ShanghaiZhan: All Things China Marketing, Advertising, Tech & Platforms
We sat down with former Asia-Pacific CEO of Ogilvy PR, Scott Kronick, who is indisputably the father of modern PR in China. Scott lived in China for 29 years and is easily one of the longest serving agency leaders, foreigner or Chinese, in the China ad business. What's it going to take for Chinese brands to go abroad? This is the question we asked Scott, who's been behind the effort to take many successful and large-scale brands outside of China. China used to be about cheap goods, but now it represents attributes largely unknown back when Scott first came to China. Scott is now a Senior Advisor for Ogilvy PR, as well as the author of the book, "The Lighter Side of China". He's also an Adjunct Professor at Beijing University. 1. The big moment that China brands came into the world (besides the Beijing 2008 Olympics): 2. Do China brands need to promote their country of origin? Is "Made in China" a good thing? 3. Should more Chinese brands on Amazon embrace brand campaigns to increase their premiumness? 4. Chinese brands fail abroad when they don't understand the nuances of the local markets 5. Peaceful Coexistence of China & the rest of the world: Business that helps people more productive is more apolitical 6. What are the consistent communications mistakes of China's going abroad? 7. Where can China & US find common ground? Healthcare, Climate & Sports? 8. We couldn't resist asking Scott about Eileen Gu 9. Scott's career advice for those interested in getting into the Chinese PR business 10. Scott's advice to his 25-year-old self. 11. A/B Test: Orange (not Red), David Ogilvy, Sir Martin & Mark Read
Edited highlights of our full conversation. Here's a question. How much do you know about what's happening at your company? This week's guest is Mark Read, the CEO of WPP. At last month's Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity, WPP was named the most creative company of the year. He took over the role in 2018 from WPP's founder, Sir Martin Sorrell, in one of the most publicized and dramatic changes in leadership the advertising and marketing industries have ever seen. Taking the company from those turbulent times to one of relative stability and success has required a realistic, pragmatic approach. Leadership of any creative business is a balancing act. Between dreams and reality. Belief and skepticism. The known and the unknown. Where you are on each of those scales depends on circumstances that can change by the day and sometimes faster than that. Which means sometimes you have to make decisions based on instinct. That's fine, to a point. But as flawed human beings, even the best leaders are sometimes let down by their instincts. When you're looking for a place from which to start the process of deciding what happens next, I have found that the best leaders prefer to begin with the truth. As Mark says, when you're in charge, that's often difficult to find. But if you're going to build scalable, sustainable success, finding out what's really happening is a critical starting point. That might be difficult and sometimes painful in the short run. And a lot of leaders by-pass it because it makes life more complicated for a while. But starting with the truth pays for itself in big and small ways. Including in your ability to look yourself in the mirror.

When you're looking for a place from which to start the process of deciding what happens next, I have found that the best leaders prefer to begin with the truth. As Mark says, when you're in charge, that's often difficult to find. But if you're going to build scalable, sustainable success, finding out what's really happening is a critical starting point. That might be difficult and sometimes painful in the short run. And a lot of leaders by-pass it because it makes life more complicated for a while. But starting with the truth pays for itself in big and small ways. Including in your ability to look yourself in the mirror.
Here's a question. How much do you know about what's happening at your company? This week's guest is Mark Read, the CEO of WPP. At last month's Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity, WPP was named the most creative company of the year. He took over the role in 2018 from WPP's founder, Sir Martin Sorrell, in one of the most publicized and dramatic changes in leadership the advertising and marketing industries have ever seen. Taking the company from those turbulent times to one of relative stability and success has required a realistic, pragmatic approach. Leadership of any creative business is a balancing act. Between dreams and reality. Belief and skepticism. The known and the unknown. Where you are on each of those scales depends on circumstances that can change by the day and sometimes faster than that. Which means sometimes you have to make decisions based on instinct. That's fine, to a point. But as flawed human beings, even the best leaders are sometimes let down by their instincts. When you're looking for a place from which to start the process of deciding what happens next, I have found that the best leaders prefer to begin with the truth. As Mark says, when you're in charge, that's often difficult to find. But if you're going to build scalable, sustainable success, finding out what's really happening is a critical starting point. That might be difficult and sometimes painful in the short run. And a lot of leaders by-pass it because it makes life more complicated for a while. But starting with the truth pays for itself in big and small ways. Including in your ability to look yourself in the mirror.
Bonny and Rackham are back on the account and ready to blaze a trail through the Caribbean. But hardly a week at sea and harmony aboard the Revenge is shattered... At the heart of it is a striking young sailor – Mark Read – and a closely guarded secret. A secret he has successfully kept hidden for years. That is, until he meets Anne Bonny. The truth will set him free and launch this unusual crew into the history books. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
After decades in prison, Mark Read vows to go straight. He swaps bullets for words, becoming an author, a musician, even having his life story hit the silver screen. But old habits die hard. Read was never far from trouble, bouncing back in and out of jail. For every offense he's convicted of, he's suspected of a dozen more. Some of these he denies outright, some appear as stories in his books. The tales he saves for the end call everything that's come before into question. We already knew he was a bad man – but there's no doubt, his last performance is his most explosive. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

