Casper oversees business operations for such well-known brands as Dial® soaps, Purex® laundry detergents, Renuzit® air fresheners, and Right Guard® antiperspirants.  For the first time in 2009, five of Henkel’s largest consumer brands simultaneously implemented extensive consumer marketing campaigns.  Even more impressive, Henkel’s spend is still smaller than many of its key competitors.  Through careful creativity and big ideas that are tightly integrated, Henkel has made each dollar spent look like ten times more.  Casper will discuss the company’s recent growth and increased overall profitability.
