Podcast appearances and mentions of Annette King

Three prizes for three good calls this week by the Government. 1) Financial literacy coming to a school near you in 2027, and not a day too soon. In many respects it's the more valuable end of the education spectrum. It's education you can actually use. 2) Nicola Willis and her cutting of the operating allowance from $2.4b to $1.3b. The $2.4b number already had headlines for being skinny, or unrealistic. $1.3b is rabbit out of a hat material. I assume she is telling the truth when she says she has found billions in savings, because you can't run a country on thin air. 3) David Seymour, with more reality check reminders that we have too much Government. In his speech he alerted us to just how much - 82 portfolios, 41 departments and 28 ministers. If ever you wanted an example of bloat, there it is. The portfolio joke is about appeasing people. There isn't an issue or pressure group you can't appease by inventing a label. The real issue is ministers. The good news currently, as Audrey Young in the Herald pointed out this week in her famous marking of ministers annual outing, is most of them are getting good scores and most of them are decent operators. But it is not always the case and too often, with the last Government being your classic example, portfolios are used and/or invented to reward loyalty and/or give people pay rises. Whether you can do the job is secondary. Good governments are run by a handful of talent. In David Lange's day it was the Prime Minister, Roger Douglas, Richard Prebble and David Caygill. With Helen Clark it was the Prime Minister, Michael Cullen, Phil Goff and Annette King. With John Key it was Key, Bill English and Steven Joyce. This time its Christopher Luxon, Chris Bishop, Nicola Willis and Simeon Brown - multiple portfolios at the heavyweight end of the index. Unlike the real world, you will note Cabinet and Government never downsize. The public service can be downsized, but the Government never is. Sadly for Seymour, unlike the other two ideas this week, his isn't real. Financial literacy will materially improve our kids' future. Willis and her austerity will materially improve our economy. If Seymour somehow trims a single minister or ministry, it won't be an idea - it will be a miracle. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The debut episode of “Investment Ideas” dives straight into one of the most significant forces reshaping global markets: deglobalisation.Co-hosts Jan Swinhoe and Douglas Isles speak with Belinda Cheung, Director in the Economics and Capital Markets team at Future Fund, and Annette King, non-executive director, former CEO, and former President of the Actuaries Institute, to explore how geopolitical shifts are transforming investment opportunities and risks in 2025 and beyond.

On this week's Friday Faceoff, broadcaster Mark Sainsbury and political commentator and lecturer Bryce Edwards spoke at the murmurings that Annette King was approached as a possible option as Commissioner for the under-fire Wellington City Council. They also discussed the latest budget cuts made by the Wellington City Council to fund water infrastructure upgrades, David Seymour's pledge to fine parents to fix truancy, the future of the Interislander ferries, whether rugby is dying after news the Wellington Rugby Union is selling its stake in the Hurricanes and why Wellington trains are constantly being replaced by buses.

When Dame Annette King quit politics in 2017, she was New Zealand's longest-serving female MP, having spent 33 years in parliament. Highly regarded across politics, King served through 17 Labour and National leaders. She became a Dame under National and she has continued in her role as New Zealand's High Commissioner in Canberra since 2018. She joined Kim Hill in 2019, to discuss her extensive career in public life.

It's Labour's to lose - in the traditionally red stronghold of Rongotai this election. The electorate has been held by the Labour Party since its creation in 1996 -- first by Annette King, who held the seat till 2017 -- which saw Paul Eagle take over the seat. But with Eagle bowing out of politics this year, the seat's set to get a new representative. Labour's putting up Fleur Fitzsimons this election -- up against the Greens' well-known MP Julie Anne Genter, and National newcomer Karuna Muthu. Newstalk ZB's Nick James asked voters, and non-voters in Rongotai what their biggest issues are. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

New Zealand and the United States are the only two countries in the world that allow pharmaceutical companies to advertise their products directly to consumers. Government reviews of the Therapeutic Products Bill have previously taken place in 1998, 2000, 2006, and 2019. All of these reviews have kept the status quo. In 2006, Dr Annette King, the Health Minister, called for a ban, but struggled to muster the support at the time. This interview with Health Minister Andrew Little is part of a larger story on Direct To Consumer Pharmaceutical Advertising

Most of us cannot move for diversity, equity and inclusion strategies in our workplaces, but one thing is often missing: class. When you come from an economically disadvantaged background colleagues often can't tell, yet the workplace can feel like a hostile environment. How can managers and companies help their colleagues and employees to thrive and advance, especially when many people may not want to be open about their backgrounds at work?This episode of Working It starts with Sophie, a young entrant to the TV industry, a sector once rife with nepotism and unpaid internships. She got her break via Creative Access, a UK non-profit that supports young people into internships and jobs in the creative industries. Host Isabel Berwick also hears from Annette King, who started out as a "working-class girl from Swindon" and is now UK chief executive of advertising group Publicis. What does her experience tell us?Finally, Isabel talks to Naomi Rovnick, FT markets reporter, about her route into journalism from a non-traditional background, why "masking" socio-economic background is so common as a way to fit in with what Naomi calls "skiing and wine" chat, and why collecting better data will help us break the class ceiling.

