We're continuing the protein conversation I started in Are You Getting Enough Protein? (Part One and Part Two). In those episodes, I unpacked why amino acids from plant and animal sources are identical, why the RDA is just a minimum, and why being intentional about protein matters as we level up in age and fitness.Paid subscribers enjoy printable resources and my recipe for Homemade Seitan, so join the club today!In this episode,* I explain why “lean protein” really means plants.* I show why plant protein being “less concentrated” is actually a feature, not a bug.* I share why the protein-to-calorie ratio is such a helpful measurement, especially if your goal is fat loss and muscle gain.* I focus on plant foods that are both protein-rich and practical to eat (spoiler: I'm not eating 5 tablespoons of spirulina a day).* I parse out the 4 categories of protein-rich plant foods:*
Language doesn't simply describe reality—it shapes how we see it, how we feel about it, and whether we act. The words we use around climate aren't neutral: they can spark urgency, create fatigue, or open the door to hope.Research shows that familiar terms like climate change and global warming elicit more urgency and willingness to act than newer, heavier terms like climate crisis or climate emergency.In this episode of Food for Thought, I explore which words inspire, which ones backfire, and how choosing clearer, calmer language can move people toward solutions.(A written version of this episode can be found at colleenpatrickgoudreau.com)
If you haven't listened to Part 1 yet, I encourage you to start there—we covered the basics of protein: what it is, how it functions in the body, why plant and animal amino acids are identical, and why the RDA is just the minimum.In Part 2, I talk about what's shifted for me now that I'm at Level 55 (a language reframe I now love for “aging”), and why I had to “level up” when it came to both strength training and protein intake. Here's what I share:* Why my perspective on protein has deepened—not because I'm vegan, but because I'm 55, post-menopausal, and also highly active* The game-changing role of resistance training (and why lifting heavier is essential as we age)* Why peri- and post-menopausal women—and older men—need more protein to counter muscle loss and support bone health* Practical ways to hit daily targets* The results I've experienced since increasing my protein and lifting heavier
For decades, U.S. dietary guidelines have linked “protein” with animal products. Even as the visuals evolved—from the “Basic Four” to the Food Pyramid to MyPlate—the message stuck: protein means meat.But protein isn't a food group at all. It's a macronutrient made of amino acids—the building blocks your body uses to build muscle, repair tissue, produce enzymes and hormones, and support immune health. And here's the thing: your body doesn't care if those amino acids come from lentils or chicken. They're identical at the molecular level.So why does animal protein still get the reputation for being “better”? And what does the science actually say about how much protein we need—and from what sources?In this episode, I talk about:* How U.S. dietary guidelines shaped our view of protein — and why many still think “protein” means “meat”* How protein functions in the body, what amino acids are, and why plant and animal amino acids are identical* Why the RDA for protein is a minimum, not necessarily optimal, especially as we age or increase activity* What top plant-based nutrition experts recommend for daily protein intake and how it compares to the RDA* How protein needs change with age, activity level, and life stage* Why I've doubled my own protein intake — and the results I've seenWhether you're in your 20s or your 80s, plant-based or not, active or just getting started, understanding protein is key to thriving long-term. And yes, you can do it 100% with plants.
Today on the show, I share my review of "The Baxters," Season 1, Episode 8: "Food for Thought." It's Thanksgiving at the Baxter house, and there is plenty for which to thank God. From Tim and Keri's beautiful reconciliation to the announcement of their new baby daughter, along with the warmth and fun of having the entire family together, this episode will definitely tug at your heartstrings! Throughout the episode, we see Luke and Ashley facing a similar struggle, but they handle it in very different ways, which ultimately drives them apart instead of bringing them closer. Reagan encourages compassion, while Ashley creates an awkward moment for Ryan Taylor. Listen and then take a moment to be thankful that even in chaos, God is faithful!

In this month's episode of the “Red Sky Fuel for Thought” podcast, host Ellen Mallernee, Editorial Director at Havas Red is joined by Redsters Linda Descano, CFA®, EVP and client partner Bianca-Maria Cavuoto to discuss our 2023 Word of the Year: “CHAOS”. Together, they walk through our process of selecting “chaos,” other Words of the Year that have been announced so far (from “AI” to “rizz”) and each of their own personal picks for Word of the Year. As our survey respondents who selected this word wrote, “Chaos encapsulates 2023's tumultuous global events — embodying uncertainty, disruption and the need for collective solutions. It reflects our shared experience and challenges ahead.” One wrote that we have “too many changes without clear objectives,” while another pointed to “global waring factions (Ukraine, Russia, Israel, Gaza), U.S. congress disruption, Trump indictments, the impact of global warming on the global temperatures and weather phenomena.” The opposite of chaos? It's peace. That's our hope for 2024. We hope it's peace that has the last word.

