Tata Consultancy Services (TCS), a global leader in IT services, consulting, and business solutions and operating a Global Delivery Centre out of Letterkenny in Co. Donegal, Ireland, has been ranked among the 100 most valuable brands worldwide in the Kantar BrandZ Most Valuable Global Brands 2025 Report. In a special 20th edition ceremony held in New York by Kantar, TCS was accorded a brand value of $57.3 billion with an accelerated 28% year-on-year growth. TCS now ranks #45 globally, in a list that includes the world's most prominent brands across industry sectors. This year's growth marks a sharp acceleration in brand equity, favourability and awareness. In a separate independent brand audit carried out by Momentum-ITSMA, TCS demonstrated 95% aided brand awareness with business executives across 26 countries worldwide, up exponentially from 29% which the same audit polled in 2010. This growth in brand value and equity highlights TCS' sustained brand building efforts, including high-impact global sports partnerships, customer-centric innovation, and consistent marketing excellence. Martin Guerrieria, Head of Kantar BrandZ, said, "By drawing on the depth of BrandZ's database over the last quarter of a century, our insights show that with the right level of investment and strategic focus, brands have huge potential to drive growth for their owners. TCS' performance this year demonstrates its ability to innovate at scale with AI capabilities now running through its portfolios. TCS' strategic sponsorship programmes continue to build a strong global presence and community around its brand." TCS' rise in brand value is rooted in its long-term commitment to humanizing technology through experiences that inspire, innovations that transform, and relationships that go the distance. At the centre of this momentum is TCS' sponsorship of 14 global running events, including five of the seven Abbott World Marathon Majors such as the TCS New York City Marathon, TCS London Marathon, and TCS Sydney Marathon. These events engage over 600,000 runners annually and contributed $2.25 billion to local economies in 2024, raising $279 million for charitable causes. The TCS brand also demonstrated a 30-point uplift in brand familiarity and 40-point uplift in brand consideration, the highest improvement amongst all the key sponsors of the sport. Abhinav Kumar, Chief Marketing Officer, TCS, said, "For 20 years Kantar BrandZ has recognised the world's most valuable brands. We congratulate them on this special anniversary edition of their brand excellence platform. Alongside the brand leadership we have in our industry, we are very pleased to see this recognition of the TCS brand amongst the world's most iconic brands across industries. This growth in brand value, awareness and equity has been built on a range of high-impact long term marketing and communications programmes. Building a brand is indeed a marathon, yet I would like to thank all my colleagues in TCS for doing this long run, at the scorching pace of a sprint. Kudos to all of them." From creating the first-ever digital twin heart of a pro-runner to deploying Agentic AI systems that can autonomously reason and act across complex business contexts, TCS continues to shape the future of enterprises and consumer experiences. The company's partnership with Jaguar through the Jaguar TCS Racing Team that competes in the ABB FIA Formula E World Championship positions TCS at the intersection of intelligent engineering and sustainable innovation, highlighting the brand's commitment to next-generation experiences that resonate with communities. TCS also continues to be recognized for its strong client partnerships and employer brand. In 2025, TCS was ranked the #1 IT service provider in Europe for customer satisfaction by Whitelane Research. TCS was named a Global Top Employer across more than 30 countries and regions, including North America, Asia Pacific, the Middle East, and Latin America, by the Top...
Cilvēkiem darba vietā vajadzētu justies labi – gan emocionāli, gan fiziski. Kāpēc reizēm tā nav un kā palīdzēt darbiniekiem, jo īpaši grūtās situācijās, skaidrojam raidījumā Kā labā dzīvot. Analizē emocionālās inteliģences praktiķe, biznesa trenere un konsultante Jana Strogonova, Latvijas Personāla vadīšanas asociācijas valdes priekšsēdētāja Eva Selga un kognitīvi biheiviorālās terapijas (KBT) terapeite Agnese Orupe. Jaunākie aptauju dati liecina, ka pēdējā laikā pārliecinoši emocionāli un fiziski labi savā darba vietā jūtas tikai 21 % aptaujāto Latvijas strādājošo, kamēr aptuveni trešā daļa jeb 27 % strādājošo tā nejūtas. To liecina darba vides risinājumu sniedzēja AS "Hestio" un "Norstat Latvija" īstenotā aptauja. Savukārt "Kantar" veiktā aptauja rāda, ka darbinieku kopējā apmierinātība gada laikā nav būtiski mainījusies: attiecīgi 73% darbinieku šogad un 72% pērn ir kopumā apmierināti ar savu darbu: pilnībā apmierināti ar savu darbu ir 17%, diezgan apmierināti - 56%. Jautājums, ko ietver apzīmējums "diezgan apmierināti". Pārsvarā šādās aptaujās mēra, vai darbinieks ir apmierināts ar darba apstākļiem, profesionālo izaugsmi, ko darba devējs piedāvā, ar vadītāju, ar savstarpējām attiecībām ar kolēģiem, protams, ar atalgojumu un motivācijas sistēmu. Jana Strogonova norāda, ka vērtīgākie aptaujās ir komentāri, bet vēl vērtīgāki ir tas, vai uzņēmumā tiek ņemti vērā šo aptauju dati un kaut kas arī mainās. "Bieži dzird uzņēmumos: jā, katru gadu mūs aptaujā, bet beigās jau nekas nemainās. Tas ir pats svarīgākais, jo jebkurai aptaujai beigās jābūt rezultātam, ko sajūtu es kā darbinieks," atzīst Jana Strogonova. Agnese Orupe piekrīt, ka ir svarīgi ne tikai aptaujāt cilvēkus uzņēmumā, bet arī nodrošināt atgriezenisko saiti, kas ir mainījies un ko ar šiem datiem dara. "Nav noslēpums, ka ir cilvēki, kuriem ar laiku rodas ciniska attieksme, kāpēc pildīt tās aptaujas, tāpat neviens tās neņem vērā," norāda Agnese Orupe.

