Vidal Sassoon marketing dispute with Procter & Gamble
Vidal Sassoon sued Procter & Gamble, alleging that the company had neglected the marketing of the Vidal Sassoon brand in favor of other hair-care brands such as Pantene. The parties settled the dispute in 2004. The case reflected tensions that can arise when a founder’s personal reputation becomes separated from corporate brand management.