President Joe Biden on Tuesday urged global condemnation of Hamas' “horrific” use of sexual violence against women and girls in Israel during the group's Oct. 7 attack. The president, citing survivor and witness accounts, said Hamas repeatedly raped women and girls during the assault and that their bodies were mutilated while they were still alive. “Hamas terrorists inflicting as much pain and suffering on women and girls as possible and then murdering them. It is appalling,” Biden said during a campaign reception in Boston. “It's on all of us — government, international organizations, civil society and businesses — to forcefully condemn the sexual violence of Hamas terrorists without equivocation. Without equivocation, without exception,” he added *** I'm joined by my guest Kiki May to discuss what the President said, why we think he's bringing attention to this now & WHY we have a problem with it Related article: https://www.politico.com/news/2023/12/05/biden-condemn-sexual-violence-hamas-00130221 Follow KikiMay: TIK TOK: https://www.tiktok.com/@kikimay612 INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/kikimay612/ Follow - Independent Thought: INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/independentthought/?hl=en PATREON: https://www.patreon.com/Independentthought YOUTUBE: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC7ccPtminOAZ-z0Anpq2M_w --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/indethought/support

In this month's episode of the “Red Sky Fuel for Thought” podcast, Ryan Kisiel, partner and head of Sustain at H/Advisors Maitland, joins host Linda Descano, CFA®, EVP, Havas Red, to discuss trends in climate and sustainability disclosures and reporting, and implications for how brands and businesses communicate internally and externally about these topics in 2024. 2023 has marked another year of climate and sustainability in the spotlight. There's been continued — if not increasing — scrutiny on whether brands and businesses are actually following through with their pledges, particularly around climate and net-zero, and whether there are real data and actionable plans behind those pledges. In many countries, the push for mandatory disclosures has gained momentum during this period. Back in July, the European Commission adopted the European Sustainability Reporting Standards (ESRS), standardizing how companies within the European Union report climate change and other ESG-related actions. Meanwhile, in the U.S., where policy on climate disclosures remains in limbo, the state of California has taken matters into its own hands, signing into law the Climate Corporate Data Accountability Act, known as SB-253, which has implications well beyond companies operating in California. "Red Sky Fuel for Thought" is a monthly podcast produced by Havas Red, examining emerging themes relevant to brand communicators and marketers.

Goldstein, who was recently recognized as one of PR Daily's Top Women in Marketing, provides insight into CSAA's viral campaigns featuring musical artists like Rick Astley and iconic '90s boy band members. She also touches on CSAA's proactive approach to supporting initiatives including a California Wildfire Innovation Fund and the climate resiliency challenge the company spearheaded this past summer.

Getting Ahead on Generative AI: Ep. 40 of Red Sky Fuel for Thought Podcast What You'll Learn in This Episode:· How marketers and PR professionals can use generative AI to make our lives easier· Where we should not use generative AI from a legal or ethical perspective· How to strike the balance between being better with AI and being better than AI Now that the dust is settling on the AI maelstrom that's raged for the past few months, our September episode looks at what we've learned about generative AI in particular: the good, the bad and the uncertain. Host Lara Graulich examines how artificial intelligence, or AI, has become a buzzword that elicits many emotions: wonder, excitement, confusion and anxiety, among others. As she says, “One thing is certain: This technology is here to stay, and it's important for us to understand it as marketing and public relations professionals.” To help you make out the full picture of generative AI today, we've divided this episode into two parts. First, Umbar Shakir, a partner and client director at Gate One, gives us a whip-smart introduction to generative AI, what it's capable of and what its limitations are. In part two, we dig into the specific implications that generative AI has in the PR and marketing space. For this roundtable, we're chatting with Rachael Sansom, CEO of Havas Red U.K., and Myrna Van Pelt, head of technology and business for Havas Red Australia. The episode begins with Umbar (pronounced “Amber”), who differentiates traditional AI from generative AI. Traditional AI, she says, is the ability of machines to mimic human intelligence to perform tasks and automate workflows. This is AI as we've known it; it's what's been around for decades, and it's something technology consultants have been implementing for clients for a long time. However, when large language models began arriving over the past five years or so, generative AI stole the spotlight. With generative AI, trillions of bits of crowdsourced data can be used to synthesize new data. Does this new capability represent a threat to human creativity or to job security? No, says Umbar: “As marketers, your whole value add to customers is differentiation and personalization. Even though generative AI can generate content for us, you need the human brain to give the differentiation. And then you need the human heart and emotion. In all the marketing campaigns I've been involved in, an emotive response is really important to memorability. That comes from heart, and a lot of our emotional intelligence comes from our values, beliefs and moral judgments. At the moment, you can't mathematically program that in. What we need to remember is that we've built this tool, and we can interact with it; it might be faster than us, and it might be able to process more data than we can at any point in time, but it doesn't replace our humanity.” Instead, AI can create space for those of us in this industry to get back to our craft and to doing some of the things that drew us here in the first place — to creating human connection, for example — rather than the monotony of data analysis or transcription. Plus, with generative AI, we're going to get richer insights much more quickly than we would on our own. When it comes to humans' job security, Umbar says, “I've got a slightly provocative view on things. When people worry that generative AI will cause people to lose jobs, I say there are some jobs out there that humans should never have been doing. We have taken really tedious work and turned it into careers for people. We've normalized tedium. How do we unshackle ourselves from some of that tedium? How do we then free up capacity to solve for bigger and better problems for society? How do you use this technology to replace what humans have been doing that fundamentally doesn't tap into our humanity or our values or our creativity?” Umbar's segment ends with her answering these questions, before Lara then welcomes Rachael and Myrna to the podcast. She first asks them what excites them most about generative AI and the capabilities it brings to our clients and which tools they've most enjoyed using. “Gen AI cannot create ideas, but what it can do is take great ideas, by humans, and push them faster and further and help iterate them more brilliantly,” says Rachael. In marketing and communications, Myrna says AI also has a distinct role to play in helping us in the area of rapid decision making. “As humans, we have finite ability to scan volumes of information,” she says. “However, AI does this at a fraction of the time. So, for example, when it comes to understanding audience preferences, or demographic nuances, AI can help sort through this massive volume of content, identifying patterns and trends, anticipating future scenarios, and then categorizing the data. We then have an absolute smorgasbord of useful pre-categorized content we can use to inform campaigns, particularly so in industries where a rapid pivot of a campaign might make the difference between success and failure — particularly so in political campaigns.” Among Myrna's go-to AI tools, she highlights Brandwatch, which provides media monitoring and competitor tracking; TLDR, which summarizes high-tech articles; and DeepL Translate, which can accurately translate content in dozens of different languages. Next, they talk about the inherent risks of using AI, including where we should and shouldn't use it from an ethical and legal perspective — e.g., is a press release fair game?