Dans le monde, 54 % des consommateurs déclarent avoir réduit ou cessé d'acheter certains produits en raison de leur impact environnemental ou social négatif.

I denne episoden av Alt Vi Kan diskuterer vi strategier for å skape vekst i økonomisk urolige tider. Sindre Beyer snakker med Amund Bråten (Senior Rådgiver i Kantar) og Rachel Øverås (strategisk rådgiver i TRY) om det evige dilemmaet: Kortsiktig salg versus langsiktig merkevarebygging. Hvordan skape en merkevare som både er meningsfull og annerledes? Hva skiller merker som overlever tøffe tider fra de som faller fra? Og hvordan kan lojalitetsprogrammer brukes strategisk? Få innsikt i hvordan sterke merkevarer står støtt når markedet svinger, og hvorfor gjenkjennbarhet alene ikke er nok for å lykkes. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
Les Français sont de véritables papillonneurs lorsqu'il s'agit de faire leurs courses. Selon une récente étude de l'institut Kantar, un foyer type fréquente aujourd'hui près de neuf enseignes de supermarché différentes. Un chiffre en hausse constante (il n'était que de 7,8 en 2019), qui illustre une infidélité croissante envers les marques de grande distribution. Mais pourquoi ce phénomène ?Une quête prioritaire : les petits prixLa principale motivation de cette infidélité est économique. La crise inflationniste de 2022 et 2023 a profondément bouleversé les habitudes de consommation. Dans un contexte de hausse continue des prix alimentaires, les consommateurs sont devenus plus vigilants et mobiles. Leur objectif : trouver les meilleurs prix, quitte à changer régulièrement d'enseigne. Cette chasse aux bonnes affaires concerne aussi bien les produits du quotidien que les articles d'hygiène ou de beauté, désormais souvent achetés dans des discounters comme Action ou Normal, au détriment des grandes surfaces traditionnelles.La diversification des attentesOutre les prix, les Français recherchent également la qualité des produits, notamment dans les rayons bio, frais ou locaux. Aucune enseigne ne répond totalement à l'ensemble de ces critères pour tous les consommateurs. Résultat : chacun compose son propre parcours d'achat, en fonction des promotions ponctuelles, des offres ciblées, ou des programmes de fidélité personnalisés.Des enseignes à l'assaut de la fidélitéFace à cette versatilité, les distributeurs redoublent d'ingéniosité pour retenir leurs clients. Ils multiplient les initiatives : réductions ciblées à certaines heures, remises sur les produits bio, ou encore programmes adaptés aux foyers modestes. Les cartes de fidélité évoluent également, intégrant désormais des partenariats avec des services annexes (assurance, énergie…) ou des jeux à tirage type loto.Leclerc, champion de la fidélisationDans cette bataille, certaines enseignes tirent leur épingle du jeu. C'est le cas d'E.Leclerc, qui affiche le plus haut taux de fidélité : 29,1 % de ses clients y effectuent plus de 70 % de leurs dépenses. Les coopératives comme Hyper U/Super U (20,3 %) ou Intermarché (17,6 %) suivent, tandis que les enseignes comme Lidl, bien que très populaires, séduisent surtout une clientèle occasionnelle.En somme, les Français ne sont pas volages par caprice, mais bien par nécessité. Leur infidélité est un choix stratégique de consommation, dicté par le contexte économique et l'exigence croissante envers la qualité et les prix. Hébergé par Acast.

Le paiement fractionné est de plus en plus utilisé par les Français. Les crédits à la consommation et ses taux d'intérêts élevés sont en chute libre, de plus en plus de plateformes et de magasins proposent d'étaler le prix d'un achat sur plusieurs mois, sans frais. Le paiement fractionné a progressé de 20% en un an selon une étude de l'institut Kantar et c'est surtout, car il s'est infiltré partout !

