On the latest episode of The Big Impression podcast, Samsung's Allison Stransky discusses the company's new AI-focused campaign, “Your Home Speaks You.” She explains the importance of conveying how Samsung's AI-powered home-automation features benefit the consumer.  Episode TranscriptPlease note, this transcript  may contain minor inconsistencies compared to the episode audio. Damian Fowler (00:00):I'm Damian Fowler.Ilyse Liffreing (00:01):And I'm Ilyse Liffreing.Damian Fowler (00:02):And welcome to this edition of The Big Impression.Ilyse Liffreing (00:09):Today we're joined by Allison Stransky, Chief Marketing Officer at Samsung Electronics America. She's led brand strategy at global companies like Google and L'Oreal, and now drive Samsung's vision for the connected home.Damian Fowler (00:24):Allison's here to talk about Samsung's new campaign Your Home Speaks You launched in June. The campaign highlights the joy of a home that feels more personal, showing how Samsung's connected products and Galaxy AI come together in everyday moments. Think a washer dryer that finishes a load in 68 minutes or a fridge that tells you to order some more cheese.Ilyse Liffreing (00:47):I love that idea. It's an omnichannel campaign built on real consumer insights about what homeowners actually need and how connected tech can save time, reduce stress, and make life a little easier.Damian Fowler (01:01):So let's get into it.Ilyse Liffreing (01:08):So Alison, the campaign Your Home speaks to you. It really redefines the home, not just as a space but as a feeling. And for the first time, it actually connects all of Samsung's various products into one overall story where anybody can pair these devices throughout the home together. Can you discuss the campaign and then how you translated that vision into the creative?Allison Stransky (01:31):Absolutely. So the initial insight behind your home speaks you is that we are all unique individuals and so are our homes, but also our homes are unique reflection of ourselves. And this actually went back to a campaign that we launched in 2024, but in 25 we took a really exciting evolution, which as you said was the first time we made a wide reaching video, digital video campaign featuring multiple Samsung products working together because we wanted to really convey to consumers who know consumers who don't know how much more you can get out of the Samsung ecosystem when you connect it all through smart things and what is also net new, how Galaxy AI takes those benefits really to the next level. So we are firm believers in how incredible our products are and how amazing they can all be when they work together, but we needed to translate that into something really tangible and relatable.(02:38):So that's where it came to life. In this campaign we featured four different hero products, the two TVs, combo washer dryer and the Bespoke fridge in sequence with a number of mobile products because that is where a lot of the real benefits of the interoperability can start to happen and then looked for real emotional insights to drive the storyline. So to turn that idea into a campaign, it all starts with the data. So we wanted to start by understanding the features and the benefits that our consumers like the most about our products and how our products work together. And then we took that data and turned them into insights. So to give you an example of how that worked, I'll start with the bespoke combo washer dryer. This is a new product that we launched in 2025. It does a wash in a dry all in one cycle in 68 minutes.(03:38):So this is the fastest combo washer dryer on the market, which is great. Fast speed is a great benefit, but when you connect to smart things and you start working with all of your devices together, you can really take your efficiency to the next level through things like notifications. But the human insight that comes into play is imagine that you are coming home and have to get ready for a date and you find that your dog is sitting on the clothes that you laid out for your date and your now brief tells you you have to be out the door in 75 minutes. Well, Samsung saves the day or the date night with the combo washer dryer and the sequence of notifications so you can get ready to go. And that's how really we thought about the whole campaign of bringing it together is it started with a product, it's made better by smart things in ai, but it's really a data-driven human insight that takes the whole thing and brings it to life.Ilyse Liffreing (04:34):Oh yeah, that's really cool. I know it took me two and a half hours to do laundry the other night.Damian Fowler (04:39):That's way too long.Ilyse Liffreing (04:41):And your own research has found that 76% of households already own at least one SAM product and then 27% have three or more. So how did those data insights actually help you shape the campaign?Allison Stransky (04:56):Well, that is data that we're really proud of. We are so proud to be in 76% of households, but then when you look at the drop off, between 76% have at least one Samsung product and 27% have three or more. We really believe in the benefits that are unlocked when all of our products are working together. So in theory, only 27% of households are realizing this state that we know can be possible. So it is one of the things that has driven this is like it is important for you to unlock all of the features and all of the capabilities of whether it's your appliance, your TV or your phone. They really are better together. So that was one of the drivers behind this campaign. Another one of the drivers is we launched Galaxy AI in 2024 and now we've been over this hurdle of there is strong awareness of Galaxy AI and AI in general of what it is and what it can do, but we need to help consumers along on this journey of seeing all the benefits that AI can unlock.