Episode 172 is with the Head of Physical Performance at Malmo FF Mark Read We discussed: ⚽️ Development vs Performance
Previously: Anne's story continues with her arrival at Nassau, and her discovery that her new husband John Bonny is a government informant. She promptly leaves him, and enlists with Captain “Calico” Jack Rackham, who, she is amazed to discover, allows women in his crew. Meanwhile, Nathaniel Mist's deal with pirate hunter Jonathan Barnet grows murkier, as Barnet insists Mist press the pirates into revealing the whereabouts of their buried treasure. Anne then tells Mist of how they captured an English ship, aboard which the soldier “Mark” Read was a passenger. Read outs the ship's captain as a cruel tyrant, and asks to join the crew of the Revenge, along with young cabin boy Bob. But Mist is most surprised to learn that among Rackham's crew was none other than one Jonathan Barnet... In this episode: on the Revenge, the frosty-but-curious relationship between Anne & Read comes to a head as they battle it out in a fiery sparring match, Mist begins to reap the consequences of printing seditious letters in his newspaper, and Barnet incites a mutiny on the Revenge...

On this episode, The Barretta Brothers welcome Muppet Fan and Musician/Producer, Mark Read, plus Muppet Fanatic Chris Stulz. They both present their best Muppet Collectibles. ABOUT OUR GUESTS: Mark Read Mark achieved global success with UK/Norwegian 90s/00s boyband A1, releasing 5 studio albums and a string of UK and international top 5 hits, reaching the coveted no. 1 spot with ‘Same Old Brand New You' and their cover of A-ha's classic ‘Take On Me'. Their critical and popular acclaim led to numerous awards including MTV, Smash Hits, Disney Channel and the prestigious Brit award for Best Newcomer. The band split in 2002 after 4 years of chart-topping success but joined forces once again (this time as a 3-piece with Mark, Ben and Christian) in 2014 for ITV's hugely popular documentary series The Big Reunion. The candid programme gave fans an insight into the highs and lows of the group's history culminating in a major UK arena tour and a renewed surge of appetite from their loyal fanbase. In 2018, A1 announced that original member Paul would be reuniting with the band for the first time in 15 years for a huge 20th anniversary tour. Away from the band, accomplished musician and songwriter Mark has written for international artistes including Michael Bolton, Boyzone, The Hollies, John Barrowman and Charlotte Church. Mark has also established himself as a confident musical theatre performer. In recent years he has had lead roles in many productions including Cinderella and Aladdin and enjoyed a successful run of hit show Spoonful of Sherman and also appeared as Corny Collins in Hairspray, alongside Russell Grant as Edna. Mark also co-wrote and produced the score for Noah a Musical Adventure which toured across the UK for 2 years. Chris Stulz Chris Stulz's obsession with all things Jim Henson started with hand-me-down toys from Sesame Street and The Muppet Show and has continued into adulthood, encompassing all kinds of Henson related items including Fraggle Rock, The Dark Crystal, Labyrinth and, of course everything Muppets! Since 2012, Chris has run the Muppet Stuff blog where shares news and other information about all kinds of Jim Henson related productions and merchandise. His award-winning collection, aptly named The Muppet Stuff Museum, consisting of over three thousand items, was featured on MeTV's Collector's Call.

Ben & Nick are joined by the fabulous Matt Evers & Mark Read, then the wonderful Camilla Sacre-Dallerup. Nick did nothing special all Christmas. Except this.