Oxford University Associate Professor Felipe Thomaz was a runaway Mi3 hit last year with a peer-reviewed paper that smashes the economics and relevance of audience reach. His analysis – based on 1,000 campaigns and a million customer journeys via Kantar and Wavemaker data – finds blunt use of reach will not deliver business outcomes, because not all reach is equal. Business outcomes was all the talk at the Future of TV Advertising last week, with industry backing the build of a real-time dashboard via Adgile Media to map and measure impressions delivered to hard results close to real-time. Thomaz thinks it’s a start but warns industry risks falling into a “trap” of short-term skew, essentially applying performance metrics to a brand channel. “That worries me,” per Thomaz. “We know from decades of existing research that the long-term impact of advertising is twice the short-term impact of advertising.” But that doesn’t mean industry shouldn’t build it. Per Thomaz, “It's definitely the right path, and we can do this, but we cannot stop there. This is low hanging fruit. You start there, start measuring and say, ‘look, I'm getting outcomes’ … But you cannot ignore the fact that the future exists.” However, he thinks if industry builds it – and keeps building – it could pay off. “If you're eating low hanging fruit and everybody else is eating off the floor, you're golden.” Meanwhile Thomaz thinks agencies could be the key to cracking the code on moving beyond reach and into outcomes because they have enough visibility on pool of clients and, potentially, their data. He says one big global brand owner that has in-housed most of its media is finding exactly the same thing as his paper suggests – and making major gains as a result. Thomaz says that code is all outlined in his paper – and any agency can lift it. “They literally can just go steal the code and run.” Now he’s working on another paper – aiming to prove the impact of different media channels and beyond – including touchpoints like “customer service and salespeople and their effectiveness in driving different outcomes” within different categories. “This is interesting for the people that own those channels, because suddenly they're not competing just on audience size – they're competing on value derived from that audience,” says Thomaz. “That is what media owners are going to be really interested in: Can I charge more for an impression on my platform for this client because they'll get 6x the return [versus another channel].”See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

It was the sudden declines in footy audiences that did it for Suncorp Executive Manager of Media, Greg Kearney and OMD Chief Media Partnerships Officer, Marelle Salib. They knew that diehard sports fans don’t just ditch their teams overnight. But Kearney and Salib had years’ worth of market mix model (MMM) data that countered the volatile numbers coming from OzTAM back in 2023. Those zero ratings, or “doughnuts” per Foxtel Media boss Mark Frain, preceded the split between the pay TV provider and the free-to-air TV networks on measurement, with Foxtel Media breaking away to use Kantar to validate its own return path data from a million subscribers. Digging deeper showed that the ratings were way off for a slew of shows, “and clients were asking what was going on”, per Salib. No measurement system can ever be 100 per cent perfect all of the time, she acknowledges, but OMD has been running Kantar and its own client MMM data in parallel: “What we're seeing is the performance of things like sports sponsorships are remaining stable, and that is a really good indicator of performance … The Kantar data set appears to be really robust,” says Salib. While Suncorp has a sophisticated approach to media investment, Kearney says reach remains a “crucial” input. “We need to know where the audience is, and it's changing so rapidly. If you don't know that, you're significantly behind the eight ball. And secondly, audience numbers are a huge part of the cost equation,” he says. “If you don't get that right, the inputs into your market mix models are going to be off … and you're never going to have a good view on your business outcomes.” Foxtel’s Frain acknowledges the move from one measurement system to another is “pretty challenging” for the industry, but says breaking away and enabling Foxtel Media to plug its pipes into multiple data sources and market mix models “is the best thing we have ever done”. Plus, it gets the pay TV provider closer to closing the loop on how media investment actually delivers a business result. Now Frain’s aiming to plug in more data sources.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Marketing Must Make People Believe, Not Just BuyThe Journey from Content to ConversionAkhil Almeida shares his remarkable journey from Virgin Records to becoming Head of Marketing at Bandhan Life Insurance. With over two decades of experience across music, market research, and financial services, Akhil reveals his core marketing philosophy: "Marketing isn't about selling. It's about making people believe." Tracing his pioneering work in predictive content intelligence at Kantar and E-commerce research panels tracking 60,000 online shoppers, Akhil demonstrates how understanding consumer behavior at a deep level is the foundation for building brands people genuinely care about.Beyond Data: Creating Meaningful Marketing StrategiesAkhil identifies three critical skills modern marketers must master: 1. Pattern recognition to spot cultural shifts before they go mainstream2. Agility to pivot quickly when playbooks become outdated 3. Commercial acumen to articulate ROI to leadershipUsing his experience transforming Bandhan Life Insurance, he illustrates how focusing on underserved segments like self-employed individuals (60% of India's workforce) created strategic advantage in a crowded market. Perhaps most valuably, Akhil emphasizes the crucial distinction between data and insight: "Data tells you what people do, insight tells you why they're doing it. Data without interpretation is just noise." Through practical examples of landing page optimization and brand-agency partnerships, he demonstrates how cultivating insight as a daily ritual ultimately drives marketing that shapes behavior, builds habits, and creates long-term brand value.For Show Notes, Selected Links and ResourcesSubscribe to our weekly newsletterAbout Akhil AlmeidaAkhil Almeida, now the Head of Marketing of Bandhan Life, is a dynamic leader with over two decades of experience in marketing, specializing in brand building, digital strategies, and consumer insights.

פודקאסט "השבוע" עם ליאור קודנר בימים שלישי וחמישי: תקציב המדינה צפוי לעבור השבוע, בן גביר חזר, גיוס החרדים הושתק ונראה שממשלת נתניהו חזקה כעת מתמיד. (01:34) הבחירות עוד רחוקות - אבל עם דודי חסיד, מנכ"ל מכון Kantar וסוקר 'כאן' חדשות, ננסה להבין את העמדות האמיתיות של הציבור הישראלי. למרות הספינים, הישראלים בעד ועדת חקירה ממלכתית והחזרת החטופים, רובם נגד נתניהו אבל אימצו עמדות ניציות. נדבר על הבוחרים של יאיר גולן, שמצליח לרכז סביבו מצביעים ימניים דווקא, על הימין הקיצוני שלא התחזק למרות המלחמה ועל שובו לזירה של נפתלי בנט. (27:40) רוית הכט והילו גלזר יצטרפו לשיחה הזו. ובהמשך על הדוד סם. (48:59) עם שגריר ישראל בארה"ב לשעבר מייקל אורן, שעבד עם ממשל טראמפ, ננסה להבין לאן חותר הממשל האמריקאי. נשאל ממה צריך לחשוש נתניהו ומדוע אנחנו בכלל מעניינים את הנשיא.