Meaningful Workplace Transformations 101: Ep. 39 of Red Sky Fuel for Thought Podcast What You'll Learn in This Episode:· Trends that have influenced the need for increased focus on the employee experience and meaningful work· What steps an organization can take to maintain the alignment between what they say and what they do· A framework for building trust with employees August's episode digs into the subject of meaningful transformation and why it's increasingly important for organizations today to think about how to connect the values they espouse with what their employees experience day to day. Host Linda Descano, CFA®, EVP, Red Havas, starts by asking Hannah Caldwell, principal of Gate One, a London-based business and digital transformation consultancy within the Havas network, to define what “meaningful transformation” means. A “meaningful transformation” is a business transformation that delivers a step change in the impact and results delivered for the business but that's also meaningful for the individuals involved in that change — it's about making it really matter to employees to ensure that it lasts, says Hannah. Hannah cites the statistic that 70% of large transformation projects fail; she then explains why that's the case: “One of the key reasons why those big transformation projects fail is the human element. Fundamentally, it's not organizations that change; it's people that change — or in some cases, they don't. If people don't believe in the vision that leadership is sharing, if they don't trust leadership, they're not going to adjust to new ways of doing things or make the effort required to create a step change in the way you operate, regardless of how brilliant the strategy and rationale is.” Linda and Hanna's exploration of meaningful transformations dovetails with Havas' new 2023 Global Meaningful Brands™ report, “Welcome to the Me-conomy.” The report, which serves as a playbook for how brands can be meaningful in people's lives, was the subject of our May podcast episode. Says Hannah, “A lot of companies are increasingly aware of the need to connect meaningfully with their customers on issues they care about, such as sustainability and supporting Pride, but this has focused more on attracting customers. We're now also seeing a complementary desire to focus on the internal side: what employees experience and the internal culture as a measure of whether organizations are authentically living the values they say they stand for.” So what trends are influencing the increased focus on the employee experience and meaningful work? Three things stand out, says Hannah. First, post-pandemic employees are rethinking the meaning of work and priorities and seeking purpose from work (contributing to the great resignation). And generationally speaking, Gen Z is a purpose-driven generation. Their desire to know how their individual contributions help support the organization's mission differentiates them. Finally, information travels so quickly in the digital age, and social media means many more voices are heard.Linda then asks what steps organizations can take to maintain the alignment between what they say and what they do. What's most critical, says Hannah, is for organizations to listen and understand — without an ego — what people are experiencing within your organization. She also advises bringing together those teams that traditionally only managed elements of external or internal communications so that both have a full view. And if you're building an external campaign on a topical issue such as ESG or DE&I, Hannah says there are a lot of ways to involve employees in those campaigns. When organizations neglect their corporate culture, the repercussions can be enormous. Hannah cites research from MIT that found that toxic corporate culture is 10 times as likely to lead to attrition as poor compensation, whereas positive company cultures are more likely to attract top talent and see 33% higher revenues.The conversation closes with a discussion of practical steps that marketers and communicators can take to drive a positive culture within their teams and the businesses they support. Look and listen for tangible examples of how employees describe your culture and values, says Hannah. “Believe it or not, there's a mathematical equation for building trust!” She tells us of Charles H. Green's Trust Equation, which details four components that affect trust. Three of them increase a person's trustworthiness: credibility, reliability and intimacy. The fourth one, self-interest, reduces a person's trustworthiness. “If people believe that you're doing these things because you have an ulterior motive, or it's part of a corporate initiative and you're just trying to tick a box, they're all undermined by that,” says Hannah. “So it's really important that you balance that carefully. In an organizational context, there will always be some elements of self-interest because of strategic decisions that need to be made, or economic imperatives, but it's very important that people see that you're very thoughtfully balancing your values with those challenges, and they don't just get pushed to one side when times are tough.” Give “Red Sky Fuel for Thought” a listen, and subscribe to the show on iTunes, Spotify or your favorite podcasting app. Don't forget to rate and review to help more people find us!Also mentioned on this episode:· What It Takes to Be a Meaningful Brand in the Me-Conomy: Ep. 37 of “Red Sky Fuel for Thought” podcast· Meaningful Brands 2023 report· Analyzing the Changing Workforce of Young, Highly Engaged Employees: JUV Consulting · Putting Purpose to Work: PwC· Why transformations fail: A conversation with Seth Goldstrom· Help your employees find purpose—or watch them leave: McKinsey & Company· Employees Seek Personal Value and Purpose at Work: Gartner· Gen Z study: EY· The Trust Equation Follow Red Havas for a daily dose of comms news:· Twitter· Facebook· Instagram· LinkedIn Subscribe:Don't forget to subscribe to the show using your favorite podcasting app.· iTunes· Spotify What did you love?

