Podcasts about Salient

Jane Ostler, Chief Insights Officer at Kantar, joins V and Marc to discuss 20 years of BrandZ data and what it reveals about brand growth. We explore the Meaningful, Different, Salient framework, why relative difference beats absolute uniqueness, and how marketers can separate strategic principles from tactical noise. Jane explains how small brands can compete without massive budgets, why trends shouldn't replace strategy, and how AI risks creating a "sea of sameness." From the Blueprint for Brand Growth to 2026 marketing trends, this conversation challenges conventional thinking about differentiation and brand building.Speaker BioJane Ostler is Chief Insights Officer at Kantar, where she leads the global BrandZ study, now in its 20th edition. She was a lead author of the Blueprint for Brand Growth, a comprehensive analysis based on billions of data points that established the Meaningful, Different, Salient (MDS) framework. Jane oversees Kantar's research into brand equity, marketing effectiveness, and consumer behaviour, producing reports including Marketing Trends 2026, Media Reactions, and Outstanding Innovation. Her work proves that strong brands consistently outperform stock market indices and that brand equity has measurable financial value.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for August 20, 2025 is: salient • SAIL-yunt • adjective Something described as salient is very important or noticeable. // The assignment was to write down the most salient points made in the article. // One salient feature of the band's music is the variety of different genres it incorporates into a singular sound. See the entry > Examples: "All actors use their bodies, but [Zoe] Saldaña has long been on another plane. She doesn't just interpret characters, she moves through them with such salient physicality that her body often has as much to say as the dialogue she speaks." — Gia Kourlas, The New York Times, 28 Feb. 2025 Did you know? When salient first hopped into English, it described things—animals especially—that move by jumping, springing, or leaping. Small wonder, then, that the word comes from the Latin verb salire, meaning "to leap." (Polyglots may also recognize the influence of salire on the Spanish verb salir, meaning "to leave," and the French verb saillir, meaning "to jut out.") Today, salient is usually used to describe things that "leap out" in a figurative sense, such as the salient features of a painting or the salient points made in an essay or argument.

UKRAINE ARMOR BRIGADES IN THE KURSK SALIENT RESEMBLE THE SHERWOOD RANGERS WAR-FIGHTING, 1944-45: 4/8: Brothers in Arms: One Legendary Tank Regiment's Bloody War from D-Day to VE-Day, by James Holland https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08YS123SZ/ref=dbs_a_def_rwt_hsch_vapi_tkin_p1_i0 In the annals of World War II, certain groups of soldiers stand out, and among the most notable were the Sherwood Rangers. Originally a cavalry unit in the last days of horses in combat, whose officers were landed gentry leading men who largely worked for them, they were switched to the “mechanized cavalry” of tanks in 1942. Winning acclaim in the North African campaign, the Sherwood Rangers then spearheaded one of the D-Day landings in Normandy on June 6, 1944; led the way across France; were the first British troops to cross into Germany, and contributed mightily to Germany's surrender in May 1945. Inspired by Stephen Ambrose's Band of Brothers, the acclaimed WWII historian James Holland memorably profiles an extraordinary group of citizen soldiers constantly in harm's way. Their casualties were horrific, but their ranks immediately refilled. Informed by never-before-seen documents, letters, photographs, and other artifacts from Sherwood Rangers' families—an ongoing fraternity—and by his own deep knowledge of the war, Holland offers a uniquely intimate portrait of the war at ground level, introducing heretofore unknowns such as the Commanding Officer Stanley Christopherson, the squadron commander John Semken, Sergeant George Dring, and other memorable characters who helped the regiment become the single unit with the most battle honors of any ever in the British army. He weaves the Sherwood Rangers' exploits into the larger narrative and strategy of the war, and also brings fresh analysis to the tactics used. Following the Sherwood Rangers' brutal journey over the dramatic eleven months between D-Day and V-E Day, Holland presents a vivid and original perspective on the endgame of WWII in Europe. .1943 SOVIETS KYIV OFFENSIVE
