If you are a brand experiencing massive growth, your first instinct might be to just keep doing exactly what you've been doing.  Luckily for Thorne consumers, Mary Beech, the brand's chief growth officer, and Ivan Kayser, the CEO of Redscout, refuse to do anything but. In this episode, we're taking a fly-on-the-wall look at how Beech, Kayser and their teams worked together to define Thorn''s brand identity based on two key insights stemming from their joint brand research: the importance of Thorn''s clinical, scientific rigor and the consumer's deep desire for personalization.  They also share the secret behind their highly successful client-agency partnership, which starts with early morning breakfasts in Brooklyn, creating crystal-clear briefs and a simple golden rule: Don't hire jerks. Both Beech and Kayser also discuss their take on the brands that have successfully transitioned from challenger brands to innovative leaders within their industries simply by "breaking the rules.” The sound bite "Authenticity comes first versus fame." The stories Lana Condor and Misty Copeland tackle once-taboo topics in Thorne's new campaign Ciara and Thorne ‘level up' creatine marketing with new stigma-busting campaign Thorne debuts on-the-go products through cinema-esque ad featuring Ben Shelton The key takeaways Don't settle for complacency. Innovate for the benefit of the consumers. When a brand is experiencing high growth, the instinct is often to just repeat the exact same tactics. However, marketers should take the time to extract the underlying strategic lessons of why those tactics worked, which allows the brand to diversify its marketing mix and experiment with intentionality. Differentiate between category table stakes and true brand differentiators. Consumers will often state that certain product features like scientific excellence and rigor are essential. But what's important to the consumer does not always fuel brand differentiation. Marketers must position the brand against the insights that actually drive preference and interest. Define the brand's “vibe” for the upper funnel. Lower funnel marketing can easily rely on specific claims, product stats or transactional hooks. However, when shifting spend to upper funnel awareness, the messaging gets "vibier," requiring the brand to be crystal clear on exactly what they are communicating to the consumer. Design brand strategy for daily execution. A strategic positioning is useless if it just looks great on a wall or sits in a drawer. Brand strategy must have an orientation toward execution, providing tangible guardrails, messaging guidelines and tone directions so the creative teams can actually run with the work. Establish a strict “order of operations” for messaging. To maintain a cohesive strategy across all touchpoints, establish clear rules for how the brand speaks. For Thorne, the strategy was “know me, show me,” meaning the brand had to prove it had an understanding of the consumer first, and only then provide the scientific proof points in response. Target potential advocates, not just viable buyers. When conducting audience research, the goal should not just be finding out who you could target, but who you should target. Marketers should look for consumers whose behaviors, identities and motivations make them natural advocates and referrers for the brand. Prioritize relatability over sheer fame. When choosing brand ambassadors, avoid using celebrities simply as a stamp of quality or relevance. Thorne tapped into talent including Misty Copeland, Lana Candor and Ben Shelton, who have authentic stories and personal journeys of product discovery that the target audience can relate to and feel seen by. Build the brand foundation before bringing in talent. Launching a foundational brand campaign without a celeb forces the marketing team to crystallize their tone and message independently. By not letting talent become the foundation, the brand builds a strong core that subsequent ambassador campaigns can securely build upon. Treat agencies as an extension of your internal team. Brands should approach hiring agency partners with the same mindset as hiring internal employees. Rather than just chasing agencies with awards, hire nice, smart people who will make the team and the work better. As Beech states, “I don't hire jerks.” Avoid “garbage in, garbage out” briefs. Agencies cannot be expected to work miracles if the client hasn't defined the core problem first. Marketers must take the time to thoroughly prepare a brief, defining exactly what they want out of the work and what the expected business impact should be before handing it off to creative partners. campaignlive.com Music - Take you Out by Lucid Tides, courtesy of Triple Scoop.