This week on The Places We'll Go Marketing Show, we were joined by Annette King, CEO of Publicis Groupe. Annette's self-empowerment and resilience shines through as she speaks about how she bagged her first role in the advertising world and how she preserved at a time when the war of jobs was ever-present. Annette is a true inspirational leader for all, her caring yet hard working nature simply explains how she has built such a successful career for herself. Whether you are already a business leader, or you aspiring to be one, Annette is someone we can all learn from.

Annette King is CEO of Publicis Groupe UK. Founded in 1926, Publicis Groupe employs 80,000 people in 100 countries, and boasts an annual revenue of nearly €10bn. Annette previously spent 17 years at Ogilvy, latterly as CEO of its 10 UK operating companies. In this in-depth interview, Annette reflects on how digital has “revolutionised the advertising industry” with the insight that data brings; and proudly shares Publicis Groupe UK's commitment to promoting the positive mental health of their staff - as it “makes business sense… as well as being the right thing to do.”

Annette King has always been drawn to helping animals. The beginning signs of what would eventually become her life's passion started when she was a young child, caring for stray animals.  In 1996, she purchased a small farm in Rogers County and it wasn't long before animals and friends with injured wildlife were finding their way to her home and Wild Heart Ranch was born. What started out small has grown into an organization that has helped over 75,000 animals over the past twenty-five years!

If you're a centre right voter hoping against hope that National's going to get its act together, this week suggests you might need to start thinking about plan B. It always going to be tough-going for National to have a serious shot at the next election, but after two resignations in a week I'd say their odds just got that much longer.Simply because they are wasting valuable rebuild time on continuing to trash their own brand.Brands take a long time to build, and the clock starts again when you have something as repulsive as an alleged sex scandal and questions over whether the leader has engineered the resignation of  veteran MP Nick Smith, who himself is facing bullying allegations.So the clock has just started again for National, which means they've lost seven months of rebuilding time. That leaves them just short of two and a half years to the next election. That's not a long time when you have a brand that is now as toxic as National's brand is.And make no mistake, National is the most toxic brand in parliament right now.There are those die-hards who will probably hope someone in National will be able to pull a Jacinda Ardern, sweep in months or weeks before the election and change the party's fortunes.But Jacinda Ardern didn't take over the leadership of a party suffering this kind of brand damage.As hopeless as Labour was, at least Andrew Little had spent two and half years tidying the place up.During his time – as far as I can remember – there were no sex scandals, and while knifing was definitely going on (Annette King was knifed out of the deputy leadership) it was hidden from public view.National has a shed load of work to do before 2023 without this nonsense going on. They have to find and back a credible leader, they have to promote a credible team around that person, they have to prepare considered and popular policies, they have to explain to Kiwis what their vision for a better New Zealand is, they have to attract and choose better candidates, they have attract donations, they have prosecute this government and draw headlines to its shortcomings. That is only a fraction of what's needed. So, if National is hoping for a chance at the next election, then they can't afford any more weeks like this. Because not even a Hail Mary pass like Jacinda Arden gave Labour seems likely to save them in 2023.   

This has been an exceptionally difficult year for advertisers. With shops closed and holidays cancelled, many advertisers saw their revenues drop. Amol Rajan speaks to Annette King, UK boss of Publicis Groupe, the ad giant that includes Saatchi & Saatchi. Even before the pandemic her industry faced enormous structural threats, including the dominance of Facebook and Google in the ad market. This programme includes clips from the British Airways 'Face' advert (1989) directed by Hugh Hudson, and McDonald's 'McDelivery' advert (2020) directed by Los Perez.

In the second episode of BroadTalk, Virginia Haussegger chats with a trailblazing Kiwi political warrior, Dame Annette King, about her extraordinary life in politics and managing the leadership spotlight. Dame Annette is New Zealand's longest-serving female MP and now NZ High Commissioner to Australia.A long-time mentor to New Zealand's PM Jacinda Ardern, Annette is renowned for being “incredibly committed”, “totally focused” and yet a whole lot of fun. Her ‘cold stare' (or what Julia Gillard calls the female “resting bitch face”) is legendary, yet those Kiwis Annette served adore her.Over three decades in parliament as Minister of various portfolios including Police, Justice, Health, Transport and Deputy Leader of the NZ Labor Party, Annette saw it all. In fact, there is little she didn't endure, from the heavy drinking of colleagues, sexism and scandal, to accusations she was a closet lesbian, as well as media fascination with her transgender husband. But the funny thing is how much Annette laughs when looking back and marvels at how her life has “just tumbled along!”BroadTalk is hosted by Virginia Haussegger and produced by Martyn Pearce.

