I am a big fan of the dynamic Lydia Fenet, who has written not one but two books we are talking about on the show today: The Most Powerful Woman in the Room Is You: Command an Audience and Sell Your Way to Success, which came out in 2019, and Claim Your Confidence: Unlock Your Superpower and Create the Life You Want, which came out last year. Lydia is the CEO and founder of the Lydia Fenet Agency, has raised over a billion dollars for nonprofits globally as the world's leading charity auctioneer, hosts a podcast I love and subscribe to called “Claim Your Confidence,” is a globally recognized speaker, and is a wife and mom. She grew up in Lake Charles, Louisiana, which we talk about in today's episode, and rose to become Global Managing Director of Strategic Partnerships for Christie's Auction House. Today on the show Lydia talks to us about confidence, and her belief that, in her words, “you already have everything it takes to be confident” and that “confidence and power comes from within.” She talks about her worst-case scenario moment, what confidence means to a life, why the journey is more important than the destination, why fear is our “greatest learning tool,” what her Southern upbringing taught her, and about the car accident that nearly took her life. Lydia has made a career built on empowering others, and you'll no doubt leave this conversation feeling just that—empowered. Enjoy!   Both by Lydia Fenet: The Most Powerful Woman in the Room Is You: Command an Audience and Sell Your Way to Success Claim Your Confidence: Unlock Your Superpower and Create the Life You Want

Welcome to the What's Next! Podcast with Tiffani Bova.  This week I'm bringing back an insightful conversation with Michael Chavez that every leader can benefit from.  Michael is the Global Managing Director of Duke Corporate Education, part of Duke University. He joined Duke in 2006 and held various leadership roles before becoming the CEO in 2016. Before Duke, Michael spent over five years as the founding member of a successful startup and was the Director and Senior Learning Consultant at Coca-Cola Company. Today, Michael's research focuses on how leaders can most effectively shape, institutionalize, and lead from a shared organizational purpose. THIS EPISODE IS PERFECT FOR… leaders, especially those in the middle of an organization, who want to reconnect with their own sense of purpose to inspire those around them to do the same. TODAY'S MAIN MESSAGE… leadership and purpose play an even larger role than ever within a company looking to drive change. Because of this, a new kind of leader has emerged, the “center manager,” or someone at the center of the organization, who is managing up and managing down at the same time. These center managers face tremendous tension from all over the organization that they have to navigate. Leaders are the storytellers of purpose and meaning. Purpose is what drives people to feel like they're part of something larger and more important than themselves. Michael believes, and I agree, that purpose is the stabilizing factor over initiatives or strategies that are disrupting the workforce faster than people can process the information. WHAT I LOVE MOST… purpose galvanizes and motivates people to bring their best selves every day. Leaders are the makers of meaning because they are the ones who inspire people to be more engaged, which leads to a much better workplace.

People love podcasts! Listeners doubled in four years from over 200m in 2019 to more than 460m in June 2023, and global listeners are set to blow past half a billion by 2024*. As brands head into this audio space with its channel-specific challenges, they need effective support; to tackle brand safety; and to lock in listeners through meaningful audio media experiences. Trailblazer Dave Byrne, Director, Global Advertising Platform Integrity at Spotify and an expert in brand safety and brand suitability joins our host Ben Downing, Global Managing Director, Ethical Media & Strategic Partnerships, Havas Media Network to get to the heart of effective strategies for brands to create meaningful audio moments which connect, in the right audio context, to engage with listeners. Key challenges in the audio brand safety arena discussed during the conversation include: tone of voice, ‘Is somebody saying something as a joke or are they saying something as a legitimate, harmful thing? The evolution of language, an innocuous term today could be a term used to spread misinformation next week; and the nuances of language from one country to the next, with different meanings for the same term or word.Dave and Ben delved deep into the entire media experience: “As much as we talk about content and brand safety, where we've had to focus on in audio is more about the context versus content,” said Dave. Some advertisers have negative keyword lists which don't reflect the broader context of what is being said, rather than focusing on individual keywords or individual pieces of content within the media.“The concept of brand safety, or sometimes we use the term brand suitability, has become so central. This idea of media experience, because it's not only about content, it's about the context and the connection the audience has from those two things. The connections forged by that context and content,” added Ben.Bubbling to the service was the notion that brand suitability and effectiveness are often the same conversation. "I have seen multiple, multiple times that when brands get brand suitability right engagement metrics soon follow,” underlined Dave.On reach Dave added: “Just because you've got a million eyes looking at your ad doesn't mean you're appearing in the right environment, that those million ads, a million eyes are going to make an action, are going to change things. There's definitely something to be said about bringing it sometimes back to basics of what is good media to buy. I can't tell you how many times in audio medium people are “Oh, we want to be here on this playlist". We ask what kind of audience do you want to capture? And actually that audience is in all these other places. It's about not sacrificing revenue, profitability, engagement for the sake of other metrics that may be assigned.”For all marketers involved in, or heading into, the burgeoning audio space this is a conversation not to be missed!

