He doorstops Google's Paul Limbey, who warns against the “double shift” of giving top performers both day jobs and transformation work, highlights the rise of forward-deployed roles backed by major programs from Google Cloud, Anthropic and OpenAI, and explains his upcoming leadership fable The Frog in a Sock (out early July) about organizational constraints like workflows, approvals and pilot obsession; he also argues for product-minded scaling, better performance metrics for transformation, and repeated communication. At the System1 party, Conor discusses talks from Andrew Tindall, Mark Ritson and Jon Evans, chats with creator Henry about high-effort LinkedIn video, and interviews Jon Evans on going full-time with Uncensored CMO.

“I will defend brand to the death.” Ty Heath, Global Director of Thought Leadership at LinkedIn and Jury President for the B2B Creative category at Cannes Lions 2026, joins Conor Byrne on That's What I Call Marketing for a conversation about B2B marketing, brand building, AI search, thought leadership, creativity and the future of buying decisions.Ty has helped shape some of the most influential thinking in modern B2B marketing through The B2B Institute at LinkedIn, including work on the 95/5 rule, brand and demand, buying committees, B2B creativity and the emotional nature of business decision-making.In this episode, Ty shares her journey from high-performance athletics to Google, Nestlé, IBM and LinkedIn, and explains why the lessons of elite sport still shape how she thinks about leadership, resilience and long-term practice. The conversation then moves into some of the biggest questions facing marketers today. What changes when buyers use AI tools and LLMs to build their shortlists? How should brands think about visibility, authority and credibility in an AI-assisted search world? Does gated content still make sense? Why does brand still matter when algorithms and AI tools are influencing discovery? And what will Ty be looking for as Jury President of the B2B Creative Lions at Cannes Lions 2026?This episode is part of the Cannes Sessions, sponsored by The Digital Voice, the amplification agency working with leading ad tech and martech companies globally.

Banking is one of the hardest categories in marketing.Trust is fragile. Customer expectations are shaped by every app on their phone, not just other banks. And every interaction has the potential to redefine the relationship.In this episode of That's What I Call Marketing, Conor Byrne sits down with Laura Lynch, CMO of Bank of Ireland, to explore what it actually means to build a modern banking brand in 2026.Laura takes us inside Bank of Ireland's recent brand transformation, including the thinking behind the new “Right With You” platform, the role of customer experience in shaping strategy, and why the bank deliberately avoided category clichés in its latest advertising work.The conversation also explores:Why Laura stepped out of traditional marketing roles before becoming CMOHow customer trust is rebuilt after the banking crisisThe balance between AI, personalisation and human connectionWhy marketers can become too focused on attribution and performance metricsThe challenge of creating distinctive advertising in regulated categoriesHow Bank of Ireland uses customer insight, segmentation and CX to shape growthThe role of leadership, resilience and timing in building a marketing careerLaura also shares the inside story behind Bank of Ireland's latest campaigns, including the strategic use of humour, movie references, and why every line, casting decision and creative choice was intentionally designed to create distinction.For marketers working in financial services, regulated industries, or legacy brands navigating change, this is a fascinating look at how modern brand building actually works inside one of Ireland's most important organisations.Timestamps:00:00 – Why trust in banking has to be earned every day02:00 – Laura Lynch's path to becoming CMO of Bank of Ireland06:30 – Leaving traditional marketing to build customer experience capability10:00 – Going “all in” to land the CMO role13:00 – Leadership, intensity and avoiding groupthink16:30 – The reality of leading marketing inside a major bank18:00 – Rebuilding customer trust after the banking crisis20:00 – Why banking competition has fundamentally changed21:30 – Inside Bank of Ireland's new brand strategy24:00 – Building “Right With You” with customers and colleagues27:00 – Why the strategy had to stretch the organisation29:00 – The making of the new Bank of Ireland advertising32:00 – Using humour to talk about fraud and financial confidence35:00 – Creating distinctive work in a regulated category37:00 – AI, personalisation and the future of marketing teams39:00 – Why performance marketing alone is not enoughBrought to you by TracksuitTracksuit is the always-on brand tracking platform helping marketers understand brand health, measure impact, and make better decisions over time.

