into "drug dealers"—but it's all for a good cause. The drug giant said it will launch a promotion this month, in which churches, charities and nonprofit groups—such as the Girl Scouts—will be encouraged to sell J&J's painkillers and cough medicine to their friends and neighbors. For every purchase of a J&J brand, including Tylenol, Sudafed, BenGay and Motrin, J&J will donate 8% of the sale to the community group.