(06:01):So we talk about Galaxy AI as being your true AI companion. And what we mean by that is we've moved beyond automation and it's now personalized predictive, anticipating your needs and offering you meaningful personal insights. And that's something else that we want to start telling the story of because that's the thing that's going to get you to say, oh my gosh, my phone can do so much more and now enter smart things. My phone and my fridge or my phone and my TV can help me start building this really amazing connected lifestyle that's going to help me insert the benefit that isn't relevant to you. Is it save time? Is it have a better movie watching experience? There's so many things that this can enable that. That was, it was those things that added up to really inspiring us to create this campaign.Damian Fowler (06:53):I'm really interested to hear a little bit more about the style and the tone of the aesthetic of this campaign, how it aligns this futuristic vision with very human insight.Allison Stransky (07:03):We always think not just about the tech itself but the design. So it really goes back to the product and how we represent our products because it is not just about having this functional high tech TV, refrigerator, et cetera, but we want them to be designed forward and fit them beautifully into your house. So that's our baseline philosophy as it came to this campaign. We want to represent how beautiful and designed for the products are, but also Samsung, the brand as a whole. So we are joyful, colorful, open, inclusive as a brand. And so to get that feeling and to bring that to life, we worked with an amazing team. Crispin was our creative partner and Mathy was our director duo partner who really brought that vision to life. So Crispin was not new for us. We have been working with them since 2024, and so they really get and feel our brand.(08:05):But Mathy is a creative team that we and the Crispin team have really admired and wanted to have an opportunity to work with because we felt like they really get it, they get Samsung, they get what they're trying to do and then they bring their own incredible spin to it. So two of the things that I loved about them, and I will say they all this team really surpassed expectations. One was their approach to color. Like I said, we are a design forward colorful brand and they really captured a very modern look and feel. But then secondly, they have an incredible attention to detail that I hope our viewers pick up on when they watch the spots and see all these tiny little things that came together. One of my favorite examples of that was in our neo QLED eight K TV spot. The storyline was that this couple is obsessed with westerns and they want to have the most immersive TV western viewing experience, but their whole house is designed like Western fans and there's all this little attention to detail in tiny hats and cowboy boots that they strategically placed everywhere in the spot.(09:20):And when we saw it come to life, we just, like I said, it surpassed our expectations and we know we picked the right team.Damian Fowler (09:31):Allison, I'd really love to ask you a little bit more about the actual media buying strategy behind the campaign. Can you elaborate?Allison Stransky (09:37):Absolutely. So it's really special to work at this brand. A lot of CMOs have a lot of love for their brand. I've had love for Samsung before I worked here, so I feel fortunate to have this seat and everything that we create is so it's thought out from the product perspective, from the communication perspective, from the media buying perspective because we want to make sure, one, you understand what we are trying to do. Two, we reach the right people. Something else that is unique about working in a brand that has touched this many households is one of the reasons we've done that is we have so many products and part of that is getting the right message to the right person at the right time. Because if you're going back to school and you're in college shopping mode, I have really relevant phones and laptops and tablets that are going to monitors that will enhance your back to school experience.(10:40):I don't want to serve you a refrigerator ad at that time. And so that's where end to end, every detail needs to be thought out because even the targeting needs to get the right spot to the right people. As I talked a little bit about, this is year two of the campaign in the first year we created stories and vignettes around Are you a workout from Home Maven? Are you a home chef? And when I saw the corporate, the boss lady served to me, I was like, this is all working. The media is working out is the one that I've also been served.Ilyse Liffreing (11:16):Yeah, it seems to me like it's a truly omnichannel kind of strategy as well, and that kind of fits in with the overall smart things theme in a sense.Allison Stransky (11:25):It does. I appreciate that connection because smart things is one of the things that's really special about the Smart Things app is that it is an open