The Singles is back with Tracksuit, taking some of the biggest marketing stories in culture right now and putting them under a bit more pressure using real brand data.Because the interesting part is rarely just the campaign itself. It is what the campaign reveals about the category, the audience, and the way brands are trying to grow.In this episode, Conor Byrne is joined by Ed Parkin and Bella Harrison from Tracksuit to explore three very different examples of brands using culture, entertainment, and timing to build relevance.Lucky Saint shows how alcohol-free beer has moved far beyond Dry January, using Lime Bikes, London culture, run clubs, and moderation trends to position itself as a year-round brand for active urban consumers.Lego demonstrates why it remains one of the most culturally flexible brands in the world, turning the FIFA World Cup into entertainment before a ball has even been kicked, while continuing to stretch beyond the toy category into fandom, collectibles, and adult audiences.The conversation then turns to the latest Entertain or Die Report, looking at why entertainment is increasingly becoming a commercial growth strategy rather than just a creative ambition.The episode also explores:Why brands are now competing against Netflix, TikTok, creators, and sport for attentionThe shift from “salesmanship” to “showmanship” in advertisingWhy entertaining brands are outperforming commerciallyWhat brands like Currys, Compare the Market, Guinness Zero, and Lego are getting rightHow mental availability is built long before purchase moments happenIf you want a deeper understanding of how entertainment, culture, and brand growth connect together, this episode is packed with practical examples and real-world data.Listen to Paul Feldwick on That's What I Call Marketing here:Paul Feldwick on That's What I Call MarketingRead the full Entertain or Die report:Entertain or Die Report Find out more about Tracksuit:TracksuitListen to more episodes of That's What I Call Marketing:That's What I Call MarketingTimestamps:02:06 – Lucky Saint and the rise of moderation culture03:24 – Why Lucky Saint is so culturally aware05:05 – Lime Bikes, London culture, and timing07:08 – The functional drinks category shift08:45 – Alcohol-free beer becoming mainstream10:00 – Guinness Zero vs Lucky Saint11:18 – Winning locally before scaling nationally13:22 – Brand perception and category positioning15:00 – Lego and the FIFA World Cup campaign16:01 – Why Lego works across every demographic18:22 – Lego's cultural timing advantage20:00 – Lego, fandom, and entertainment21:40 – World Cup advertising and brand competition22:15 – Entertain or Die explained24:00 – Why entertainment drives commercial growth25:35 – Future demand and entertainment26:17 – Gap hires a Chief Entertainment Officer27:09 – What makes brands entertaining29:00 – Brands that entertain us today31:00 – Why culture matters inside companies Hosted on Acast.