I am a guest on a lot of podcasts and I'm not always inspired to share those conversations here. But this conversation with Razmik Sargsyan for his podcast Brand New Thought felt like one that I wanted more people to hear. Part “the basics” and part pushing the edge, we covered a lot of ground.

What You'll Learn in This Episode:Why influencer marketing, ESG and misinformation were the hot topics at this year's Meltwater SummitWhat differentiates companies that succeed in the short term from those that succeed in the longterm This episode is part of our Behind the Brand series, which pulls back the curtain on an iconic brand to focus on the people shaping that brand's communications and marketing strategy. We launched this series in April 2023, with Gráinne O'Brien, senior director of corporate affairs for Kellogg Europe. This month, host Linda Descano welcomes Dino Delic back to the pod (he previously chatted with us in December 2020 about our Word of the Year). Dino has been with Meltwater since 2009, having grown with the company through four promotions and roles in Melbourne, New York, Chicago and now Los Angeles. Now with 27,000 global customers in 50 offices across six continents, and 2,300 employees, Meltwater empowers companies with a suite of solutions that spans media, social, consumer and sales intelligence. Linda kicks off her conversation with Dino by asking him to describe his role at Meltwater, to which he replies, “My job is to help our team help our clients connect the dots as much as possible with all the external data that we collect. What we're really helping companies do is collect information outside of their four walls, make sense of it and make more informed decisions so they can better understand where they're spending money wisely and not spending money.” Dino says he landed in the external intelligence field many years ago, by accident. “I studied marketing, but I got my first sales job at the age of 18; I was just hooked on interacting with people. It turns out, if you like problem solving, sales is a pretty good profession. But I didn't stick around in a sales career for over two decades now because I love sales. It was just through pure luck that I landed on a company that has such an interesting data set.” The company also has an immense following, having recently attracted more than 800 attendees and more than 50 speakers, including Bethenny Frankel and Trevor Noah, to the Meltwater Summit in New York. At the Summit, Meltwater introduced two new AI Assistants, leveraging the latest technology in generative AI (learn more through the link in our show notes). The first is a PR Assistant which helps PR professionals draft press releases and personalize pitches to journalists in record time. The second is the AI Writing Assistant, powered by the ChatGPT API, which drafts highly engaging social content, saving teams time and increasing social engagement at scale. Dino says, “There's a lot of interest in AI, especially because of how excited people are that automation can save time, but I'm kind of sick of the conversation going into fear mongering about AI. Especially in professions in strategy, customer service, sales, brand marketing, PR and comms, the biggest gripe for everybody is that they're so busy, that they don't have time to do their job because they have to do a lot of manual work. There are so many things that people just pull their hair out about. That's what I'm excited about — is that AI can eliminate all those menial tasks. That shouldn't be replacing jobs. That I think is just hype and hyperbole.” Linda and Dino also talk about what defines a successful company today and how data can be used to ensure not only longevity but collaboration between departments. “The companies that do better, versus the ones struggling with business, are the ones that have a nice, central unifying mission and set of values, and everybody contributes to those goals,” says Dino. “The companies that do well, but only for a short period of time, are the ones that have a really strong marketing discipline or function, but it doesn't last because they don't work all well together.” He points to use cases highlighted at the Summit, whereby PR and sales teams are working together, using Meltwater's media monitoring tools to track competitors or key accounts and ultimately inform customer service and sales. “The holy grail for PR is to be able to say, ‘We ran a campaign and generated this much business,'” says Dino. “That's next to impossible because that's not how people make purchasing decisions. But a good PR campaign changes user behavior. What keeps me employed and excited is realizing that, especially in PR and comms, people don't often connect the dots between what they're doing and what their company is doing. They're just looking to measure their own performance. With the benefit of data, and the tools that we have, you can really inform strategy, but you can also inform other departments.” The most popular track at this year's Meltwater Summit was the influence track, says Dino, explaining they couldn't put enough chairs in the room. “What was interesting is when I looked around at all the name tags, and all the disciplines that were in that room, it wasn't just marketing or PR,” he says. “Influencer marketing is becoming such an interesting space, because it's at the confluence of a really good earned campaign, backed by an influencer campaign, and then also a paid strategy. It's customer acquisition, it's building trust, it's creating awareness.” The Summit's second most-talked about topic: ESG and how consumers crave authenticity and desire tangible actions from brands. This is particularly relevant in influencer marketing, where consumers seek a genuine connection with influencers and desire behind-the-scenes content. Dino emphasizes that it's not enough for brands to make promises, such as electrifying their fleet or implementing sustainable practices. Consumers want to know how these promises will be fulfilled and desire influencers who genuinely share their passion for the brand. They want to see influencers who can take them behind the scenes and provide an authentic look at the brand's actions and values. Linda closes by asking Dino a few rapid-fire questions, including what his superpower is, what's the best career advice he's ever received and if he lives by any particular motto or mantra.