"The purpose of my business is not only bake and sell, because we are introducing… culture or food habits of France to the Japanese people." "Japanese people don't buy baguettes because they don't know how to eat it." "After twenty shops, I needed to change my mentality to be the new type leaders." "I have responsibility for the life of the workers." Shu Kimura is the founder of Boulangerie Maison Kayser Japan and a fellow Rotarian. Born into the Kimura family, whose ancestors helped introduce bread-making techniques to Japan via Nagasaki (Dejima) in the 1600s, he chose to build a separate path rather than continue the established family business. He studied law at university, then worked in insurance for six years in market development before deciding to become a baker. He trained in the United States in Kansas, studying wheat science and fermentation chemistry, then worked as a baker at Amy's Bread in New York City. He later went to France to train closely with artisanal baker Eric Kayser living near his home as a private trainee before being invited to become a business partner to bring the brand concept to Japan. Kimura built the company in 2000 and opened the first Japan store in Takanawa in 2001. Over time, he grew the business to dozens of locations across Japan, leading hundreds of employees while navigating Japan's distinctive customer habits, service expectations, and people-management realities. Shu Kimura's leadership story is a case study in translating a food culture—not merely selling a product—into a market with different habits, assumptions, and decision styles. He entered baking after a first career in insurance, then rebuilt himself through technical study of fermentation and wheat science in Kansas, practical craft in New York, and high-intensity apprenticeship in France. That blend of science, craft, and commercial pragmatism shaped how he approached Japan: with conviction about quality, but equal focus on "how to sell" in a society where bread is often treated as a one-hand snack rather than part of a shared table. His early strategic insight was not that Japanese consumers disliked baguettes, but that many simply lacked a usage framework. That is a leadership lesson in market education: changing behaviour requires storytelling, context, and repeated micro-demonstrations. Sampling hundreds of baguette slices daily, Kimura used seasonal moments—Christmas and New Year's gatherings—to help customers discover bread as a centrepiece of hospitality. The result was not incremental improvement but a demand inflection point: the product did not change; the meaning did. As the company expanded, Kimura's definition of leadership evolved in stages: hands-on labour at one to three shops, charisma and founder-driven momentum from four to twenty, and then a deliberate shift from "activist and baker" to architect of systems, accountability, and culture. This transition mirrors a broader Japan leadership truth: scale forces leaders to move from doing to enabling, from individual mastery to organisational capability. Kimura also highlights a practical contrast between European-style top-down authority and Japan's preference for shared understanding and bottom-up execution. Rather than merely issuing task-level directives, he argues that people in Japan need the whole picture first—the total view—before work can be broken into puzzle pieces. This aligns with consensus dynamics such as nemawashi (pre-alignment) and ringi-sho (circulating approval), where clarity of purpose and social alignment can matter as much as speed. In an uncertainty-avoidant environment, trust is built through repeated communication: purpose, targets, role clarity, and recognition systems that show personal growth. Technology appears in his leadership thinking not as novelty, but as operational resilience—sales planning, ordering, loss control, and cross-application data transfer. The strategic point is decision intelligence: reducing waste and stabilising performance through better signals, with the potential to build digital-twin-like visibility into demand, production, and staffing over time. Yet Kimura remains grounded: culture, education, and human motivation are the levers that keep quality consistent across many locations. Q&A Summary What makes leadership in Japan unique? Kimura frames Japan as a context where leadership effectiveness depends on shared understanding, not merely authority. He contrasts European "boss is boss" top-down control with a Japanese style that works better when leaders explain the total view of the company first, then break it down into actionable pieces. In practice, that means investing heavily in communication of purpose, targets, and role boundaries—an approach consistent with consensus-building patterns such as nemawashi and ringi-sho. Why do global executives struggle? He implies the struggle often comes from applying familiar command-and-control habits in a market that expects alignment, context, and relationship-based coherence. Leaders who only provide "do this, do that" instructions may fail to create commitment. Without the larger narrative—why the work matters—people drift, and brand consistency erodes across locations. Is Japan truly risk-averse? Kimura's experience suggests "risk-averse" is often a shorthand for "uncertainty-avoidant." The baguette challenge was not fear of trying something new; it was uncertainty about how to use it. When he taught customers how to eat baguette and anchored it to family occasions, behaviour changed rapidly. The leadership implication: reduce uncertainty with education, examples, and social proof. What leadership style actually works? He describes a staged evolution: doer-leader at small scale, charismatic founder at mid-scale, then system-builder after twenty shops. The effective style becomes one of delegation with accountability—pushing responsibility down to store and area leaders while reinforcing philosophy and standards through education. Trust is sustained through fair, frequently improved HR systems that recognise growth and provide future pathways. How can technology help? Kimura points to connected planning for orders and sales, and systems to manage loss control and operational accuracy. He also discusses using systems to support smaller independent bakeries with HR and payroll calculations. This is technology as operational leverage—moving toward decision intelligence and potentially digital twin capabilities—while acknowledging cost constraints and the reality that some AI applications may still be premature. Does language proficiency matter? He treats language as a tool rather than the essence: interpretation can solve comprehension, but the substance of what a leader communicates is decisive. In other words, clarity of message, philosophy, and intent carries more weight than linguistic perfection. What's the ultimate leadership lesson? For Kimura, leadership is responsibility for people's livelihoods: failure affects hundreds of jobs, not just the founder's personal assets. That sense of stewardship drives his focus on communication, education, continuous system improvement, and the creation of a "happy life with bread" shared by bakers, shop staff, and customers alike.
