Episode 20 is about Twenty20 cricket. T20 to most fans these days. But this episode isn't about cricket. About 20 years ago the English cricket authorities identified a problem. Falling attendances, reducing relevance and people moving away from cricket. This week's guest, Stuart Robertson, was the marketing manager at the time. Luckily, he knew his marketing onions and used researched, insight and a deep understanding of the problem to 'invent' T20 cricket. This isn't a podcast about cricket, although we do chat a lot about it. It's a podcast about marketing and you'll find a whole host of information about how to solve problems through a marketing lens from this show. And finally, we've got a T.O.P.T.I.P from Jane Roper, from Behind The Ad. If UTM tracking is lost on you, this is for you. In the episode we discuss: **How T20 cricket came to be born – the marketing version o The rationale for the new competition o The research behind the product development o Stakeholder engagement o Launching the product o How it landed better than anyone expected o Globalisation of the game **The Hundred – cricket's newest format from the ECB o Is the strategy correct o Is it close enough to cricket to be successful **Starting a career with a graduate training programme at the Milk Marketing Board **A career in sport marketing **Moving to agency world Stuart Robertson Stuart Robertson is the Commercial and Strategy Director at The Canopy, a fast growing creative agency in Winchester. An experienced Commercial Director with a successful career in rights-holder sports administration, he has held senior commercial positions at both governing body and club level. Recognised as the 'creator' of Twenty20 Cricket whilst in his role as the ECB's Marketing Manager, Stuart changed the whole cricketing world and, perhaps, the entire sporting landscape around the globe.

How much does national ranking or selectivity matter? What should you expect a college to do for a student? What numbers highlight how good a college really is?

Join insight leaders on June 13 – 14 in Chicago for NEXT, where you can discover how technology and innovation are changing the market research industry. In this episode, Jamin Brazil interviews Stuart Crane, Founder and CEO of Voice Metrics; and Paul Cornwell, CTO of Voice Metrics. Find Stuart and Paul Online: Stuart's LinkedIn Paul's Linkedin Website: www.voicemetrics.io [00:00] Hi, I'm Jamin Brazil, and you're listening to the Happy Market Research podcast. This is a special episode that's connected to the upcoming Insights Association’s NEXT conference. It is located in Chicago on June 13th and 14th. I do a lot of these conferences both inside and adjacent to the market research industry. I think this particular NEXT conference is a must attend if you're interested in learning about what's coming up “next”. Maybe that's how they came up with the name. My guests today are Stuart Crane, the founder and CEO of Voice Metrics, which helps companies leverage voice, as well as Paul Cornwell. Did I say your last name right, Paul? [00:48] Yeah, you got it. [00:49] Voice metrics CTO. Guys, thanks very much for joining me on the Happy Market Research podcast today! [00:53] –Glad to be here. –Yes, thanks for having us, Jamin! [00:56] You guys are speaking at the NEXT conference on how to integrate voice into the total customer experience. I'm really curious, given your backgrounds, when did you first recognize the voice was important? [01:10] Voice, I've been interested in for quite some time back in the day when I would listen to cassettes in the car and CDs in the car. I was really interesting in voice recognition:  recognizing voice with Dragon dictate, and that sort of thing. But when I realized it was really going to be big is actually when I got an Amazon Echo, I think was for Christmas in 2015, I believe, and just being able to talk to this cylinder, and have it talk back to you and start songs, and you could still talk to it while music is playing. And obviously Siri was out there. But now, it's basically an ambient voice conversation. It just blew my mind! And then I found out that you can actually write software for it. You can write programs for the Amazon Echo. Back then, it was just called Echo. Now it's obviously “Alexa”, and it's a big ecosystem and everything. So I just really recognized that being able to talk to devices and have the full features of computers behind it really is going to transform things. Not that it's going to take away the capabilities of mobile or anything like that, but supplement it in such a great way. I started looking at ways that we could program voice and got involved very early in the Alexa’s software development ecosystem and just took it from there. [02:29] All right, great. So Paul? [02:31] Yeah. So I came from an AI machine learning background prior to getting into voice, and that was sort of my segue-way into voice and where the interest came from. So actually, before I met Stuart, I was pretty hot and heavy for Alexa and the idea of building these interactive experiences. So I was looking a lot at Lex and Alexa on the Amazon side, and it just seems like a natural segue-way coming from that AI background and thinking about how these devices and experiences can be more conversational and just the technology caught up to where my head was. With the opportunity with Stuart, who had this vision, at the very beginning of what we've built, everything just seemed to align. [03:23] So I'm going to go ahead and share, and I apologize, I don't mean to hijack the point, but for me I recognize it was really important with my daughter and the iPhone I got her when she was 11 years old. We were driving in the car for a three hour drive, so I just started making small talk.

“Helena: Will they be happier when they can feel pain? Dr. Gall: On the contrary. But they will be technically more perfect.” ― Karel Čapek, R.U.R. Three high school kids, in a suburban wasteland at the foot of a mountain range, try to keep things together in the early-nineties.   To learn more about how Things from the Flood is played check out our primer episode. To get a sense of where these characters started take a listen to our Tales from the Loop story:   The World: Pittsfield and the Lenox Loop.   Pittsfield, MA - in the Berkshire mountains on the border of NY and Western MA. In the 1940’s GE, MIT and a Federal Research Facility carved a particle accelerator into the deep rock beneath the mountain range just south in Lenox, MA. They also carved cooling towers from the rock itself. The loop passes just under Pittsfield proper. The center of the city the large GE plant has long since been abandoned and retrofitted into housing for refugees from the lowlands. To the south, a mile or two down South St, HWY 20 is the turn off to Bousquet Mountain, a ski area. A bit further south are the cooling towers and the subsurface labs. In ‘89 two things happened- the wall fell, ending the cold war, and the flood came. The Loop and its labs are suspected as causing the flooding, which spread out from the hills and turned the middle of New England into a massive tidal floodplain. Under severe scrutiny over its part in the flood GE and facing massive fines, declared bankruptcy. Normally the death of the industry would kill a town like Pittsfield, but all the displaced people from Boston and the farmlands moved en-masse into the Berkshires, or neighboring upstate New York. Service industry sprung up along with real estate and other infrastructure works, the once sleepy, lightly industrial nearly rural Pittsfield, has become a bustling suburb to Lenox to the south. Lenox itself has become a large city, though the cooling towers and structures of the now flooded and abandoned labs are given wide berth. The once spread out development south of Pittsfield center is now a dense suburban development. The ski lodge has been converted to Condos and year-round living. The other big event to note, in 90/91 rifts began to open in the swamps to the East. Emerging from these rifts came the Beasts- large dark shapes in crystalline armor. The government scrambled and with the help of a quintet of mysterious giant robots, were able to repel the waves and waves of creatures. This threat has become a part of life after the Flood.