What It Takes to Be a Meaningful Brand in the Me-Conomy: Ep. 37 of Red Sky Fuel for Thought Podcast What You'll Learn in This Episode: What the “Me-conomy” is and how it's driving the creation of new services, products and purpose narratives How cultural and societal forces are changing what it means for a brand to be meaningful today Key considerations for brands that want to make meaningful connections This episode of the Red Sky Fuel for Thought podcast examines findings from Havas' new 2023 Global Meaningful Brands™ report, “Welcome to the Me-conomy.” The report, which serves as a playbook for how brands can be meaningful in people's lives, examines the cultural and societal forces changing what it means to be a Meaningful Brand™ today. In the first phase of the research, Havas partnered with leading pollster YouGov to survey more than 91,000 people across 10 markets, generating 782,000+ data points across 1,300 global brands and 42 categories. Linda Descano, CFA®, and Red Havas EVP, moderates the roundtable discussing the report with its co-creators, Seema Patel, global managing director of Mx Intelligence, Havas Media Global, and Mark Sinnock, global chief strategy officer, Havas Creative Network. As Seema tells us, Havas has measured Meaningful Brands™ annually since 2009. Now, nearly 15 years into this landmark proprietary study, it continues to be a vital sense check about people's aspirations, guardrails and expectations of brands. The methodology examines a brand's impact and equity based on consumers' perceptions and expectations across three key pillars — its personal, functional and collective benefits (listed across 40+ dimensions and attributes). The most Meaningful Brands™ are the ones performing well on all three metrics. “[The report] explores the strength of a brand's role and how it translates to business performance through our proprietary metric, the Meaningful Brand Index,” says Seema. “It identifies how brands can meaningfully engage with or through media, customer and brand experiences. It also really helps to identify the deficit or gap between what consumers' expectations are versus a brand's delivery.” As compared to years previous, Seema says the report signaled an energetic shift from a doom-and-gloom mentality (the last report was called “The Age of Cynicism”) to more positivity and resilience. “People want to engage with brands that are optimistic, that bring them joy, that support their health and wellbeing, and that at the end of the day, make their lives simpler and easier,” says Seema, who explains that the expanding definition of purpose is leading people to expect brands to provide more tangible benefits in their day-to-day life. That's where the Me-conomy comes in. People are now acutely aware that we're living amid global crises affecting nearly every aspect of our lives — environmental, economic, political, societal and health crises. All are carrying a huge threat to our ability to survive and thrive. Consequently, people are having to adapt and change, and with that, what they require from brands is changing too. With 54% of those surveyed saying they're optimistic about the future, despite experiencing crisis in their lives, the time is right for brands to turn their more austere pandemic-era purpose conversations into optimistic narratives that are focused on enabling citizens to do good, says Mark. “People want brands to help them feel more energized and alive. They want to feel good about themselves. [The report has] a strong theme around how brands can help people generate greater well-being.” After citing the finding that 71% of people feel that companies and brands should be improving and supporting their personal health and wellbeing, Mark says, “That could be a really powerful opportunity for brands moving forward — people want to continue to experience and feel more. They want new ideas about connecting in new ways, building self-confidence and feeling good.” What else should brand marketers and communicators be considering? Mark asserts that that are two types of purpose now — a business purpose and a brand purpose. Mark says sophisticated consumers expect a business' purpose to be about doing good in terms of how they treat their employees and deliver on ESG pledges, while they expect a brand's purpose to be about making consumers' lives easier and better. Mark says brands need to get back to basics by entertaining, pleasing, empowering and driving citizens' well-being. When it comes to the connection between the meaningfulness score of a brand and its financial performance, Seema says top-rated Meaningful Brands™ aren't just good for the world, but also have stronger bottom lines. In fact, they outperform the stock market by 222%, which is consistent across years. Linda then asks Seema to highlight two or three of the top meaningful brands on the index. She points to “those daily brands that people utilize on a day-to-day basis,” naming WhatsApp, Amazon and Amazon Prime as brands that performed well across all three of the Meaningful Brands pillars. “I found it interesting that high-end car brands — BMW, Porsche — brands that are very much associated with carbon offset performed really well this year,” says Seema. “So did a lot of utility brands, such as Vanish and Lysol. Daily usage of a brand's products very tangibly makes a difference in people's lives.” Overall, the top Meaningful Brands™ in 2023 deliver on the “me” as well as the wider world issues. Linda closes the episode by summarizing what stood out to her from their conversation. “To me, it comes back to brands being very consistent with what they say and what they do. Your products and services have to deliver; they also have to be relevant and enable me to be my best self, make my life better and easier, help me achieve my goals and do right in my community. Because if my community is thriving, I'm also thriving.” Give “Red Sky Fuel for Thought” a listen, and subscribe to the show on iTunes, Spotify or your favorite podcasting app. Don't forget to rate and review to help more people find us!
