Today we’re spotlighting the #LikeAGirl campaign from Procter & Gamble’s @Always brand that seeks to empower girls to Keep Going at a time in their lives when many suffer a loss of confidence when they hit puberty.

'For this campaign, Twitter has been a key platform in enabling us to help spread this important message to encourage girls to Keep Going #LikeAGirl on a topical day when A-Level results are released.'