In this episode of That's What I Call Marketing, Conor Byrne speaks with Andrew Tindall, Chief Growth Officer at System1, about his new publication/pdf The Creative Dividend. Built using global Effie case study data and creative testing from over 250,000 respondents, the research explores a simple but uncomfortable truth: most advertising fails to deliver profitable growth. Andrew explains why creativity has been undervalued in modern marketing, why many campaigns generate revenue but not profit, and why the industry's biggest problem may actually be a lack of creative confidence. The conversation also explores the relationship between emotion, distinctiveness, media investment, pricing power and brand growth and what marketers should actually do differently. If you care about marketing effectiveness, advertising creativity, and long-term brand growth, this is a fascinating deep dive.Topics Covered• Why only 9% of advertising campaigns report profit growth• The concept of creative confidence• What the Creative Dividend actually means• Why distinctiveness beats differentiation• Why advertising cannot create loyalty• The link between emotion and profit• Why many campaigns are designed to fail• The tension between creative quality and media investmentTimestamps05:00 What The Creative Dividend is trying to solve06:32 Why global Effie data matters for marketing effectiveness07:17 Has creativity been undervalued in advertising?08:59 The crisis of confidence in marketing creativity10:16 Why many organisations see creativity as a risk11:21 The role of the client in protecting great ideas12:17 Why businesses avoid creative risk13:00 The shocking statistic: only 9% of campaigns report profit growth14:17 Are marketers measuring the wrong outcomes?15:21 The importance of pricing power in marketing16:45 How creativity enables brands to charge more19:16 What the “Creative Dividend” actually means21:00 The four drivers of creative effectiveness22:00 Why 83% of campaigns are designed to fail23:06 Why great creative fails without media support24:16 The power of long-term creative platforms26:00 Consistency vs freshness in advertising28:46 What surprised Andrew most in the research29:07 Why distinctiveness matters more than differentiation29:48 Why advertising doesn't create loyalty30:00 Distinctiveness vs emotion: efficiency vs effectiveness31:41 Why emotional advertising drives profit32:44 Why revenue alone isn't success in marketing34:00 The debate about gated content in marketing research39:00 AI, marketing knowledge and the future of learningLinks MentionedThe Creative Dividend (download the pdf): https://system1group.com/the-creative-dividendTracksuit https://www.gotracksuit.comThat's What I Call Marketing Podcast https://www.thatswhatIcallmarketing.comGreen Hat Episode (gated content discussion): https://open.spotify.com/episode/72D5zXtNRzzNgdjYytRQdI?si=r2kbvHU3QqWVh6sM6na7wg OR https://podcasts.apple.com/au/podcast/s3-ep39-the-b2b-power-shift-what-marketers-must-do/id1615415427?i=1000672178838 Hosted on Acast.

Synthetic Research Explained, Understanding AI-Powered Audience Testing for MarketersWhat is synthetic research and how accurate is it really?In this episode of That's What I Call Marketing, Conor Byrne sits down with Dr. Ben Warner, former Chief Data Adviser to the UK Prime Minister and co-founder of Electric Twin, to unpack one of the most talked-about developments in modern market research: synthetic audiences.This is not ChatGPT pretending to be a consumer. Synthetic research uses real-world survey data, behavioural modelling and large language models to create AI-driven audience simulations that allow organisations to test messaging, product ideas and strategy at speed before committing real budgets. If you work in marketing, insight, product, strategy or leadership, this episode will challenge how you think about research, risk and decision-making.⏱️ Timestamps00:00 – Introduction to synthetic research02:00 – From quantum physics to behavioural modelling03:35 – Why human behaviour is harder to predict than we think05:17 – The problem with traditional decision-making tools09:02 – What Electric Twin actually does10:00 – What a “synthetic audience” really means13:59 – Testing creative, messaging and propositions in real time15:06 – Accuracy vs traditional survey research17:00 – Real-world use cases across marketing and product19:02 – The danger of asking the “wrong” question23:06 – Democratising customer insight inside organisations25:00 – Where synthetic research fits (and where it doesn't)27:00 – Innovation vs risk-averse organisations29:09 – The story behind the name “Electric Twin”In this episode, we cover:How synthetic audiences are built from real-world dataWhy traditional surveys can be slow, expensive and restrictiveHow AI allows teams to iterate research questions instantlyThe difference between testing ideas safely and making bold decisions blindlyWhy trust and validation matter in emerging AI toolsWhere synthetic research complements (not replaces) conventional methodsWhy this mattersEvery organisation says it wants to be “customer-centric”.But insight is often expensive, delayed, siloed or underused.Synthetic research introduces a new tool into the decision-making toolkit — one that allows teams to explore, iterate and pressure-test ideas before they go live.Whether you are a CMO defending budget, a product lead developing a proposition, or a strategy team modelling future scenarios, this conversation explores how AI-driven research could reshape how decisions are made.If you found this useful, share it with a colleague and subscribe for more conversations with marketing leaders shaping the future of the industry.

