AAPD Honors Duracell and P&G for “Trust Your Power”
The American Association of People with Disabilities (AAPD) awarded P&G its 2014 Corporate Leadership Award for the transformative Duracell "Trust Your Power" ad starring Derrick Coleman of the Seattle Seahawks, the first hearing impaired offensive NFL player.
Volker Kuhn, Duracell North America Vice President, accepted the honor on behalf of P&G, along with our People with Disabilities group and Duracell employees.
In his acceptance remarks, Volker noted the brand’s desire to tell Derrick’s story “to show how power—when used for good—can inspire and move the world forward.”
AAPD President Mark Perriello blogged that “the commercial illustrates Coleman breaking through the low expectations society continues to have for people with disabilities, and leaves a powerful message that people with disabilities are capable of setting and achieving their own goals. AAPD is proud to honor P&G for promoting this message and recognizing people with disabilities as a powerful consumer market.”
The “Trust Your Power” ad has received over 22 million YouTube views to date, and generated over 3 billion media impressions.
Based in Washington, D.C. and founded in 1995, AAPD is the nation’s largest cross-disability membership organization, and is the key voice in influencing the legislative and regulatory process to advance the rights of the disabled.
