Sponsored by milk_shake X Hello Salon Pro https://thetease.shop/products/hello-salon-pro-subscription-box Interview with Andrew EdwardsonAndrew Edwardson is the Global Brand President of Matrix. Matrix is a leading professional brand whose mission is to elevate its users through a unique portfolio of products for all hair types and all humans. Since assuming this role two years ago, Andrew has refocused the vision of the brand itself – harnessing and expanding upon its pioneering 44-year legacy to connect with the next generation of consumers and stylists. Throughout his 15-year international career in the beauty industry, Andrew has been instrumental in unlocking the potential of and turning around brands and the categories within. His expertise in luxury brand management, product development, and communications reinvigorated Kérastase to become the #1 luxury hair brand in the industry with iconic products Blond Absolu, and Genesis. He has also worked on industry legend Maybelline, supporting pillars like Fit Me and reviving the complexion category in the post-pandemic decline with new star products like SuperStay 24H Skin Tint and the recently launched Sunkisser liquid blushes. With Matrix, Andrew has the same ambition: for this iconic institution to take its rightful place as the love brand for the next generation. And with that in mind, he is spearheading the modernization of founder Arnie Miller's vision, celebrating Matrix as a brand to elevate, inspire, and bring joy to both new and existing consumers and stylists. His renewed focus on haircare is highlighted by the launch of star range Food For Soft (already top 10 in hydration in the market), as well as the new Instacure Build-A-Bond repair range that delivers one billion bonds in every bottle to fight damage.Links:https://www.instagram.com/iamandrewedwardson/https://www.matrix.com/https://www.linkedin.com/in/andrewedwardson/https://www.instagram.com/matrix/ News from TheTease.com: https://www.thetease.com/dreamsgirls-hair-and-donnas-recipe-rally-to-provide-aid-to-those-affected-by-the-los-angeles-wildfires/https://www.thetease.com/fastfoils-brings-new-innovation-to-the-foil-category-with-launch-of-first-endothermic-pop-up-foil/Help Those Impacted By The California Fires: https://www.thetease.com/a-comprehensive-list-of-gofundme-pages-for-beauty-professionals-impacted-by-la-fires/

Luke Boase launched Lucky Saint in 2018, but he says the brand's potential for an iconic future has always been top of mind. As the leading dedicated non-alcoholic beer brand in the U.K., Lucky Saint is sold in over 10,000 points of distribution in the country, including more than 1,000 pubs and restaurants. That number includes its own bar in London, aptly named The Lucky Saint, which operates at the base of a building that also houses the company's office. Last year, the company raised a £10m Series A round that included funding from VC firm JamJar Investments. Led by a mission to become “the world's defining alcohol-free brand,” Lucky Saint is resonating with both sober consumers and moderate drinkers, according to Luke. Inclusivity is a key theme of the company's marketing and communication strategy, leading with a message of quality and appeal as a beverage for anyone who isn't drinking. In the following interview, Luke talks about how his interest in entrepreneurship sparked the idea for Lucky Saint and why he has a long-term vision for the brand. He also explains how the company incorporates consumer insights and data into its retail and buyers pitches, his views on Lucky Saint's role in the non-alcoholic beer category and how he thinks about competing with strategically-owned and -aligned beer companies.

For the first 65 years of its existence, Maker's Mark had no innovation department. The legacy whiskey brand, known for its red wax coated bottle necks and premium, yet approachable, bourbon, had long focused on quality and consistency in favor of new product development. The spirits industry, however, is evolving. Consumers are placing greater value on innovative concepts and embracing creative offerings. Meanwhile, Gen Z drinkers are consuming less alcohol than previous generations, but also emphasizing premium experiences when they imbibe. To meet the demands of equally important consumer groups – loyal Maker's Mark customers and modern drinkers new to the brand – the company tasked Beth Buckner, the brand's senior manager of innovation and blending, and Blake Layfield, its senior director and head of innovation, blending and quality, with the stewardship of the bourbon's coveted taste profile and creation of products that will attract novel interest. We sat down with Beth and Blake for an interview that explores their roles and responsibilities and how the standards set by Maker's Mark founder Bill Samuels, Sr. are integral to new product development. As part of our conversation, they discuss a common misconception about science and spirits, how a “taste vision” is the foundation for everything they do at Maker's Mark and why they eschew trendy concepts in favor of nuanced expressions of the bourbon. Show notes: 0:35: Beth Buckner and Blake Layfield, Maker's Mark – Beth and Blake talk about their respective educations and work at Maker's Mark and how they align the chemistry of distillation and aging with the subjective and sensorial aspects of producing bourbon. They also discuss how the distillery's “taste vision” influences their work as product developers and quality control professionals and how much latitude they give themselves if and when they want to veer slightly away from that vision. Beth and Blake also explain where they draw inspiration from; how they are empowered to innovate while incorporating the perspective of the distilling, marketing and sales teams; how trends and consumer behavior factor into their purview and how they are making their own mark at Maker's Mark.