ecosystem. It works with everything that is built on the matter platform. So it's not just for Samsung products. And not only is that in line with our value system of openness and inclusion, but that helps our consumers and smart things app users reach another level of benefits and impact. And what I mean by that is health is a big area, for example, that we focus on and sleep within health is critical, but part of your sleeping environment is are your shades open or closed? How well lit or not well lit is your bedroom. And we want smart things to be part of making that perfect sleeping environment. But we don't make lights, we don't make curtains, but we are very happy that you can connect smart lights and smart curtains to your smart things app and with Samsung products create this holistic environment where you can sleep better or wake up better. And it's all a part of our vision of Look, we want to add value to your life. We want to be a very useful, helpful brand.Ilyse Liffreing (12:39):And on that note, let's dive into some of the insights a little bit because you mentioned you wanted to make a smart things ecosystem feel more intuitive and easy to access. So what were some of those signals or behavior changes that you're watching for to see if this message lands?Allison Stransky (12:54):It starts with the KPIs. So we are looking to understand is registration smart things registration increasing? Because the very first step is hook up a product, begin to use the app, start to see what you can get out of that. But from there we want to see that multi-device accounts are also growing because if you have multiple devices connected now I'm starting to get an indication that you are seeing more benefits than, look, you can use your phone as a remote control to turn your TV on and off. That's great. I actually do that a lot in my house. But the sleep benefits, the health benefits, the full ecosystem really gets better when there are multiple products. So the first indication is sign up and start using it. The second is how many products are on there because now I know that you're starting to get a little bit more engaged and we're looking at signals outside of smart things usage as well.(13:52):So for example, only a few weeks into this campaign running, we saw a 55% increase in smart things searches versus year ago. And that was really exciting to us because that means there's a lot of curiosity around the app and what the app can do. And concurrently we had created a set of assets that we're calling smart things 1 0 1 and they are a series of literally 101 videos that were designed to be very SEO forward and answer questions that we either know people are asking or we believe people are asking about the app. So we've created this process whereby you see the campaign, if you're not familiar with smart things, you might go, oh, what is this? Let me learn some more. And now when you go out there, there's a ton more video to take you on your own personal journey that starts with what is smart things all the way down to, okay, I get it, I'm hooked up. How can I create this? My refrigerator helps me, meal plan experience. It's a number of signals and behavior changes that we're looking at along the way.Damian Fowler (14:58):It makes sense that there's an educational component to this campaign that runs alongside it because I'm curious, when people hear your home speaks to you, they may say, well, what does that mean? What does it mean to me? I mean maybe this tech is even intimidating to some people.Allison Stransky (15:12):Yeah, I think it is fair that this is not second nature to us yet. We are fascinated by each generation of new people who are born are going to be much more tech native than the generation before them. But right now our consumers are really, you're kind of in the millennial and exes are buying a lot of the houses that the appliances are speaking to. Zs are buying phones and certainly TVs but not as many of them are homeowners. So we do think it's really important that we make that journey as seamless and easy as possible because once a lot of the benefits are literally set it and forget it and you can go and continue on your life, but we want to make sure end to end you are supported in your journey. So even outside of this campaign, we are piloting a lot of things whereby our service line people, you can call in and get tech support to set up smart things or we foresee a future state where you can set it up, you can have somebody come in and set it up in your home so that it is all that much easier and ready to go.Damian Fowler (16:25):Now you talk about it. I do think maybe this is a generational thing as well. I suppose if people aren't homeowners serving them, an ad for a fridge may not be that relevant. So you must see an interesting breakdown across generational demographics.Allison Stransky (16:39):We do it is there's a wide range of to be in 76% of households, we have a lot of wide range of consumers too. We also have ranges within our products. We have, not all of our refrigerators have screens, but we sure do love the ones that do. But what we found is through a wide portfolio mix, so many people can see the benefits that they're looking for out of our products. And then it's really our responsibility to make our marketing work harder, to make our media dollars more impactful to and our agency partners as well to get the right content to the right people at the right timeDamian