Many advertisers think in terms of campaigns, when they should be focused on building long-term creative platforms. WARC's Paul Stringer sits down with Kantar's Dom Boyd to discuss why creative platforms are so effective, how they're built, and how to measure them.
"There is an unofficial reason why pre-testing is so popular, and that's that clients work in very complex organisations with lots of stakeholders," says Martin Beverley, former chief strategy officer at Adam&Eve/DDB.Beverley joins the Campaign team on the podcast to discuss the efficacy of pre-testing and its contentiousness in adland: some say data can stifle creativity while others argue it's a sure method to improve advertising effectiveness.Marketing professor Mark Ritson said it wasn't divisive but actually a "no-brainer", that it's essentially infallible, and we now live in a different age of pre-testing. Beverley discusses this argument alongside Campaign editor Maisie McCabe and deputy creativity and culture editor Charlotte Rawlings, hosted by tech editor Lucy Shelley. The team consider how creatives and strategists should look at the bigger picture, what certainty does for creativity and if pre-testing denies originality.Plus, at the end of the episode, Campaign tests the pre-testing, with Rawlings and Shelley testing their own ad ideas for Liquid Death using Kantar's Link AI early stage testing tool.Further reading:How do you solve a problem like… pre-testing?The Year Ahead for CampaignIs big data driving a short-term view?Troy Ruhanen: 'I wouldn't have taken OAG job if it was all about efficiency and smashing things'Former Amazon CCO Simon Morris appointed chair of new audience insight platform Hosted on Acast.

Welcome back to Intellicast! Joining Brian Peterson on this jam-packed episode is Gabby Blados. They talk about conferences, data quality, as well as discuss some recent headlines from around the research world. Kicking off the episode, Brian and Gabby talk about the upcoming conferences, including SampleCon and Quirks Chicago. With Gabby attending Quirks, she gives Brian a preview of some of the topics, sessions, and activities she most looks forward to while in Chicago in early April. Next, Brian and Gabby turn their sights to the latest market research news, starting with the launch of the Global Data Quality Initiative updated Data Quality Pledge. Brian and Gabby discuss how they feel this is a step in the right direction to improve overall data quality. They are hesitant, though, since it is a pledge, and there is no one to hold people accountable to its standard other than self-regulation. They both agree that the pledge is probably a step toward some sort of regulation around data quality. In the second data quality story, they discuss the results and key takeaways from the new Data Quality Benchmarking Study released by the Insight Association. Brian and Gabby discuss some of the stats, including some that were somewhat surprising to both of them. You can get your free copy of the Insights Association Data Quality Benchmarking Report here. Next, Brian and Gabby talk about some of the recent headlines from around the market research industry, including ComScore's 2024 results, Glimpse's rebrand to Panoplai, and Disney shutting down FiveThirtyEight. In our final story, they touch on the reports about Kantar potentially looking to sell their Worldpanel/Numerator division. Thanks for listening! If you have headed to Pasadena for SampleCon, be sure to say hello to Kathleen Hock. If you will be in Chicago for Quirk, be sure to connect with Gabby or Abby Synder.