What a disheartening and disappointing week that was, eh?Particularly so after the crescendo which was the return of Super Rugby last weekend. The world seeing stadiums full of New Zealanders celebrating and revelling in our Covid 19 banishment and the return of normal life.  We were on a roll.  We were on fire.  We were leading the world.But the balloon was quickly burst by the saga of the 2 Karens from the UK and their tiki tour of the North Island, full of virus that should have been tested for before they were released from their quarantine early.  Covid was back after taking a 24 day holiday.Oh, how the world enjoyed that, particularly the Aussies. Our false pride deflated.What followed next were tales of quarantine parties in hotels. There was mass mingling of quarantined residents, some at the end of their quarantine some at the beginning, worst practice scenarios.  Escapees.  Weddings held in quarantined virus hives of hotels without the bride's knowledge.Then the ignominy of gang associated family, let out of their 14-day isolation to go to a funeral of a relative, a 57-year-old who had been gangland-style executed. Who then violated the trust put in them by allowing a teen and an eight-year-old child to go walkabouts and not return to isolation. What part of that wasn't completely predictable?What a storm this all created.  People, who only weeks before criticised the government for being heartless for not allowing compassionate exemptions. People, who praised the judge who flew in the face of Ashley Bloomfield and granted the son of a judge a compassionate exemption. These people suddenly changed their tune, pivoted 180 degrees and screamed at the Director-General of Health, “Why on earth did you allow these compassionate exemptions?” The Director General. Saint Ashley. Who then turned round and said he had no idea but apologised and said he'd tell the frontline off.Random question. Have you ever seen the Minister of Health or the Director General touring the quarantine facilities to check they're up to standard? Or to tell the frontline off? It has happened but obviously not enough.There were the rabid revenge seekers who demanded Ashley's head. Guy Body did a great cartoon of a statue of Saint Ashley being pulled to the ground by an angry mob.Oh, it was ugly.But it got worse. At the same time, a report came out highlighting how misguided and inefficient our entire health system is. A report that highlighted the ideological devolution into a million and one bureaucracies that started 20 years ago under Annette King and a Labour Government that means we have more middle managers that health staff.It made the tales this week of how the head and the hands of our health system seem to have no idea of what each other need and demand from each other make total sense. In Ashley Bloomfield's hapless interview with Mike Hosking, I heard him plaintively cry, “We have a devolved system”.Yes, we do. We have reaped what we sowed. You can buy as many flu vaccinations as you want but the local DHB will still lose them.Next thing we know the GDP figures came out. Not as bad as Canada. Way worse than Australia. All unpleasant.And then some feral shot a police officer dead. Just as phase two of our arms legislation came up. This was gutting. A 28-year-old from Orewa who sounds fantastic, who always wanted to be a cop. This story made me cry for the first time in a long time.It was a bad week for aspirational world-leading New Zealand. A New Zealand that boasted to the world it was fighting gun crime and defeating viruses.But amongst the ashes were embers of hope.My boss told us that our company is doing better than expected. So much so that the voluntary pay reductions we all took will be reversed this week. A story I've heard a bit. The Recovery is better than expected – which means we're still in a horrid position but not as horrid as some say.Then Grant Robertson told Mike Hosking on Friday that the ap...

Never miss your #MediaSnack - subscribe for updates every Friday On this week’s #MediaSnack we stare into the gigantic dark abyss that is ad fraud. So often quoted in surveys as the thing that worries marketers the most, it remains a mystery and takes many guises, in fact there are over 30 types of ad fraud identified, so far. We consider the scale of the problem, which is difficult to be very precise, and ask the big question most often troubling marketers; who should actually be accountable for tackling ad fraud? We’ve seen some companies, most notably P&G, make their unhappiness with ad fraud very clear and very public. Others have taken more conservative and private approaches. This week in fact we've seen a significant milestone in answering the big question. Taxi app Uber filed a claim against their mobile agency Fetch for losses they claim were caused by ad fraud. If that goes to trial it will test in court, in a very public way and based on evidence, the true accountability of ad fraud. In some ways this represents all advertisers versus all agencies. It will be the jury find that get to review the evidence and decide if it is the advertiser or the agency who is responsible for the undeniable impact of fraudulent traffic and results. In the meantime, we can simply offer our perspective and so on #MediaSnack we look at the three main parties; the marketer, the agency/vendor and the publisher and share what specifically we think they should be doing to help combat the threat and impact of ad fraud. * Methodology for agency ad fraud content assessment: The scores were calculated by an ID Comms assessment of agency published information on ad fraud online on their main website address. Each agency researched was scored out of 25 based on ID Comms assessment criteria below. The areas investigated included accessibility of information, volume of resources and quality of resources 5 part assessment criteria as follows, each graded out of 5. Is ad fraud mentioned clearly on agency website home page? Is an agency POV searchable or easy to find on website? What volume of resources are there on ad fraud? What are quality of resources on ad fraud? Ease of next steps to find out more from agency On this week's Good Week Bad Week we celebrate the appointment of Annette King as CEO of Publicis Groupe UK, having made a rare move from WPP to their French rivals. Meanwhile, its a bad week for Verizon's Oath we think who, after shelling out billions to pull together the collection of tarnished media assets such as Yahoo!, Tumblr and Tech Crunch launched a brand campaign aimed at advertisers which many thought was a spoof ad. It is so painfully cringeworthy it may do more harm than good. In fact, it resembles an (earlier) spoof ad so closely that it seems that Oath may have inadvertently created a spoof of a spoof ad but done so with serious intent. Is that a double negative? Perhaps its the coolest thing ever made and we are wrong...