Fowler (17:22):On the right phone.Ilyse Liffreing (17:24):Yeah, that is very interesting because people are using even search and AI chatbots for their questions and how to get those answers. So I think it's a great strategy. But looking at the big picture now, how do you see AI continuing to evolve the role that Samsung plays in people's homes?Allison Stransky (17:42):We really believe that AI is going to continue to be more prevalent, more ubiquitous, more important all of our lives. So AI is not new and we've been innovating in AI for more than 10 years. But what has changed is a lot of the LLMs and the media and a lot of this honestly just talking about it have put these benefits and the power of it on consumer's minds. So now we're in the early stages of, okay, the benefits are here. Let's start with helping you understand what Galaxy AI is and then how AI can make a difference on your refrigerator and your tv. And we are seeing this journey, and to be honest, AI is moving so fast that we could be there in a year, we could be there in three. We don't really know how ready consumers are going to be to jump in with us on all of these things, but the innovation roadmap is there and the communication roadmap is there to say, all right, we know it's going to be here and what we know, it's here to stay.(18:44):Let's just take you on this journey. Let's start with the features and the benefits that you have seen the most value in. So for example, a lot of people are using things like circle to search and photo editing capabilities because that is really valuable, but also on the fun side of adoption. So we've worked those into our campaigns. Another one that as an example from this particular smart things campaign in the Frame Pro spot, we showcase for the first time the frame has always been our art tv. Normally we're showing how you can put Van Gogh on your wall because the insight behind the frame is that your TV shouldn't be a black box when you're not using it. Well now it can display family art, meaning photos that you've taken and edited to take that guy in the background out that you wished wasn't in there. And you can see all of this come to life, but this is still the early stages of what the AI journey is about. It's going to be become even more automated and assistive as we get into this stage of multimodality all of your devices and apps connecting and doing more things for you. But we feel it's our responsibility to help you understand what that looks like, not just how it works, but what's the end benefit to you. And then you'll be excited to come along with us on that journey.Ilyse Liffreing (20:02):Now what about outside of the home? Do you envision a future where the smart things ecosystem even extends maybe in the cars travel or public spaces, maybe even as part of a new innovation roadmap?Allison Stransky (20:15):Yes, we would. It does exist a little bit today and we'd be so excited to see even more so we did just recently launch Smart Things Pro, which is an enterprise solution for smart things. So right now business owners can see a lot of benefits like controlling whole hotels. One of our favorite examples that we shared at CES this year was that smart things pro can control your cruise ship. Not a lot of us are in market to buy cruise ships, but showing the power of what it can do and how it exists is really exciting. And I think we envision a world where smart things pro from a business outside of the home perspective can connect to smart things on your device and on your app. And we foresee a roadmap of when you show up at a hotel, you can have your room set to the temperature you like, which not just makes it for a more comfortable experience for you, but could help a whole hotel be more sustainable by not blasting the air conditioning for everybody who doesn't want it to be 62 degrees or whatever it feels like it's set at through smart things.(21:22):And Hyundai, your EV can be your whole house generator. So there's cool stuff in the works that we are working on getting the news out there to our consumers because there's just so many benefits. We also kind have to start by thinking about the bigger ones, which back to this campaign, the things that people want every day are make my life easier, help me save time, help me make my home more enjoyable with my family.Damian Fowler (21:51):Do you think that there's any way that this campaign can help move the needle in the direction of broader acceptance of say, AI and automation?Allison Stransky (22:00):I think it's going to play a part in that we have so much within Samsung that we are talking about in the AI space that I think Samsung as a whole is a massive contributor to shifting the AI conversation. So fortunately there are some partners out there like Chat, GP, GT and Meta are also continuing the narrative and bringing up total awareness. So we're very excited for the more AI conversation that happens, the more interest and curiosity there is in AI benefits. And then we are here with on-device AI on our smartphones and televisions and appliances, our responsibility when you come now you know what AI is. Now our responsibility is to help you see the benefit that you can get from not just individual Samsung products but how they all work together. And I think we are at this really exciting tipping point for not just tech companies but consumer companies everywhere to help all consumers say, look, we're moving into the AI