Most advertising doesn't fail because it's wrong. It fails because it's dull and dull is expensive.In this episode of That's What I Call Marketing, Conor Byrne sits down with Adam Morgan and Karen Nelson-Field to unpack the real cost of dull creative and dull media using hard evidence from IPA effectiveness data, System1 testing, and large-scale attention measurement.The conversation moves beyond taste or opinion and into economics: why rational, low-emotion advertising can still “work” but only by wasting millions; why some media environments structurally suppress attention; and why optimisation, procurement pressure, and performance thinking have quietly normalised mediocrity.If you work in brand, media, B2B, finance-led marketing, or any category that tells itself it has to be boring, this episode is a wake-up call.What you'll learnWhy 50% of ads struggle to beat a cow chewing grass on attention and emotionHow dull creative drives up required spend by millions to achieve the same outcomesWhy CPM is often a cost per meaningless thousandHow attention volume predicts ROI, memory, and effectivenessWhy great creative fails when media doesn't give it a stageHow risk, responsibility, and “sensible” decisions slowly drain impact from workWhere AI may actually help creativity rather than flatten itThis episode draws directly on the “Cost of Dull” research programme and explains what it means for marketers trying to balance effectiveness, efficiency, and real-world constraints. 02:27 – What do we actually mean by “dull” advertising?03:55 – The cow-chewing-grass test and why half of ads lose06:00 – Attention vs emotion: two ways to measure dullness08:00 – The Cannes “Ennui” experiment and burning money as a signal11:10 – What “dull media” really means (and why it's misunderstood)13:55 – When great creative is wasted by low-attention environments16:20 – Is dull creative ever the better option?17:24 – Trust, facts, and why rational messaging costs more19:00 – Campaigns vs single ads: where attention is really lost20:00 – Why mix matters more than hero-only thinking21:00 – Global differences: creative vs media effects23:00 – Why B2B marketing is structurally duller and the cost of that26:00 – The “dull eclipse”: performance mindset, optimisation, benchmarks28:20 – Procurement, pricing pressure, and creative erosion31:00 – CPM, wastage, and the illusion of efficiency34:20 – AI, challenger brands, and testing creativity at speed37:55 – Risk vs responsibility: how sensible decisions kill ideas41:00 – What marketers can actually do differently43:45 – Final reflections and where the research goes nextAbout the guestsAdam Morgan is co-founder of Eatbigfish and a leading voice on challenger brands, effectiveness, and commercial creativity.Karen Nelson-Field is Professor of Media Science and one of the world's foremost researchers on attention, media value, and advertising effectiveness.If you're trying to explain to a CFO, procurement team, or board why “safe” work keeps underperforming, this episode gives you the language and the evidence to do it properly.Content Mentioned in the Episode: Risk & Responsibility https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MuJx2IJjaFwCost of Dull Media Report https://21467338.fs1.hubspotusercontent-ap1.net/hubfs/21467338/COMPANY%20MATERIALS/Cost%20of%20Dull%20Final.pdfCost of Dull Eat Big Fish https://www.eatbigfish.com/thinking/challengers-and-cost-of-dull Hosted on Acast.