If all you're known for is what you do, you've basically rendered yourself uncompetitive. -Ken Schmidt For more aerospace industry news & commentary: https://goo.gl/3piJkw. To learn more about Craig Picken and the NorthStar Group, visit http://northstaresg.com/. In a competitive marketplace, nothing kills you faster than trying to brand yourself on your product or service. That's a lesson Harley-Davidson learned the hard way. At one point, the company was being outpaced by Yamaha, Kawasaki and BMW…until they decided to position themselves differently. They went from a product-focused business to a thriving lifestyle brand, and that turned into one of the biggest turnaround stories in American history. If you focus on what you sell, you'll render yourself uncompetitive. If you focus on what people believe and say about you, you'll create a unique brand no one can copy. That's how a historic company became an iconic brand. How can we apply Harley-Davidson's strategy to our own personal and corporate brands? How do we focus on memorability instead of marketability? In this episode, I'm joined by speaker, consultant, former director of communications for Harley-Davidson and author of “Make Some Noise: The Unconventional Road to Dominance”, Ken Schmidt. We talk about the secret to strong branding, whatever industry you're in. Three Things You'll Learn In This Episode The lesson Harley Davidson learned the hard way In business, competing on what we do is the death knell of market domination. How do we shift to something that sets us apart? A game of memorability Building a brand is easier said than done, what are 3 major steps we need to take to build a strong personal or corporate brand? Stand out by delighting your customers So many businesses are commoditized these days and they miss huge opportunities to stand out and gain loyalty. How do we get customers to come back for more?

Hi! I'm Kenzi! I am a personal branding and online marketing coach and I'm obsessed with helping women remember who TF you are under all the BS you've been taught so you can confidently SHINE online and get paid to BE YOU. In 2020, I graduated with my master's degree in mental health nursing and shortly after was fired from my “dream” job. So, I took it as a sign from the Universe, I left my career behind and dove deep into personal healing and my spiritual evolution and started to create my dream life of freedom. At first, I had zero idea what I was doing and I was full of anxiety and imposter syndrome. But I knew I had a vision and I kept seeing other babes online living that vision, so I kept moving forward to create it. Fast forward 4 years and I have built a successful multi 6-figure brand online, moved into my dream penthouse, travelled the world, and to top it all off- I've been helping hundreds of women create the same reality too. I'm on a mission to help as many women as possible step away from the matrix and align with your intuition and human design. Through my programs and content, I will guide you and give you all the tools you need to build the most iconic brand on the internet and shine like the star you were born to be.

Today on the podcast, I'm chatting with someone I've known and admired for a very long time - Sally Mackinnon from Style by Sally. Sally has been an absolute icon in the Melbourne fashion and styling world for the past 17 years. I used to have my own style blog back in the day when I was still working in corporate. I've always loved talking about fashion, beauty, and all things style-related. So I was super excited to have Sally on the show to dive into how she's grown her business and built a massive following of over 200K on Instagram. Here are a few key takeaways from our chat: Sally has stayed focused on her core styling services over the years - wardrobe edits, personal shopping, style consultations. Consistency is key! Figure out what you want to be known for and keep delivering. COVID lockdowns were tough on Sally's in-person business, but gave her the time to start creating video content. This skyrocketed her growth and trust with her audience on Instagram. Sally does ALL her own Instagram content creation and editing! Her feed is amazing and I was shocked to learn she doesn't have a social media team. Major kudos to Sally's commitment and creativity. A big lesson Sally shared was to focus on being the best version of yourself and not get too hung up on comparing yourself to competitors. There is enough room for everyone - just keep showing up and serving your people! I absolutely loved this honest and insightful conversation with Sally. She is the real deal and it's no wonder she's built such an incredible business and loyal community over the years.

The founder and CEO of Purely Elizabeth, which markets natural and organic granola, cereal and oatmeal, Elizabeth has long been at the forefront of incorporating ancient grains, such as chia seeds, quinoa and amaranth, into products that are designed for mainstream consumers.