generation. It's here to stay. We're going to do it together. You find the AI solutions that are right for you. And that's how I think we'll all come along on this journey.Damian Fowler (23:14):I just want to know, can I ask my fridge to tell me when I need to order some new cheese?Allison Stransky (23:18):Cheese? I would prioritize cheese too.Damian Fowler (23:21):Okay. We've got some quickfire questions now that EIS is going to kick off.Ilyse Liffreing (23:25):Okay. Yes. So Alison, what's your favorite scene or moment from the new campaign that you believe best captures the heart of your homes beaks you?Allison Stransky (23:35):So in each of our four spots, there's a moment where our hero just makes this look like I've got this. So my dog is sitting on my day clothes, I've got this, my kids can't agree on dinner. I've got this. And that's the part that I think that captures because whether it comes from the surprise of dog on clothes or I got tackle dinner every single night, I think that's a very real moment that people go through every single day and you get that own personal little rush of like, you got this covered. But on a personal level, it is, I do really love the fridge spot where dad is cooking dinner for two kids because we laugh about this at home because every single night my husband is cooking dinner for our kids. And so that one for me is like a little slice of life, but there's a moment of confidence where you're in control. And that's what I think really encapsulates the spirit of this campaign.Damian Fowler (24:37):What's one feature of the Samsung Smart things ecosystem that you personally can't live without?Allison Stransky (24:43):So I am personally obsessed with all the innovation we have in this health space and sleep in particular because we know most Americans report they don't get enough sleep, but I am definitely part of that set as for mentioned to kids. So what I'm really excited about is the capabilities of your wearables to track how you are sleeping, connects that to your personal temperature in the middle of the night and auto adjust your thermostat accordingly to bring the temperature up or down depending upon what you need. So I will be completely honest, my full house is not fully smart thermostat enabled yet, but this is the one on my wishlist that I'm like, I need this because I am a wearable and health tracker enthusiast.Ilyse Liffreing (25:33):Okay, here's the next one. Which consumer insights helped you the most in developing this campaign?Allison Stransky (25:40):So when it comes to this campaign, we were looking for insights that I guess I'll say weren't so surprising as they were relatable. So I'm not sure that I can say from this campaign, but on the consumer insight that surprises me the most is that I'm not kidding and I'm not being facetious. People report saying they would rather live without their left hand than their mobile phone. I know that our phones are important, but I will say that is surprising because that is to report that that is a level of, I don't know if it's dependency or love, but either way that reminds me that we make a really special product that people really, really value in their lives. And I think that is just wild when they say it like that.Damian Fowler (26:27):Well, we did live without them a long time ago, so. Well, I did. I'm Gen X. Is there a brand campaign inside or outside tech that you think is nailing emotional storytelling right now?Allison Stransky (26:39):So it's not exactly a new spot. They've been doing it for a little while, but I loving Volvo and they released a spot, I believe it was last year, towards the end of the year for the New Ex 90 where it is a beautiful story of a couple has just found out that they are pregnant and they flash forward and they see their whole lives unfold. And then there's a moment where Volvo is critical in their safety features of making sure that this all happens. And I'm going to give you just enough tease because I think people should go look up this spot. This is a piece of art in video advertising. And I still get chills when I think about it. So that's one in particular that's really good. But then they've taken a lot of other moments with dad and daughter learning to drive together. And so many of these other things that I think cars can be emotional because they're related to safety. They also are so integral to your life. They enable you to get places to do things. So I think there's a lot of deep emotion in the auto category, but when you say emotion, that is the first one that comes to mind as I still get chills thinking about how beautiful that spot is.Damian Fowler (28:02):And that's it for this edition of The Big Impression.Ilyse Liffreing (28:04):This show is produced by Molten Hart.

This week we have 2 hours with Dave Jones where we are trying to get to the bottom of why on earth he thought Parkin was the answer. Along the way we hear stories of the financial struggle Cardiff went through and how he had to hijack players on motorways to get them to come to Cardiff. While at Southampton Jones was falsely accused of abuse allegations which ultimately led to his dismissal and a great deal of mental stress, with football being his escape during his period. We also dig down on his recruitment strategy which is like a half way house for players with 'flawed' lives off the pitch that other clubs don't want to touch and just how Jones managed to get the best out of them.