What happens when a radio comedian, a senior drinks marketer, and a 2,000-year-old Roman hydration recipe collide?In this episode of That's What I Call Marketing, Conor Byrne sits down with Merrick Watts and Ed Stening, co-founders of Posca Hydrate — a sugar-free, hypertonic hydration drink inspired by ancient Roman Posca.Posca isn't a nostalgia play. It's a sugar-free, hypertonic drink inspired by a Roman solution to unsafe water — rebuilt for modern life, modern habits, and modern expectations. That means confronting everything from flavour and formulation to packaging, positioning, and retail resistance.Along the way, Merrick and Ed unpack a set of ideas that matter far beyond drinks:Why liquid still matters more than marketing.Why category creation is harder than brand building.Why refusing “me-too” formats can slow growth — but protect belief.And why brands should aim for humour, not jokes.Merrick explains why jokes age quickly, but a sense of humour travels across audiences, occasions, and time and how that thinking shapes Posca's tone, creative decisions, and internal culture. It's not about being funny. It's about not taking yourself seriously while taking the product seriously.They also discuss building brand in-house rather than outsourcing belief, measuring brand as a startup using Tracksuit, balancing mental and physical availability, and what it really takes to scale a challenger brand globally without losing the story that made it matter in the first place.This is a conversation about founders, flavour, brand discipline, and the uncomfortable decisions that come with doing something genuinely different.3:50 – From radio comedy to drinks founder5:50 – Why the liquid comes first7:50 – The Roman origin of Posca10:50 – Turning history into a brand story14:50 – Ancient wisdom meets modern science16:20 – Building brand from the inside out19:50 – Tone, humour, and taking the product seriously23:50 – Building a category, not fitting one29:50 – Brand vs physical availability32:50 – Measuring34:50 – Global expansion strategy38:50 – The hypertonic breakthrough moment44:50 – Risk and belief Hosted on Acast.

So What happens after the marketing headlines fade? Let's we revisit some of the biggest brand stories of 2025 — and test them against what actually changed over time. Using always-on brand health data from Tracksuit, Conor Byrne is joined by Dan and Jasper to look back at Tesla, American Eagle, Rhode, and Deliveroo, six to nine months after the noise. Not opinions. Not predictions. Just evidence of where attention turned into demand — and where it didn't.Across very different categories, a consistent pattern emerges: “The campaign didn't hurt sales — but the brand is weaker than it was.”In this episode, we explore:Why Tesla still dominates innovation perception but is leaking trust and preference in both the US and UKHow American Eagle's controversial campaign held short-term revenue while brand fundamentals quietly erodedWhat Rhode's acquisition by e.l.f. gets right — and the brand risks that come with scaling distributionWhy Deliveroo, post-DoorDash acquisition, faces a preference problem in a category defined by low loyalty and easy switchingThis is a conversation is about thinking about long-term demand, pricing power, and resilience not just quarterly performance. If you care about the gap between being noticed and being chosen, this episode is for you.02:40 – Tesla: innovation without reassurance11:40 – American Eagle: sales hold, brand weakens17:45 – Rhode: scaling without dilution23:05 – Deliveroo: preference in a default-driven category Hosted on Acast.

Mark and Peter share the story behind the campaign, the collaborative environment fostered between agency and client, and how their shared ambition led to Cannes-worthy work. In a market as intimate as Ireland, the ambition to achieve Cannes success is not just about accolades but about elevating the standard of creative work. Despite debates on the effectiveness of award-winning campaigns, we agree on the necessity to continually raise the bar for creativity and effectiveness in our industry.Two inspiring discussions that provide a wealth of knowledge and inspiration for anyone passionate about marketing and media.01:31 Interview with Jerry D'Angelo: Career Highlights02:38 Insights on Media Management at P&G03:54 The Evolution of Cannes: Traditional vs. Tech09:47 In-Housing vs. Outsourcing: A Balanced Approach18:43 The Role of Technology in Modern Media20:58 Challenges for CMOs in the Tech-Driven World23:57 Future of Cross-Media Measurement27:59 Talent Management in the Media Industry34:23 Part Two 35:06 Background and Business Challenge37:00 Campaign Development and Relationships41:19 The Pub Museum Concept44:50 Execution and Challenges51:53 Trust and Collaboration57:01 Celebrating Success and Impacthttps://www.instagram.com/thatswhaticallmarketing/https://www.tiktok.com/@thatsmarketinghttps://x.com/thats_marketing Hosted on Acast.