This episode describes how I train corporate and institutional leaders in environmental leadership.Here are the notes I read from:Talking with more and more corporations lately, describing how I work with themPutting it here for easy referenceYou'll see among podcast guests many corporate and institutional peopleLorna Davis of Danone C-SuiteDominic Barton 3-time Global Managing Director of McKinseyBeth Comstock, former CMO of GE (when Fortune 5), on Board of NikeBob Langert, former Head of CSO at McDonaldsVincent Stanley, Director of Patagonia, where he's worked since 1973 and professor at Yale School of ManagementTensie Whelan, Director of NYU-Stern's Center for Sustainability and Business, former President of Rainforest AllianceCol. Everett Spain, West Point's Head of LeadershipCol. Mark Read, West Point's Head of Geologic EngineeringMarine Corp 3-star General Paul Van RiperMichael Werner, Google's Lead for Circular Economy, formerly similar role at AppleGave two talks in 2019 at Google, another at Citi and other banks, IBM, Boston Consulting Group, Coca-Cola, LululemonJohn Lee Dumas, entrepreneurDov Baron, leadership guruMarshall Goldsmith, Dorie Clark, Alisa Cohn, #1 coachesBehind the scenes, developed a lot with coaching clients at McKinsey, Exxon-Mobil, Columbia Business SchoolGuest on MAGAmedia.org, a staunchly pro-Trump site, which talked about me supportively on 3 consecutive episodesVery business friendly because business can benefit from thisMost common response is: I thought it would cost money or take time but it saves money and time.Most of all for the executives I work with, it replaces not knowing what to do when you have to act but fearing being called greenwashing or hypocriticalfor the company, it boosts morale and gives a competitive advantage. Think of how Patagonia can charge a premium.Context: most companies hear demand from customers, employees, shareholders, and media to be more sustainable.Almost necessary for top talent. Patagonia doesn't have to advertise new positions. Exxon has to pay top dollarJust today I talked to a guy who runs a business Exxon wanted to hire. He quoted them a high price because he didn't want to work withthem.Action usually comes from junior employees. They're younger and face more of their lives with potential catastrophe and they've investedless in old waysEasy to think senior decision-makers can just change, after all everything points to actingDecision-makers are often most vulnerableWe've all heard people and organizations called greenwashing and hypocriticalHowever well-meaning, accusations make choice for executives easier not to act and risk losing job or company value, even if they want toactThey think they have to be perfect, an impossibly high barThey only have to show they are doing their best, a lower bar, but they have to show they are doing it genuinely and authentically. I enable this, as you can hear from the conversations with the executives I mentionedFor example, Yvon Chouinard of Patagonia behaves far from perfectly, but he hides nothing. As a result, people support him for his flawsinstead of attack, because they see themselves in himIf you act without sharing yourself, people judge your actions against perfection.If you share yourself---that's what leaders do, they allow themselves to be vulnerable---then they support youI've refined my technique over hundreds of projects with executives and leaders in business, politics, culture, eduction, military, etcI will describe two parts: the building block, which I describe in more depth in my first TEDx talk, which describes the environmental leadership process with one person.One person won't change a culture, so I'll describe the second part, which uses many building blocks to transform a corporation.The Building BlockThe building block is a 4-step process to ask what people care about, have them create a way to act on it, make it manageable, and add accountability, where they report how it wentIt goes well and they want to share. They know that when they share what they care about people connect with it.If their employees just heard, we're going to use less plastic, well that might mean they're trying to save moneyIf they hear their CEO sharing trying to do his or her best, they see him or her doing what they want to do themselves. By supporting the CEO, they support themselves. So they don't attack, they support.Building corporate culture with the building blockStill the CEO is one person. I do the building block with a team including several executives and a few junior people who will implement the results.We pick an audience to hear the recordings, which could be just the team if they're private, employees if their goal is mainly morale, clients if their goal is sales, the public if PR. The point is someone has to hear for accountability and to motivate depth, but the team chooses for its goals.I do the building block with all ten people (could be half a dozen or a dozen). Most tasks take 2 weeks or a monthI meet with them in a month, ask how it went, how it affected them emotionally, their relationships.They always learn. Then I do the building block again, this time restricting the task to in the office.We meet again after they finish their second task. Now they've collectively done 20 tasks, the second usually bigger and more rewarding than firstThird meeting we meet as group for a half to full day exerciseBased on experience and teamwork, this exercise leads them to create a team exercise based on experience, that the company will implement, usually led by the two junior people who have been part of this engagement from the startI don't know the company. I don't create the project. They do. I'm like a basketball coach. I don't put the ball in the hoop. The experienced people do.I know how to lead individuals and a team to face and overcome the unique challenges of environmental leadership -- feelings of shame, guilt, helplessness, anxiety, futility, and so on.When they bring to company a project, they aren't saying do as I say, not as I do. They're saying: hear my humanity and struggles. I did my best, grew to learn, and am sharing joy and discover with you. Community, connection.ConclusionI'll leave off here for now, but I wanted to share the professional, executive work I'm doing.If corporations and governments aren't involved, we'll get almost nowhere.I want to engage and activate them so they love acting, get competitive advantages, boost morale, attract talent, etc for acting more sustainably.If they don't their competitors will, so why not enjoy it and act first?My TEDx talks See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Behind The Curtain With An 'Alt-Right' Wizard by Mark Read by The Indypendent
A lot of people say, "Josh, easy for you to act on the environment. You don't have kids."First, I could point to former guest Bea Johnson, who with her husband and 2 sons, produce less than a mason jar of trash per year, whom I see as role models to aspire to.I could point out former guest Jim Harshaw, who involved his four children and wife in his personal challenge. They loved the process and he used it to bring them together.Now I can point out Colonel Mark Read, whom you're about to hear talking joy, fun, bringing family together and not in small ways. Acting on their environmental values connects them across generations, which he then brings to West Point cadets.The point is not to copy what we do, but to find what matters to you and act on it. One by one, other things will follow. I make things work for my life. They make their things work in their lives. If I lived your life, I'd make it work. You can too.Family is only one aspect I could focus on with Col. Read's results. Once you find emotional reward in it, results are a matter of time. I had no idea when I started that I'd reach the level of taking 16 months to fill a load of garbage. Looking back, I see that once I started, that result was inevitable because it's fun, delicious, and rewarding.Hearing Mark's experience reducing waste with his family, you tell me if you think they're done or just starting.How far do you think they'll get?West Point has long traditions. It might be that changing how they do things is hard. It may be that the changes fall within their basic values of service and stewardship. Or maybe something else.We'll see.