Here's a summary with key insights from the LT Marketing and Leadership Show on 12 February 2025:Key Marketing Trends from Kantar's “Marketing Trends 2025” Report (Final Five Trends) 1. Inclusion Imperative (“Woke and definitely not broke”): • Brands ignoring diversity and inclusion risk losing relevance, especially with Gen Z, Millennials, LGBTQ+, neurodivergent individuals, and people with disabilities. • 89% of consumers in emerging markets value inclusivity, compared to 71% in developed markets. • The ‘Africanisation' trend (1 in 4 people will be African by 2050) presents significant opportunities for inclusive branding. • Inclusion is essential for future growth, requiring brands to go beyond token efforts. 2. Slowing Population Growth: • Population growth under 1% poses challenges for market penetration but offers stability in market share. • Changing demographics (delayed marriages, fewer children, smaller households) reduce spending but increase household numbers. • Brands must leverage accelerators like expanding audience reach, enhancing presence, and exploring new markets to sustain growth. 3. Stretching Innovation Limits: • Brands that find new uses or markets for their products double their growth potential. • Examples: Oreo and Ferrero in ice cream, Oral B in bathroom products, Samsung in retail stores. • Innovation requires balancing risk and opportunity, especially for larger brands aiming for incremental growth through category expansion. 4. Evolving Retail Media Networks (RMNs): • RMNs (retailer-operated digital ad platforms) offer precise targeting via first-party data. • By 2028, RMNs will account for 25% of US media ad spend, driven by personalised marketing. • Success depends on collaboration with retailers for data insights, tailored content, and addressing investment challenges like data access and measurement. 5. Livestreaming Growth: • Livestream shopping can boost brand assets by 10-15% (established brands) and drive 30%+ immediate interest (smaller brands). • China's success with platforms like Taobao Live and WeChat sets the trend, with Gen Z and Millennials as key audiences. • Focus on consumer sentiment, engaging narratives, and brand recall for long-term success.Key Takeaways for Marketers: • Embrace Diversity and Inclusion for competitive advantage. • Adapt to Demographic Changes by exploring new markets and enhancing brand presence. • Innovate Continuously by expanding product offerings and entering new spaces. • Leverage RMNs for precise, data-driven marketing. • Capitalize on Livestreaming for immediate engagement and long-term brand affinity.These trends provide a roadmap for future-focused marketing strategies, encouraging brands to anticipate challenges and drive growth through innovation, inclusivity, and digital advancements.Take a seat, tune in, and let's make positive change contagious.Learn more at www.kevinbritz.comhttps://www.kevinbritz.com/book/

The U.S. CMO of the luxury car company discusses how integrating Jaguar Land Rover's brand alongside popular shows like Succession and The Gentlemen has helped deliver its message of quiet luxury. Episode TranscriptPlease note, this transcript may contain minor inconsistencies compared to the episode audio.Ilyse: [00:00:00] I'm Ilyse Liffreing Damian: And I'm Damian Fowler and welcome to this edition of the Current Podcast. Damian: This week, we're delighted to talk with Charlotte Blank, U.S. Chief Marketing Officer of Jaguar Land Rover North America. Ilyse: Charlotte is responsible for JLR's House of brands, which includes the Land Rover Defender and Discovery, the Range Rover, as well as the new line of all electric Jaguar cars. Damian: Before she joined JLI, before she joined JLR, Charlotte gave a TED Talk in 2019 called Lead Like a Scientist, where she examined the psychology of motivation and what it means to lead. Ilyse: Charlotte says she's obsessed with testing new ideas and challenging the status quo. So that's where we started. Damian: So hi, Charlotte. Thank you for joining us. Charlotte: Thank you for having me. Damian: In 2019, you did a TED talk called lead like a scientist in which, you talked about the importance of testing new ideas and challenging the status quo. Now, is that something you put into practice in your current role as CMO at JLR Charlotte: I would like to think so and I think there's room to do even more. I describe myself as a marketer by way of psychology. I did that TED Talk in a previous role as Chief Behavioral Officer of an incentive and motivation company where I really got to be at the forefront of research in behavioral economics and studying what we know about human behavior and social science and how that plays into understanding and motivating people to take action, which essentially is at the core of marketing. So we have so much of an opportunity to act and lead like scientists when we wear our hat as a marketing leader. Damian: And what can other marketers do to sort of take some of those lessons that you were expressing in that talk? You know, and how can they integrate that into their daily work? Charlotte: I think to lead like a scientist, first and foremost, means to test things, to run experiments, and by that I mean true randomized controlled experiments, hold out test controls with properly randomized groups. And really from an applied standpoint, I think [00:02:00] marketers have been leading the way here. I mean, A B tests are standard practice. We see them as common practice in digital advertising and website optimization - really, it's kind of part of the daily work of being an excellent digital marketer in particular is to constantly be A B testing. But I think where there's more of an interesting opportunity to grow is more hypothesis driven testing. So not just the: “Will I see more clicks if I move this important box from the bottom of the page to the top?” But more: “I have this insight about something that really differentiates the consumers I'm trying to reach and how can I craft my messaging to get at that core psychological insight and testing those?” That I think is sort of the next step and where we can really make a difference. Damian: Could you give us an example of how you, you're putting that into practice at JLR? Charlotte: Absolutely. So we are on an exciting journey at JLR as part of our modern luxury transformation. We're really elevating the brands and taking everything up market and really responding to the rise in [00:03:00] wealth and the consumers that we reach from a modern luxury perspective. And part of the strategy to bring that to life is ‘House of Brands'. So JLR really no longer goes to market with the Land Rover brand as the front facing brand, but it fades back to allow Range Rover Defender and Discovery each to thrive in their own right. So this is an exciting opportunity for marketers to really tease apart the difference, for example, between a Range Rover customer and a Defender client. And that's really where the psychological insights come into play. So we've been doing some really interesting research that finds these ‘core differentiating nuggets', we call them. Just off