Google's long kiss goodnight with third-party cookies seems never-ending at this point, as the tech giant's cookie phase-out plans still remain unclear. Seemingly, Google's plan to ask Chrome users to opt in to cookie-based tracking is reflective of Apple's App Tracking Transparency (ATT) move a few years back. Sure, marketers have long since seen the writing on the wall with this. But, as the future of third-party cookies remains rather ambiguous, marketing and brand executives, including Rankin Carroll, global chief brand officer at Mars Snacking, have started eyeing partnerships and leveraging artificial intelligence to fill in the gaps, with an eye toward a cookie-less future. “We had what we had, and it was the norm for the standard for the industry,” Carroll said on a recent episode of the Digiday Podcast. “As we move beyond that, we're focused on innovating.” In talking with Digiday, Carroll laid out Mars' plans to scale its first-party data across brands like M&Ms and Snickers and the role partnerships play in scaling said plans. Carroll also talked about Mars' Super Bowl stunt and rehashed the company's plans to acquire the Kellanova family of snack brands.

Frosted Flakes, Froot Loops and Raisin Bran. These are just a few of the popular cereals that made the Kellogg Company a global leader in breakfast. But over the decades Kellogg's has expanded far beyond cereal into a snack powerhouse as well, with brands like Pringles, Pop-Tart's and the fan favorite Cheez-It crackers. Trouble is, while its snack business was growing quickly, its cereal business was in decline. Last year, Kellogg's split in to two companies. Its North American cereal business is now a standalone company called WK Kellogg Co, and its snack brands and international cereals are run out of the newly formed Kellanova company. On this week's episode of Leadership Next, Kellanova CEO Steve Cahillane talks to Diane about the tough choice to separate the companies, why Pringles are a hit overseas, and the love affair between Cheez-It and Taco Bell. Leadership Next is powered by Deloitte.
Join Sharon Yourell Lawlor Top Retail Expert from RETHINK Retail as she interviews Loretta Franks, Global Chief Data and Analytics Officer at Kellanova. Take insights on how Kellanova is leveraging data and technology to stay ahead in the evolving retail landscape. "With the right focus on data and analytics, brands can create lasting relationships." - Loretta Franks Key Highlights:
Loretta Franks, Global Chief Data & Analytics Officer at Kellanova, started her career at Kellogg's seventeen years ago. Thanks to a recent spinoff, she now works at a company with a 118 year legacy that is also a start-up. In this conversation, recorded live on June 4th, 2024 at Shoptalk Europe in Barcelona, Loretta shares the experience of managing IT through the separation of Kellonova from WK Kellogg Co as well as how she successfully leads a data and analytics organization across 180 countries and an extensive array of product categories.In spinning off Kellanova, Loretta oversaw the transition of 300 different IT systems, the creation of 7K+ individual user IDs, and did so while maintaining the supportive and fun culture that kept her at the company for so many years. The success of these transitions required that all bets were off as far as silos “We had a job to do and that was to make sure that we continued to supply our customers, continued to delight our consumers, and continued to keep running the business.”Despite the 118 year legacy of the Kellogg's brand, Kellanova is facing the future with a startup mentality and this perspective shift also triggered a cultural shift. The company added courage to its key values of accountability and integrity and they shaped their strategy in order to differentiate, drive and deliver. When it comes to data and analytics in particular, Loretta focuses on the business need or problem and backs their processes, tools, and goals into those needs. Every day requires thoughtful prioritization to meet the needs of so many brands across so many markets. Loretta balances speed, risk and value in order to help her team address organizational needs and assess new opportunities successfully. She emphasizes the need for strong partnerships to succeed in a cross-functional role.Key Takeaways:Focus on what you are trying to achieve and finding the right solution for itIn a time of change, transparency and teamwork are the keys to successLook after your talent and ensure they have a career path Hosted on Acast.