I met Colonel Read through Colonel Everett Spain, who has also been a guest of the podcast.Two myths about the military have unraveled in me as a result of seeing West Point from the inside and talking to 4-star Generals and department heads. One is that the military practices command-and-control and that someone of any rank can just order people to do things and get compliance. On the contrary, you'll hear Mark share how people lead with compassion and understanding, at least most of the time outside of combat.The second is that the military wouldn't care about the environment or their effect on it. Again, I don't think anyone could hear Mark as faking caring.So far, the military seems to be fixing what it's broken, but I think it's looking toward sustainability, at least in training areas. The military reacts to the nation's values -- that comes from you and me -- and influences us back.They're ahead of many of us in some ways, especially corporate leaders, who could stand to learn from West Point -- one of the nation's top institution for teaching leadership."It makes us stronger," that's a military leader at the United States Military Academy at West Point talking about environmental stewardship. Who would have expected a top military leader talk about woodpeckers and act on it?A major initiative of the military is restoring economies and helping local populations. Stewarding the environment is fundamental. I hope civilian leaders learn from Mark's lead. I can't believe how much American business and other institutions are trailing the rest of the world in environmental stewardship. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Last week, Midwest digital shop VML was merged with old-school legacy agency Y&R, one of the first moves under WPP's new CEO, Mark Read. It's part of a larger plan to create a slimmer, less siloed holding company that's better suited to face the challenges of the industry. The global CEO of now named VMLY&R, Jon Cook, says a consolidation in the industry was long overdue -- and this is just the beginning.
The team also discussed the week's top news in PR and communications, including Nike's latest iteration of its Just Do It campaign, which features former San Francisco 49ers quarterback Colin Kaepernick; Twitter CEO Jack Dorsey and Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg appearing before the Senate, as well as Google's absence; Mark Read's appointment as WPP CEO and the company's latest quarterly results.

Mark is the earliest of the Gospels, the one written closest to Jesus’ lifetime. It is short, urgent, passionate and dramatic and reads a little like a front-line despatch from Christ’s life and death. Often we hear the Gospels in short sections, but it can be a revelation to read – or hear – the whole of the story at once. David Suchet; one of the best-known and best-loved actors of his generation, reads the Gospel of Mark. Recorded 28 March 2017.