the top of my head, some interesting insights were: Range Rover Sport target is extremely psychologically rich. They thrive in busyness and sort of the chaos of daily life that many of us know. Some of us love, some of us don't love. The Range Rover sport person loves to be very busy and to have their hands in lots of different things and they're rather impulsive. They lack the ability to delay gratification, and they don't [00:04:00] like to be overly structured or routine.So they like to just kind of go for it and go for their dreams and not really overthink things because they can handle doing multiple things at once. So I think you'll see, for example, in the new Range Rover Sport Creative as part of our new Velocity Blue campaign starring Theo James. He kind of exhibits that in the commercial.You see him sort of exploring the property, racing the car around the grounds, and going for an action to what turns out to be simply playing fetch with his dog. But it's this kind of heroic, fast paced scene that really brings to life that sort of busyness and a bit of impulsivity.Ilyse: bit of impulse. Now, as far as that campaign and then like future campaigns, you've talked a lot about the importance of media mix modeling. I'm curious why this is important and would you say it's easier now to lead like a scientist in a marketing world that is more data driven? Charlotte: We're very excited to kick off our MMM (Media Mix Modelling) project. I think two weeks from today we're starting our [00:05:00] really what we're calling our marketing mix project because I think this is finally our chance to put all of the pieces really together in a rigorous scientific data driven way so that we can get a little more sophisticated about understanding and right sizing the expectations for what advertising investment can do in the short term when it comes to sales and that I'm kind of recognizing that in the automotive industry and probably in most others that it's not only about the advertising, but it's about the media strategy being carefully executed in concert with getting all the other pieces, right. Is the pricing right? Are the incentives right? What are the competitors doing? How old is the product? There are all of these factors that come into play, and we can put them all into the model to help us make better decisions about where to place a dollar at any given time for any particular model, and it may or may not be in more media. It might be for new creative, or it might be on adjusting the price. It might differ depending on the product, so I think that's going to make us, as a collective [00:06:00] enterprise, a lot more intelligent and data driven. Ilyse: intelligent. On that note, are there different markets for different vehicles across JLR brands? Damian: the Charlotte: Of course. I mean, that's really part of the fun of differentiating the four brands is they really are different core audiences. And again, this comes back for me to psychology, that when we look at the surface level at the demographics and we simply ask questions like: How old are these people? Are they married? What is their average household income? They look relatively similar to each other and to competitive brands, but we take another level down, we start peeling the onion and we look at: Well, how do they spend their time? And then we look even deeper: But what really drives them? What motivates them? What stage of life are they in psychologically? That's where they start to feel really different.So that can come to life in the ‘where' and ‘how' we approach our media buys and the partnerships we explore. But it also, again, you know, creative is king. It comes into the messaging and how we craft a story that resonates with people. Damian: I just gotta say on that [00:07:00] note, I did love the Theo James spot. The Range Rover spot because it was filmed at Harewood House, which is very close to where I grew up in Yorkshire. So I think I'm in the market for one of those and the same color, too. Charlotte: I was thrilled to hear that when you share that with me in your beautiful English accent, because it is, it's a really special location that was carefully chosen, partly to bring about that English heritage, you know, that's something that is such a special gift and a unique, ~um,~ distinctive asset for the Range Rover brand is ~that~ that English heritage going back to the queen and the royal family. And I think we've ~kind of~ gone through phases about how much in the degree that we play that up. But the time feels right culturally to really ~kind of ~celebrate that and bring forth a bit of cheeky modern Britishness. to the Range Rover sport brand and truly there's no better character for that than Theo James. You know what he brought to life in the Gentleman hit series on Netflix. ~Um,~ Range Rover was heavily integrated in that show. So we already benefited from the show's popularity and Theo's popularity and have a bit of [00:08:00] equity built with him. So I think it's just perfect that we got him to sort of star in the campaign Ilyse: to sort of star in the character. Not to Charlotte: quite handsome. That's true. Ilyse: And it is all about like marketing a lifestyle just as much as a vehicle. Charlotte: 100%. That's, that couldn't be more true, especially for a luxury brand. Ilyse: brand. And we Damian: we hear a lot, ~um,~ now of the importance of marketing being relevant to culture and that's a very good example of how you're tying in. You know relevance to cultural moments, ~you know,~ especially premium content like you mentioned white lotus the gentleman. ~It's ~It's sort of all aligned in lots of Charlotte: I am a huge fan of branded entertainment. Where people spend their leisure time, where their captive audience in front of a big screen in the comfort of their own home, and where they binge watch their favorite shows, Netflix, HBO. We've seen some incredible return on investment when we integrate our vehicles and our brand experience in a highly curated way, against some of these popular shows. Succession comes to mind. ~You know,~ Succession really brought in [00:09:00] this. notion of quiet wealth and like the uber luxury in a way that's a little bit more understated and reductive. The clothing they wear with the million dollar sweaters that just look really simple. There's something about ~that~ that really resonates with the Range Rover brand and the design aesthetic that's not overtly flashy or gaudy, ~um,~ but is a little more reductive and minimalist in design and it's just the characters and succession really brought that to life. Damian: and minimalist in design, and it's just the characters and succession really brought that to me. What insights have you got there around marketing to that group, that younger demographic, ~uh,~ especially given the fact that you're ~kind of ~leading with data? Charlotte: I think it's really important. ~I mean,~ we have to remind ourselves as as much as we do pay attention to performance marketing, and we've built a world class sophisticated martech stack and a [00:10:00] really strong team of digital marketers who are highly attuned to those kind of purchase intense signals and closing demand, ~you know,~ focusing on that lower part of the funnel. But at the end of the day, especially in automotive, especially these luxury brands, it takes time to really build that love in people's hearts. And it, for many people starts early. I mean, some of the most interesting research I've seen, it's as if people are lying on a psychiatrist's couch, going back to their literal childhood memories: What does Range Rover mean to me in my heart? They're thinking about,~ you know,~ their father driving one, or the royal family, some early memories they had of it, or a show that they've seen, ~you know,~ brand and entertainment really comes to mind.