An old rule of tabloid journalism states “if it bleeds, it leads.”

At Happi, we have a slightly different take on that adage: “If it has anything to do with Procter & Gamble it will find an eager audience.”

In 2016 we weren’t proved wrong. Taking a look at the data generated by Google Analytics, we find that many of the most read news items and articles that have appeared on Happi.com, involve P&G. That only makes sense; Procter is the biggest player in the global household and personal products industry so any news that comes out of Cincinnati is sure to interest competitors, vendors and the general public.

Here’s the top item for each of our main editorial categories, according to our data.