Mark Font and Andrea Yebra of Viefe share how a family business that began with wooden buttons nearly 100 years ago evolved into one of Europe's most respected makers of knobs, handles, and home accessories.This conversation explores Viefe's journey from its roots in Catalonia's woodturning tradition to becoming a global design brand with a growing U.S. presence. Mark and Andrea discuss their manufacturing approach, the art of merchandising, their U.S. showroom strategy, and how they balance tradition, innovation, and design trends while navigating tariffs and global supply chains.Origins of Viefe Founded nearly 100 years ago by Font's great-grandfather, originally a baker who shifted into woodturning Early products: toy accessories, then wooden and later plastic buttons Expansion into knobs and handles in the late 2000s The Shift from Buttons to Handles Market pressure from low-cost production in Asia made buttons less viable In 2009, launched the first Viefe handle collection By 2017, phased out buttons entirely, focusing on knobs, handles, hooks, and accessories Craft, Manufacturing & Design Process Manufacturing in Spain, Turkey, China, Vietnam, India, and Europe Wood turning origins, now largely CNC milling for precision Design philosophy: trend-spotting through travel, trade shows, customer input Internal design briefs and team collaboration for new collections U.S. Expansion Strategy Entered U.S. market ~2019–2020 with warehouse in Canada First KBIS (Kitchen & Bath Industry Show) in 2020, right before the pandemic shutdown Approach: bypass national distributors, instead build direct relationships with showrooms and reps Current rep coverage: California, New York, Florida, Texas, Midwest, New England, and more Navigating the Pandemic Lucky timing: completed a new large facility in Spain right before COVID Warehouse expansion allowed stockpiling and meeting surging demand during home-renovation boom Grew 70% in one year despite shutdowns Merchandising & Showroom Strategy Display boards: a challenge in U.S. vs. Europe Striking a balance between finishes vs. collections on boards Special attention to long handles and accessories (like doorstops, hooks, appliance handles) Showrooms customize boards; Viefe provides guidance and options Cultural & Market Adaptation American market requires bigger sizes, bolder finishes—“go big or go home” Regional taste differences: California vs. New York vs. Midwest Good design seen as universal, but scale and finish matter by market Example: Brooklyn Collection works globally; Chassis line tailored for U.S. industrial aesthetic Global Supply Chain & Tariffs Viefe manufactures worldwide but keeps wood production local in Spain Adapting to tariffs, supply chain volatility, and pricing confusion Chose to delay raising prices rather than constantly shifting costs

Ian Taylor joins us this week, remembered by fans for being at the heart of Aston Villa's midfield and remembered by teammates for being the entertainments manager. Starting out at Port Vale at the age of 23, Taylor had to take a wage cut from his job as a forklift driver to become a professional footballer on the plus side he got given a car which disappeared under suspicious circumstances. Once at Aston Villa he hit the ground rolling in a team with big personalties including Saša Ćurčić, Dwight Yorke, Alan Thompson & of course former England Manager Gareth Southgate. In a surprising revelation we hear that Gareth Southgate may not be as strait laced as everyone thinks and loved surrounding himself with the mavericks of that great Aston Villa side. We also dig into how Villa went from top of the league at Christmas to finishing closer to the relegation zone than the title, while exploring Stan Collymore's short fuse and Dwight Yorke's impact on Birmingham both on and off the field.

In this episode, we dive deep into the complexities of building growth strategies across APAC with Victoria, who leads marketing for Thomson Reuters across an enormous remit spanning from Africa and the Middle East through to Japan and New Zealand. Victoria shares why expanding into APAC is fundamentally different from other regions, dispels common myths about APAC markets, and reveals how sophisticated buyers in these geographies are driving the future of B2B technology adoption. The conversation explores everything from the nuanced approach needed for different markets like Japan's trust-building requirements versus the rapid innovation appetite in Southeast Asia, to how geopolitical shifts create both opportunities and challenges. Victoria also shares her approach to creating bespoke research that serves as both thought leadership and demand generation, demonstrating how to move beyond traditional marketing tactics to become a true business growth driver. Guest Introduction Victoria Sampson (McCafferty) is a seasoned marketing leader with over 15 years of experience driving growth across Asia-Pacific. As CMO APAC at Thomson Reuters, she leads a diverse regional team, combining data, technology, and customer insight to design demand generation programs that deliver measurable impact. Passionate about understanding buyer behavior, she believes the best marketing comes from truly knowing the customer—what they value, how they operate, and when to reach them. Throughout her career, she has been proud to build inclusive teams, champion an ethical, people-first culture, and position marketing as a precision growth engine that bridges business goals with customer needs in meaningful ways. Key Topics Why APAC expansion is different: Cultural practices, timing (e.g., Eid in Middle East), and diverse innovation drivers require long-term commitment (6–24 months depending on market).APAC myths debunked: Markets are often more advanced than US/EU in tech adoption, with larger buying groups and 70% of the journey completed digitally before first contact.The “gateway market” trap: Limiting operations to Singapore and Australia misses growth in China, Japan, Korea, India, and Southeast Asia.Content as advantage: Bespoke research and executive interviews drive both client retention and sophisticated demand generation.The 70-30 localisation rule: 70% of marketing scales regionally; 30% needs localisation around culture, channels, and geography.Channel diversification: WeChat dominates China, Naver in Korea, WhatsApp is rising in B2B, while Japan's B2B sees low social media impact and declining email effectiveness.Marketing as advisory: Shift from traditional roles to driving business growth with analytics, strategy, and client-centric positioning.Future of B2B marketing: AI handles execution; human skills in messaging, buyer understanding, and connection become key — a return to the “art” of marketing.