Behind the Kellogg's Brand with Gráinne O'Brien: Ep. 36 of Red Sky Fuel for Thought Podcast What You'll Learn in This Episode:· How an in-house brand team can get the best work from their agency partners· Insights on communicating effectively through splits, spins and other catalysts of change within a business· How to listen to the voice of the employee through employee resource groups In our annual predictions report, we said 2023 is the year in which Behind the Brand will become a staple theme in every content marketing strategy. We're certainly making it a theme of our own strategy because we've used episode 36 as an opportunity to roll out a new series called Behind the Brand. Rather than bring in several voices to weigh in on a topic (our normal format), we're pulling the curtain back on an iconic brand — Red Havas client Kellogg's — with a one-on-one interview with Gráinne O'Brien. She currently serves as senior director of corporate affairs for Kellogg Europe and in July will take on a new role as VP, corporate reputation and KNA Communications for Kellogg's. Kellogg's recently announced it will soon become two companies as a result of a company spin off. Kellanova will serve as its global snacking powerhouse, with a leading presence in international cereal and noodles, plant-based foods and North America frozen breakfast, while WK Kellogg Co, will become its North American food company. Nancy Anderson, our VP of social and content, kicks this episode off with a quick chat with Linda Descano, CFA® and EVP, who then embarks on a far-ranging one-on-one interview with Gráinne, starting with a recap of her career journey to date. Born in Northern Ireland, Gráinne tells how she grew up in Sligo. Her father was involved in the country's early civil rights movement with people like John Hume and Seamus Mallon, and her brother was a journalist, sparking her interest in current affairs and politics. She attended University of Ulster in Coleraine, where she studied media studies and history, before taking on post graduate work in journalism in the University College, Galway, under some of the finest journalist and writers in Ireland at the time. Post-college she got her first job with a local radio station and worked for three years covering everything from court cases to local council meetings to agricultural shows. She then migrated out of journalism into PR, when she became a press officer for the young farmers' lobby in Ireland. From there, she made her way into the agency world, working primarily for food and agri clients. In 2015, Gráinne joined Kellogg's Europe in Dublin to set up a regional comms function, before going on to head up its corporate affairs in 2019. As Gráinne tells it, “When I initially joined Kellogg's, I joined to lead the external comms work that we were doing across Europe. That was really about trying to identify the right stories to tell around our brands, across various different markets, and it was about trying to build a team that could do that. At the time, we were quite siloed, and we had various different reporting lines. That was one of the things I tried to fix first — that we were one team reporting into the function together so that we didn't have mixed priorities. Then I sort of created a vision for the team, which was having a best-in-class, agency-style in-house team. That rally cry unified us all.” Linda then asks Gráinne what in-house teams can do to get the best work out of their agency partners. As Gráinne sees it, “PR for the sake of doing PR is very old school thinking. It's so hard to cut through now, [so] you really want to work with agencies, partners, who help you be authentic and help you create the content and stories that will connect your brand or your company to consumers.” When working with these external partners, in-house teams have to be really clear about what they want to achieve, says Gráinne. And they need to understand whether or not they have a track record in certain spaces that qualifies them to tell those stories. She cites two examples from Kellogg's, about how it earned the right to speak on matters of food poverty and men's mental health. “We've invested a lot in measurement in my time in the role,” says Gráinne. “That's really helped inform the types of stories we tell and how we tell them. And it's had an impact across leadership because the more you can demonstrate your improved reach or your improved impact, the more you can argue for funds to execute, and the business takes notice.” When Linda brings up the three P's — the pandemic, polarizing politics and protest around social inequity — the two get to talking about brand purpose and how Kellogg's determines what to focus on and when to act. “Our brands are world famous,” says Gráinne. “They have long histories, and whoever is a particular brand manager at a given time is only a custodian of the brand. So, we did put a process in place. We ask ourselves a set of questions, whether we think a partnership will be deemed low risk or high risk. And if the proposal or the idea is deemed high risk, we go through a process to challenge ourselves around, ‘Do we have a track record in this space? And does it make sense for the brand? Would it make sense to consumers?' We want to avoid accusations such as greenwashing. So we have quite often referred to partners or taken external advice, or indeed [we] talk to our own employee resource groups around their thoughts. So that's the process we've put in place, and it's worked very effectively.” The two wind the episode down with talk of Kellogg's historic split into two businesses — a time Gráinne calls “phenomenally exciting,” explaining how they ushered employees through the changes. “There has been a regular cadence of comms, have been town halls, have been surveys,” she says. “And the company has been very open and honest throughout the process. Even when we didn't have a lot of news, we engaged. And I think that has brought people through the change. I think people are optimistic for the future, and I think it's been a masterclass in how to do it.” Linda closes by asking Gráinne a few rapid-fire questions, including what her superpower is, to which she replies, “I don't think I have a superpower to be honest. What I would say is, I'm always authentic. I think it's great to work with people you like and to be kind. Even if it's a demanding, high-paced environment, I try to be authentic. I try and meet people where they are and understand what's going on in their personal lives, and at the same time deliver for the business.” Give “Red Sky Fuel for Thought” a listen, and subscribe to the show on iTunes, Spotify or your favorite podcasting app. Don't forget to rate and review to help more people find us!Also mentioned on this episode:· Kellogg's support for school breakfast clubs· Kellogg's Reaches Gender Parity Target, Three Years Ahead of 2025 Goal· Kellogg's food hunger research · Follow Red Havas for a daily dose of comms news:· Twitter· Facebook· Instagram· LinkedIn Subscribe:Don't forget to subscribe to the show using your favorite podcasting app.· iTunes· Spotify What did you love?