~ Um,~ Defenders, ~um, ~sort of rocketing onto the scene in the recent James Bond movie with this really spectacular car chase is an example that, you know, is meant to appeal not only to people who are in market now or can afford one now, but potentially to, to the younger generations who might, ~you~ You know, put the theoretical poster up on the wall and dream of it in the future. So I think that's really important for us marketers. Ilyse: And that really, ties into like. [00:11:00] Personalized journeys, especially if they look back at how they even came across the brand to begin with. When it comes to that as well, which channels are you testing as you like focus on like scale? Charlotte: We're always testing new channels for scale. You know, a lot of our focus around building the upper funnel and growing our brands tremendously. Defender. We doubled sales in the U. S. last year. From, around 15, 000 a year to over 30 and did that very quickly with just a really concerted focus on building awareness, breaking through with really effective creative that drove breakthrough recall and brought a lot of new audiences, into awareness of the brand.And I think, the way to do that is to get some of the brilliant basics right. Which means really good, creative, really strong media plans that index heavily on scale-based channels like CTV. We did a lot of TV, we've been in podcasting, audio. When we [00:12:00] think of the 'see, think, do' framework, really focusing on the ‘see' to build new audiences and build that upper funnel. Damian: That's an incredible statistic you just shared about doubling sales last year of Defender, and that's through brand, sort of brand building. Charlotte: Indeed, as well as physical experiential activations, as well is a big part of our marketing mix. We host every year the Destination Defender Festival, which grows each year. We have an incredible cause marketing platform for Defender called the Defender Service Awards, which gives us a platform to showcase the capability and off road and durability of the car in context of these really emotional lifestyle stories. So we invite very local grassroots charities who need a vehicle that can take them to difficult places. We invite them to submit video applications for a chance to win a Defender, and then we invite consumers to vote. Last year we had over half a million votes in a very grassroots approach, and this year we're looking [00:13:00] already to surpass that. And that just gives us a wealth of content and opportunity to make a difference, and to really establish a platform that's authentic and organic for the brand. So I think those sort of higher touch, authentic, steps are important as a foundation, but then also just to really blast out building awareness through big traditional media has helped as well. Damian: That seems like that, that's sped up, maybe, is it? All of you got sped up. Charlotte: I mean, we truly last year we called it the year of ~Defender, Defender,~ Defender. No joke. It was ~kind~ of all systems go on defender. We were, it was really motivating and really exciting because we had such a clear vision of what we needed to do to differentiate and really break defender onto the scene. So it was just a galvanizing kind of experience to just go all in on this one brand. This year we've got to be able to, walk and chew gum at the same time. We're back to focusing on multiples. Ilyse: at those like cultural and like sporting events and having a big presence at some of those. How much is that really part of your strategy and which, I guess, which cultural events have you really found yourself being? Charlotte: Yeah. That's a very topical question for us. Experiential marketing, I think, gives us a way to really bring the brand to life in a way that transcends the product and makes people feel like they're part of a community. So a great example is Range Rover house, ~um,~ for Range Rover, that's now a global lifestyle platform. We now do Range Rover houses everywhere from. Damian: started Ilyse: But Charlotte: to Dubai, Cormier, you name it, but it started here in the U. S. in Monterey around, ~um,~ Damian: around Monterey. Charlotte: Pebble Beach around Monterey car week. and we do it every year in that location at that event, as well as, Salt Lake City at, Park City, and a few other locations. And basically, the idea is that we'll take over a private residence or building that [00:15:00] matches the design aesthetic of Range Rover and curate these exquisite, really luxury crafted experiences for our clients and prospects and partners. And we do that in partnership with other luxury brands to offer. For example, ~uh,~ rare spirit tastings, or a luxury facial, ~um,~ early access to a new fashion launch. ~Um,~ so we'll curate something different each time to keep it fresh. But the idea, it's been fun for the team to use as almost~ a,~ a filter or a thought exercise of, if Range Rover the brand were a house, What would it smell like? What would the furniture look like? What would you eat there? Who would be there? you can kind of stretch your imagination to bring the brand to life in a way that, transcends the product. And we'll have a special product edition each time. That's also a part of the strategy where we'll release a limited count of a special Range Rover. That's only 17 of them are made. And it Retails for 350, 000 and only those [00:16:00] who are in person have a chance to, have the first look. So that gives it sort of a press hook, ~um,~ and an extra kind of commercial reason to attend. But really the experience we hear more and more from our clients is that I feel like I'm part of a club, an exclusive society. ~You know,~ I'm a Range Rover person and that means that I get to do this and I get to meet and mingle with other life's leaders. We call them in the Range Rover community. Damian: not every automaker can claim that they're able to kind of, like, create a club of like minded members. I know many would probably think that they can, but there's something special about JLR in that way. And I know we touched on this already, but one of those factors, I guess, that plays into the branding and the association is the British connection. You mentioned the ad, but could you say a little bit more about that and how that is Something that you use or not use, especially in the U. S. market, which is what you're in charge. Charlotte: [00:17:00] Yeah, such