How should brands Find New Space?

In this episode, Jane Ostler talks to Kantar's Rob Wade about how brands must Find New Space, the third Growth Accelerator in the Blueprint for Brand Growth. They discuss the strategic exploration of incremental opportunities beyond a brand's current market. It involves identifying new categories, occasions, or services where a brand can extend its reach.For example, San Pellegrino, known for sparkling water, successfully ventured into flavoured soft drinks in cans, demonstrating a creative way to find new spaces without cannibalising existing sales. Another example is Lurpak Butter, which capitalised on advertising to amplify existing uses, such as cooking with butter instead of oil, thereby expanding the category. Premiumisation, like Baileys Chocolate Lux, and appealing to price-conscious consumers, as seen with Netflix's ad-supported tier, are also strategies brands use to innovate and grow. The key is to ensure that innovations are incremental and align with the brand's existing motivations and contexts to mitigate risks and increase the likelihood of success.To find out more, visit kantar.com/blueprint Hosted on Acast.

You know what? I've written about 200 of these blurbs now, and I'm reasonably confident no one reads them.Sometimes I put in little stories and jokes about the games we've played like this: Jonathan and Chris do their best to get to grips with the 85th instalment in the venerated Demon Quest franchise, and lose their topsy turvy minds and collective motor faculties as they get to grips with OMAZE, a game quite literally about mazes.. made from ‘O's.Sometimes I'm a little more direct: In addition to a Playdate bounty, this week our intrepid podcasters have played Pokemon! Rez Infinite! Jumping Joe! Jumanji! And a few other cranked goods.But whichever way the copy fairy takes me, I always put the work in, to make sure those who stumble upon this show have a decent idea of what to expect in the episode.If you've read this far, cheers!

Funding is often an issue because cybersecurity for Operational Technology (OT) environments is a relatively new idea brought on by the rapid IT-OT convergence. In this mini-episode, Ian Bramson, Global Head of Industrial Cybersecurity, and Rob Wade, Global Head of Sales and Strategy for Industrial Cybersecurity, walk through the journey of solidifying budget and buy-in throughout the organization, from CISOs to shop floor managers.Produced by Sandra Monsalve-Ramos, Brittney Warrick and Daniel Fischer, Digital Communications at ABS Group

Obviously, rates have skyrocketed over the last few weeks, which has changed many of our strategies, so Rob gives us some helpful opinions and outlooks on the mortgage climate presently and in the coming months. Rob is a preferred mortgage lender for many of our local investors because he speaks our language and understands our goals, so we're very glad to have him back to supplement the last episode where we discussed what a recession could look like.