Is the Future of Marketing Earned? Episode 35 of Red Sky Fuel for Thought podcast What You'll Learn in This Episode:o The difference between paid, owned, and earned mediao Why earned media is more essential than ever beforeo How to capture the attention of journalists in the current ‘news you can choose' environmento Advice for brand marketers looking to master the art of earned mediaIn this month's episode, we focus on the sometimes-elusive form of media known as earned. This was the crux of a recent Adweek article, which argues that earned media is the best tool in the marketing playbook due to its ability to appeal to consumers who are wary of ads. (82% of consumers aged 18-24 use some kind of method to avoid seeing ads – and we're finding that clients, too, are wary of spending big money on ads.)We also dug into this topic in our recent News You Can Choose white paper, where we explored three major trends shaping the news environment today. These include the sheer volume of content that people now must filter through, consumers' deepening distrust and apathy toward the news media, and the changing business of news as it becomes more difficult to capture the attention of journalists.However, only about 11% of U.S. marketing budgets are now allotted toward earned, according to a CMO Study. So, what do we make of this?To answer all these questions and more, moderator Linda Descano, CFA® brings in three of our most savvy news pitchers and news makers at Red Havas— Jodi Einhorn, Neil Johnson, and Bianca-Maria Cavuto – to discuss all things earned media.To kick off the conversation, Neil Johnson, Head of Media & Publicity at Red Havas in London, helps to define owned, paid, and earned media.“Owned media is content that the brand itself owns, such as a website, logo, or email newsletter, whereas paid is content that a brand pays for but does not own, such as a TV commercial, paid search results, or a sponsored advertorial,” explains Neil. “Earned media is content that a brand neither owns or pays for, such as an organic newspaper article, a user review, or a comment on social media.”Next up: the growing importance of earned media.“As the merits of ‘earned' media imply, we have to go out and convince media to write about a timely topic at hand,” says New York-based Jodi Einhorn, SVP, Media Relations at Red Havas. “The pros are that it has tremendous reach and opportunity to influence; the cons are that you have less control over the messaging. So, when you pay for coverage or post owned content, there is a bit more of an opportunity to own the messaging. Each has their own purpose, and one is not more versatile than the other.” “There's only so much control you can have with earned media, but there are things you can do to make sure brands are getting a desired outcome.” says Bianca-Maria Cavuoto, Associate Director at Red Havas, based in Manchester, U.K. “Agency partners must manage their expectations and establish clear communication and be upfront about what it is they want to get out of a campaign. Life moves fast, media moves fast, and relevancy moves even quicker.”“We in earned media are storytellers,” says Neil. “With ad spending being cut and shrinking across the board, earned is a trusted bet more than ever before.”Jodi then walks through what it takes to earn the attention of journalists in the current media climate: “Building meaningful connections with journalists starts with understanding what topics will grab their attention. It requires you to listen to what is happening around you. Once you've done your homework and listened to an established connection to inform your strategy, you can start to build out tidbits of news that will tell a compelling story for your audience.”Next, Neil explains how earned media comes with a ‘sheen of credibility': “Authenticity and credibility matter more than ever for brands. Unlike paid or owned media, earned goes through a vetting process, needing endorsement and approval by the journalist, content creator, or influencer you're working with. Ultimately, word of mouth is what we earn through these activations, which is a powerful tool.”Our guests then discuss the notion that we must treat consumers ‘like participants, not targets.'“The consumer is always right,” says Bianca. “When a campaign falls flat, you must learn from it and go back to the drawing board to understand why the intended impact wasn't achieved. Then, you have to take those learnings and reshape your future campaigns and the way that you communicate based on what the consumer wants. There is always a requirement to deliver something that resonates with them.”“When it comes to earned media, media is the channel used to reach the end consumer, as opposed to an owned channel where we're going directly to the audience” says Jodi. “Earned has the added layer of convincing the media to share something that is of note to the consumer. While the playing field is a bit different, the end goal remains the same.”Another key element to earned media is making sure a story is relevant on a local level across global markets. Jodi explains, “We operate on a global platform, and many of our companies are global businesses trying to reach new markets. Tapping into the expertise of relevant regional teams is one of the most critical assets to ensure we can jump on trends and create a narrative that will resonate with local markets around the world and not just here in the US.”To round out our discussion, each of our guests provides one piece of advice for brand marketers and communicators who are rethinking their marketing mix and want to master the art of earned.“Your agency partner needs to be well informed and well connected and needs to be coming to you with some key insights and journalists with an understanding of the news agenda,” says Neil. “Every day is a news day, so every day is a school day.”“Even though it's only getting a small portion of budget, earned should be in consideration from the moment you start to plan and develop an idea for a campaign,” says Bianca. “You have to bring in an agency and your PR specialists to make sure that the campaign is fit for purpose across all the channels, including earned.”“As we think about external communications at a global level, mass media in regions across the globe, in markets big and small, play a key role in the interconnectedness of the world,” concludes Jodi. “To facilitate the cultural exchange of information, brand visibility, and positioning between countries, earned media, international news, and regional publications that capture the nuances of certain regions are critical in not only creating a strategy for brand communications through earned media, but enabling us to tell the story at a local relevant level.”Give “Red Sky Fuel for Thought” a listen, and subscribe to the show on iTunes, Spotify or your favorite podcasting app. Don't forget to rate and review to help more people find us!Also mentioned on this episode:· Red Havas: News You Can Choose White Paper· AdWeek: The Future of Marketing is Earned· Patagonia's “Don't Buy This Jacket” environmental campaign· Wimbledon 2022 nail art campaign (Red Havas client) Follow Red Havas for a daily dose of comms news:· Twitter· Facebook· Instagram· LinkedIn Subscribe:Don't forget to subscribe to the show using your favorite podcasting app.· iTunes· Spotify What did you love?