an interesting question for the U. S. market. ~Um,~ We have a couple of very current examples, I think, to this effect. One is that we have the blessing of having access to this curated collection of Her Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II, her cars, basically the classic Land Rover product that she either drove or was escorted in, throughout her regime. And we have a beautiful collection of 10 of those vehicles that have been painted. painstakingly perfectly restored, and we debuted them globally at Pebble Beach this year. So it was the very first time that an SUV was displayed on the Pebble Beach Concourse, which I was surprised by. That was a really unique moment. That was a really special thing. So we got a lot of press and breakthrough for that moment. And a lot of just fan activity. There are a lot of classic Land Rover Range Rover fans. So now we're taking those vehicles on tour and we'll have them at Rockefeller center with a very British themed experience. It's all about the Royal family. So we'll have sort [00:18:00] of a tour. British, ~you know,~ other partners there and sort of a British feel. ~Um,~ but when you see the cars, ~you know,~ there's even these little touches like a special spot for the corgis to sit or the special hook for the Queen's handbag. ~Um,~ so that is a moment that's really making us stop and appreciate the British heritage and celebrate that in a more public way than we had recently. but a funny story we were just catching up about earlier when I spoke about the Theo James commercial. It's called Velocity Blue is the campaign. We made some edits for a U. S. version of the TV spot, which will start airing that essentially streamlined the story to be a little bit more simple, with a little more car shot, a little more action, which kind of captures a lot of, like, the U. S. feedback. When we have our creative debates and discussions internally, most of the creative origination happens at the global headquarters in the U. K., It rolls out to the major markets. We give our feedback. There's a process that's probably very similar at other global companies, and the script tends to go something like the English version is a bit [00:19:00] more abstract, has a little more storytelling, has a lot going on, and the U. S. wants to see Simple. Hit me with the logo. More car shots. Get to it. People are busy. There's a lot to break through and there's always a cheeky debate about that. But, this time, they actually created a slightly different version for the U. S. Same spot, really, but with a key difference that, that simplified it and removed a scene in the middle that had, you know, an equestrian riding across the property you described. And we just got the test results back and they were fascinating to see. We worked with Kantar to do sort of the initial assessment of how both the UK and the US audiences resonate with each of these two options. And we found that indeed we were correct about the US that the simplified spot without the equestrian, outperforms the original version for U.S. audiences, but fascinatingly, in the U. K., the reverse is true. So that gave us such an interesting, and frankly, a positive outcome that was, gets us [00:20:00] away from any kind of creative disagreements and is much more about honoring these market specific differences. And just isn't that interesting, that people have different expectations of advertising or different understanding of, the content of this particular spot. So it's just an important reminder to global brands to keep the core insight true, but to make those tweaks to really optimize for each market. Damian: Yeah, absolutely. Yeah, great. I mean, keep the horse. I say keep the horse. Ilyse: I mean, I'm an American, right? And I think it's, I think the UK version is better, Charlotte: Ifyou know just keep it simple. Yeah, but it's so interesting, those insights like that fascinating. Charlotte: live for them. I mean, I think that's what marketing is all about is the consumer insight. Damian: And that's it for this edition of The Current Podcast. We'll be back next week, so stay tuned. Ilyse: The Current Podcast's theme is by Love Caliber. The current team includes Kat Vesce and Sydney Cairns. Damian: And remember, Charlotte: especially in automotive, especially these luxury brands, it takes time to really ~ build that love in people's [00:21:00] hearts. And it, for many people starts early. Damian: I'm Damian. Ilyse: I'm Ilyse Damian: And we'll see you next time. And if you like what you hear, please subscribe and leave us a review.

“90% of Marketers agree that sustainability agendas need to be more ambitious.” We are back to 2025 with a bang and a full-on schedule of fantastic guests and riveting conversations. In our first episode of the year we're joined by Ozlem Senturk, Senior Partner at Kantar's Global Sustainable Transformation Practice. Ozlem shares so many interesting insights from Kantar and the World Federation of Advertisers study ‘Sustainable Marketing 2030', where they identified what Marketers need to do to transform faster, the structural challenges and lack of internal resources that need to be overcome and the need for a P&L that factors in planet and profit. We explore the need for new economic frameworks and how circularity plays a pivotal role in both driving and supporting that. Ozlem shares with us, that there is a clear skills gap when it comes to Marketers, she explains, “it's a lot around the daily challenges and people having to understand the value chain and its impact”, and that, “there is a need to speed up the adoption of the circular economy, but Marketers are having a harder time in understanding it, plus they are still quite focused on traditional moments of consumption. We need to expand the understanding of the value chain for marketing.” The need for Marketers to also focus internally and understand what is happening throughout the organisations they work for is becoming increasingly more important. In addition, Ozlem explains that “sustainability drives meaning and difference”, so Marketers should be considering sustainability KPIs as an integrated part of the communications process. “We need to think big when we communicate” … she tells us. There is work to be done, and skills to be honed, but with that comes opportunity. Download the study to find out more! Tune in and listen as we talk to Ozlem about: The range of findings from the study Why Marketers need to understand the circular economy How internal focus is a key requirement to understanding the opportunities Why we can't shy away from talking about what we are doing Marketing's brain print How from a creative brief perspective – sustainability remains at a low level Setting sustainability KPIs as an integrated part of the communications process The barriers to engagement with sustainability This really is an inspiring but highly practical episode to start our 2025 conversations. Tune in, enjoy it, share it - and of course, share your comments. Find out more information about the Sustainable Marketing 2030 report. Connect with OzLem Senturk on LinkedIn.