Show notes: 0:35: Elizabeth Stein, Founder/CEO, Purely Elizabeth – From the show floor at Expo West 2024, Elizabeth speaks about the impact of a well-crafted booth, why she never built her company to sell it and how ingredients, first and foremost, have helped differentiate Purely Elizabeth from other brands. She also discusses how package design that resembles a clean beauty product gives the products greater visibility on shelf, takeaways from launching brand and line extensions, how the company's cookie granola was the first “proper process” for new product development and tips for cost-effective innovation planning. Elizabeth also shared lessons learned about raising capital and why she waited as long as she could before accepting outside investment, how to trust that investors will not replace you as leader/CEO of your company and the importance of reminding yourself about what makes you happy.

What makes a truly iconic brand? Few people are better qualified to answer that question than Neil Barrie, the branding expert behind household names like Pinterest, Peloton, and Airbnb. Neil Barrie founded the TwentyFirstCenturyBrand agency in 2018 and works with many of the world's most innovative brands, including Headspace, Bumble, and Depop. From 2021-2023, the company grew revenue by 70%. Originally a failed rock star, Neil has led the development and growth of top-tier brands including Disney, The Grammys, and Unilever. Throughout his career, he has used his platform to make the advertising industry better and has been featured in publications such as Forbes, Fast Company, and The Guardian. Landing Your First Client How did Neil and his co-founder land Pinterest as their very first client? A lot of it had to do with personal branding and the reputation they'd built for themselves in the industry. From the beginning, Neil was intentional about doing things for free for influential people, with the expectation they would one day recommend TwentyFirstCenturyBrand. He and his co-founder held workshops for venture capitalists and offered to help them with their portfolios. It also helped that they had a clear mission for their company (to build influential twenty-first-century brands) and a strong point of view on what made an iconic brand: it had to be purpose-led, community-driven, tech-enabled, and narrative-based. Neil and his co-founder came out of the gate with a clear thesis. They published white papers on their four-part framework that helped companies see the value in branding. Their strategy paid off–Pinterest took a chance on the new agency and TwentyFirstCenturyBrand's client list has only grown since. Ingredients of an Iconic Brand Branding can be broken down into two sides: input and output. Output is your brand reputation or what other people say about you when you're not around. Input is everything you put into the brand: your vision, your purpose, and the experience you create for your audience. When asked about the future of branding, Neil says there are three factors entrepreneurs need to consider: profit, purpose, and people. After the turmoil of the last few years, profitability is more important than ever. Purpose is your vision and “people” refers to how you rally your community around that vision. To build a truly influential brand, you need to balance all three factors. Enjoy this episode with founder Neil Barrie… Quotes “Most tech companies are leaving money on the table because they mistrust branding.” “It's tough to get business when you're starting out. From the start, community and doing things for free for influential people with the expectation they would recommend us was a big part of our strategy.” “Out of the gate, we acted like we'd been around for 30 years and hoped that sense of confidence and conviction would be infectious.” “Vulnerability is required if you're going to build a proper brand.” “You need to invest the time in figuring out what you stand for, what you are, how you're going to codify that into your experience and so on.” Links mentioned in this episode: TwentyFirstCenturyBrand website: https://twentyfirstcenturybrand.com/ Connect with Neil on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/neil-barrie-29488aa/ A Colourful View From The Top: https://www.amazon.com/Colourful-View-Top-Twenty-One-Extraordinary/dp/1408715791
Happy Women's History Month! The CMO Podcast continues to celebrate key women leaders with Jim's guest this week–Deena LaMarque Piquion, the Chief Growth & Disruption Officer at Xerox, the 118-year-old workplace products and services company. Of course, Xerox holds a special place in brand history; like Kleenex, Google, and Coke, Xerox is one of the few brands that became synonymous with its category.Today, Xerox is a $7 billion company, and more diversified than the company you likely remember. Its current slogan, “We make Work, Work” says it all. In January, Xerox announced a new operating model and organizational structure to accelerate its progress; Deena was elevated from Chief Marketing Officer to her current position as part of that reorganization. Deena is a first generation American; she studied Political Science and Government at Vassar, and earned a Masters at Georgetown in Foreign Service. Through a chance meeting at Georgetown with a CEO, Deena started her business career in Miami with Tech Data, a giant IT distribution company. Deena then spent 19 years at Tech Data before joining Xerox in 2019. Tune in for a conversation with a self-titled leader: "Mother, Inspirational Leader and Business-minded Executive. Dedicated to raising kind and productive kids.” See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