Charlie Austin is back with us this time in person, after his stint down under, where he faced off against legends like Nani and dealt with the perils of Aussie wildlife, from swooping magpies to snakes in the garden. Starting out while working as a builder playing for Poole town he got a move to Swindon where he quickly formed a great partnership with Billy Paynter and isn't upset at all that Billy is known as the king. Meanwhile off the pitch there were naked streaks at Cheltenham & burglary pranks. Quickly climbing up the leagues Austin went from builder to Premier League in the space of 6 years, while along the way he worked under the likes of Harry Redknapp, Sean Dyche & Eddie Howe. At Southampton Austin had great moments playing in Europe including an infamous standoff with Dusan Tadic but most importantly he provided one of the greatest interviews the Premier League has ever seen.

Let's be real, as humans, we all get the occasional upset tummy (and this is perfectly normal). Our digestive system is a complex arena of microbiota, digestion, absorption, and processing. However, some people have more sensitive guts and this can lead to symptoms that impact quality of life and simply annoy the crap out of you (literally and figuratively here).One such condition that I have increasingly been seeing over the last few years, is IBS (Or Irritable Bowel Syndrome). I have worked with and helped many clients navigate this arena and regain “gut stability” and get rid of “funny tummy”.So what should one look out for? How can you know if you have IBS?In this episode, I will share 4 potential signs IBS may be an annoyance in your life. DISCLAIMER: The information in this video is for guidance only and is not individualized advice for you!

Why Say Thank You Anyway? I Steve Dalton,  Author of The Job Closer & 2 Hour Job Search   Most thank-you notes are nothing more than polite spam. They're sent on autopilot, on reflex. That's why they're forgettable. But what if your thank you's worked as a strategy not a formality… Even better, as he fastest way to turn a stranger into an advocate, to be referred, and re-invited? Steve Dalton—is the author of The 2-Hour Job Search and The Job Closer (translated into 7 languages) —joins me to dismantle the myth of thank yous.    Together we expose why: Generic thank yous commoditize you. They disappear into inbox purgatory. Bespoke gratitude compounds trust. It shows you heard, acted, and evolved. Follow-through is the differentiator. Not words, but proof. Gratitude is career capital. The cheapest, fastest way to turn strangers into advocates. This isn't about manners. It's about leverage. If you're still treating thank you's like a box to tick, you're missing the single most underutilized tool in your job search arsenal. Listen in—and start saying thank you in a way that actually counts.   Connect with Steve Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/daltonsteve/ Books https://2hourjobsearch.com/ https://www.thejobcloser.com/ Loved the episode?

In the hot seat this week is Kemar Roofe. With one hell of a line up for managers he's played under including Bielsa, Steven Gerrard, Vincent Kompany & of course Tony Pulis. Coming through at West Brom Roofe, Roofe had a crowded pathway competing against the likes of Anelka, Lukaku, Berahino & Odemwingie. Which lead to him dropping down the leagues to Oxford for game time under the management of Michael Appleton. At Leeds Roofe witnessed Bielsa sit on countless buckets, bizarre training sessions & the madness of spy gate unfold, before moving abroad to Anderlecht and seeing firsthand what makes Vincent Kompany a top manager. Arriving in Scotland at Rangers with Celtic on the verge of winning 10 titles in a row, Roofe was the heart of Gerrard's transformation of the club to win the league title and reach the Europa League Final.