2023 SOCIAL PREDICTIONS: Episode 34 of Red Sky Fuel for Thought podcast What You'll Learn in This Episode:o What's the current state of the social landscape?o Which brands are doing social the right way?o What is most in-demand for brands on social?o What should brand marketers be thinking about in 2023?The world of social media is constantly changing and keeping us on our toes, from year to year and month to month. That means our expertise in social is only as good as our ability to change with the platforms. To that end, Redsters stay obsessively up to date on what's happening and how we can make the most of it for our clients. Our Red Sky Predictions report, which we put out at the top of each year, is one of the ways we demonstrate our evolving expertise in social. In it, we cast several predictions focused on social media, along with guidance about how to best manage the changes ahead. In this episode of our Red Sky Fuel for Thought podcast, host Nancy Anderson brings in two of our global experts on the topic — Redsters Davitha (“Davs”) Tiller and Stuart Hood – to talk about what we can expect for social media in 2023.To start off the conversation, Davs, our EVP of social and integration, gives her overview of what she's seeing happen with social right now.“Over the last year, the social landscape has undergone big and unexpected changes,” says Davs. “From Meta to Twitter, we've seen a major shift away from the ‘go-to' platforms for marketers, with newcomers such as TikTok poised to step in and take over some of that space. And with that, we've seen some exciting changes in behavior and trends.” Stuart Hood, executive director of social and content at Red Havas AU, then chimes in about the growing popularity of TikTok and Instagram for news consumption, referencing our Meaningful Brands study. “People are still looking for entertainment and inspiration on social, but they want to be entertained in many different ways,” says Stuart. “We've found that almost half of all content provided by brands is not meaningful to consumers, and help content is the most desired category from brands today. So, whereas content that rewards or inspires is the most expected, people are really wanting to see that help content which the news agenda is pushing for consumers.” Next, Davs walks through our “Behind the Brand (BTB)” prediction. “Following the pandemic, people-focused storytelling has become a staple in social strategies for brands,” she says. “This trend started with executive visibility and bringing in the CEO perspective but has since expanded to bringing in voices from people on all levels of the organization who are usually behind the scenes. The social landscape has become incredibly competitive, so offering an authentic perspective of what goes on in your business can help to differentiate yourself and break through the noise as a company and as a brand.” The conversation then shifts to brands that are getting it right on social. Stuart lists the following as best-practice brands that take users on a journey of what it's like to be part of them:· The Daily Aus· Lurpak Butter· Red Bull Racing· Bailey Nelson Davs adds to the list with brands she thinks are doing social the right way:· Delta Airlines· IBM· Trader Joe's Next, both of our guests discuss what's most in-demand from their clients regarding their social channels. “Brands are finally starting to look at paid social as part of their always-on organic strategy,” says Stuart. “Many social channels don't provide very good organic reach anymore, so it's been a bit of a battle to convince clients that while great creative is important, you also need to spend some money to ensure that people are seeing your content. But we're seeing a big shift in how brands are becoming more educated in how paid efforts can boost their organic performance and amplify their brand storytelling.” “We are getting an incredible amount of demand for social listening and social intelligence to look at what audiences are talking about, what they're looking for, what they're missing, and then proactively plugging those gaps through content,” says Davs. “We're starting to use social listening in a much more sophisticated way to look at brand reputation, not just on the social side, but holistically from an earned social, paid influencer perspective as well.” “In the last few months, we've had about five different briefs from separate clients come through asking us to develop a social listening strategy,” says Stuart. “Some clients want to understand what people are talking about from a brand point of view and what their competitors are doing, and other clients are asking for a monitoring service to understand what's happening daily. Overall, brands are really starting to tune into what people are saying about them, and they're using data and insights from social listening to help feed into their content strategy.” To close out our discussion, Davs provides advice for brand marketers and communicators on social: “Having a full understanding of the versatility of social is more important than ever. There is nothing across the marketing funnel that social cannot accomplish, whether it's driving awareness, consideration, conversion, advocacy or customer service; it really spans the gamut. Social is a complex channel, so it is vital to invest in specialism. There's more about it to know than ever before, but there's also a lot that can go wrong. If you're a brand that doesn't have an internal point of contact or agency partner that is versed in all things social and can advise how to activate on the latest changes, then now is the time to get amongst it.” Give “Red Sky Fuel for Thought” a listen, and subscribe to the show on iTunes, Spotify or your favorite podcasting app. Don't forget to rate and review to help more people find us!Also mentioned on this episode:· Red Sky Predictions 2023 report· Red Havas Meaningful Brands Study· The Daily Aus· Lurpak Butter· Red Bull Racing· Bailey Nelson· Delta Airlines· IBM· Trader Joe's Follow Red Havas for a daily dose of comms news:· Twitter· Facebook· Instagram· LinkedIn Subscribe:Don't forget to subscribe to the show using your favorite podcasting app.· iTunes· Spotify What did you love?