Good health is one of the things that we value as most important in our lives. When other tragedies strike, people often will remark that at least they have their health. And even when all other things are going well, being in poor health (even momentarily with a minor illness) can completely through us out of balance. But despite the importance of  our health, our relation to and understanding of our health can be pretty limited. Healthcare literacy and patient literacy continues to be a challenge for most people. And there can be a lot to understand and keep up with giving that healthcare information continues to change as new things emerge (like pandemics), new discoveries are made, and new products are marketed.So the challenge becomes how do we communicate healthcare information to help providers, patients, and caregivers in their efforts to achieve better healthcare outcomes.Today's guest on Experience by Design to help us address these questions is Kristie Kuhl, Global Managing Director of Health and Wellness at the Zeno Group. Kristie began her career as an attorney, but before that majored in art history. We discuss how her beginnings as an art history major helped her understand the complexities and nuances of meaning. She channels this understanding to think about how people receive messages and information, recognizing the importance of meeting them where they are. Her legal background ironically helped understand the need to have clear representation of meaning and the need to communicate in ways that people understand. And her concern for people and desire for positive health outcomes has helped to bring both of her worlds together at the Zeno Group.We talk about her journey into the world of healthcare communication and what she has learned in the process. We explore how diagnosis is an emotional moment, and that healthcare products are often ones that no one really wants to buy.  We talk about the need to stylize communication for different communities, cultures, and generations. Finally we talk about the importance of communication training for people who have knowledge, and how to connect content to an audience's humanity.

In light of the global climate and social crises, and from monetized misinformation to rising distrust of media titles, the advertising industry needs to drive and shape a future-facing agenda to build a path forward, carefully examining investment choices and supporting a pluralistic media with diverse voices, heard MAD//fest's audience.

Emerging media platforms with highly-engaged DEI communities are providing new opportunities for brands to create campaigns – meaningful media experiences - which engage effectively with DEI audiences.In this episode, host Ben Downing, Global Managing Director, Ethical Media and Strategic Partnerships, Havas Media Network and co-host Olivia Dotzek, Strategy Director, Havas Media Network sit down with Robyn Exton, the founder of HER, the world's largest dating and community app for queer women, nonbinary, trans and gender non-conforming people and home to 12 million people around the world, and Amy Still, co-founder, Whisk, which monitors the ‘rising stars' in emerging media.Together Ben, Olivia, Robyn and Amy discuss a raft of issues from how HER is creating meaningful media experiences for brands and what showing up in an authentic way looks like for a brand to details on how HER collaborates with brands and the impact of engaging insights from HER early in the strategy development process lead to success.Research published by Simpson Carpenter (2019) revealed that 31% of the LGBTQ population felt that the ad industry was portraying them badly and 40% of the general population believed advertising was failing to portray different gender identities properly. This year showing solidarity during Pride, and beyond, is more important than ever, underline our guests. From a media perspective, this means ensuring that inclusive values are reflected in where brands invest - ensuring support for minority-owned media platforms and publishers, that are a meaningful source of community and representation for their audiences, and being highly conscious of not inadvertently funding misinformation or anti-inclusive content.We'd love to hear your thoughts about meaningful media.

Now in its 15th year, Havas' trailblazing research of brand value explores how brands tangibly improve peoples' lives functionally, enhance their personal well-being, and contribute to wider society. Findings from the latest edition of our Meaningful Brands™ report demonstrate that while brands' actions to drive societal progress, inclusion and sustainable behaviors have become more important and expected, people are examining everything through the lens of “me” in the face of more challenging and uncertain times.Meet the “Me-conomy”! In the “Me-conomy”, brands need to act decisively to drive social change and progress, but they're also expected to provide everyday joy, support mental wellbeing, make their lives easier, offer affordable indulgences and more.How can we apply these key fresh findings to the meaningful media experience? What does ‘the ‘Me-economy' mean for brands? How does the data reveal the approaches brands must make to be meaningful today? Sitting down with our host Ben Downing are the masterminds with their teams of the latest Meaningful Brands™ report, Seema Patel, Global Managing Director, Mx Intelligence, Havas Media Group and Mark Sinnock, Global Chief Strategy, Data & Innovation Officer, Havas Creative. Together they unpack this exciting new study in a passionate, insight conversation, providing actionable steps for brands to make purpose, personal.Enjoy!

Today's episode features a Q&A with our own Graham Page. Graham leads the Media Analytics business Unit as Global Managing Director of Media Analytics at Affectiva, a Smart Eye company. He pioneered the integration of biometric and behavioral measures to mainstream brand and advertising research for 26 years as Executive VP and Head of Global Research Solutions at Kantar.Over the course of the last year or so, there has been a thread of debate in the media regarding the validity and ethics of facial emotion recognition.  This has often reflected the point of view of some data privacy groups who are concerned about the use of facial technologies across several use cases, or the opinions of commercial interests who offer alternative biometric technologies, or traditional research methodologies.Scrutiny of emerging technologies is vital, and the concerns raised are important points for debate.  Affectiva has led the development of the Emotion AI field for over a decade, and the use of automated facial expression analysis in particular.