Videom a podcastom sprevádza Erik Stríž.Reportáž z naozaj drahej akcie Range Rover a čo vedieť o e-motorkáchRange Rover House MykonosAutomobilka Range Rover nás ako jedinú redakciu zo Slovenska pozvala na mimoriadne podujatie s názvom Range Rover House Mykonos. Ide o jeden z nástrojov na tvorbu vzťahu so zákazníkmi a novinármi, ktorý britská automobilka realizuje po celom svete, naviac tento rok oslavuje svoje 55. výročie vzniku.Prostredníctvom luxusného dizajnového ubytovania, apelu na historické kontexty, kvalitného jedla a „milionárskeho“ denného a večerného programu pripomína, kto sú jej reálni zákazníci. O tom, že Range Rover organizuje takéto prestížne podujatia „pre vyvolených“ , sme písali ešte minulý rok z podobnej akcie z okolia britského Cotswolds.Asi takto si predstavujeme tú pohodlnejšiu časť života agenta Jamesa Bonda v podaní herca Daniela Craiga.Range Rover nás v rámci programu zaviedol nielen do dizajnovej prímorskej vily s cielene vytvorenými akcentmi 70. rokov 20. storočia, ale aj na jachtu výrobcu Riva, ďalej sme autami jazdili po málo dostupných miestach ostrova Mykonos a vôbec sa postaral o nevšedné tri dni strávené s predstaviteľmi značky. Pre výrobcu bolo dôležité, aby nás prakticky presvedčil, že si tieto autá kupujú zákazníci nielen pre značku ako takú, prémiovosť a životný štýl, ale aj ohromujúcu všestrannosť týchto áut.Musíme uznať, že tento dôraz na kvalitu v nás zanechal pozitívne dojmy, pretože nám neprišiel nútený a hraný - naopak, tu môžeme hovoriť o autentickom luxuse, ktorý je podstatne vzdialený nášmu každodennému životu.Premiéry SV Fifty-Five a Sport SV Bespoke NocturneRange Rover na svojej dočasnej dizajnovej vile predstavil hneď dve verzie svojich známych vozidiel. Prvým je Range Rover SV Fifty-five, druhý je Range Rover Sport SV Bespoke Nocturne, obom sme venovali pozornosť v samostatnom článku.SUV Range Rover SV edície Fifty-Five zelenou farbou exteriérového laku Lincoln Green nadväzuje na prvý model značky zo začiatku 70. rokov, čo automobilka zdôraznila nevšedným spôsobom - obe tieto vozidlá postavila proti sebe na okraj útesu. Znamenité spojenie elegancie, robustnosti a nadčasovosti, naviac s možnosťou vidieť na vlastné oči dizajnovú kontinuitu, ktorá tieto automobily sprevádza vyše polstoročie.Tmavý Range Rover Sport SV je zasa historicky prvým modelom Sport s programom individualizácie Bespoke. Model s názvom Nocturne zaujme početnými karbónovými doplnkami, estetickými vylepšeniami interiéru v porovnaní s východiskovým modelom Sport SV a faktom, že ide o 1 z 1 - svetový unikát. Krátko po premiére na gréckom ostrove mal byť prevezený k jeho majiteľovi.Veľký rozhovor o elektrických motorkáchPre niekoho sú predmetom vtipov, pre iného vstupná brána do sveta jednej stopy. Elektrické motocykle sú na Slovensku stále obľúbenejšie. Sú pomerne lacné, vďaka možnosti šoférovať ich s vodičákom na auto ľahko dostupné a vynikajú svojou takmer bezúdržbovosťou.S Matúšom Digom, zástupcom importéra elektrických motoriek na náš trh, sme sa rozprávali aj o tom, ako má prebiehať kúpa a evidencia takéhoto motocykla, aké má výhody i nevýhody, či majú nárok na zelené EČV, a tiež ako je to s ich reálnou údržbou a PZP. Dozvedeli sme sa dôležité skutočnosti o
