Podcasts about Uniqlo

In this episode The Remarkable Retail Podcast's co-host Michael LeBlanc's guest is with Lauren Price, Senior Vice President, E-Commerce & Digital Marketing for COS North America discussing her impressive career trajectory and work positioning the H&M-owned brand for growth in a competitive, fast-moving fashion retail landscape.Lauren's career began in the early days of luxury e-commerce at Createthe Group, building first-generation online stores for high-end brands . Her path included consulting with Demandware and L2 (Scott Galloway's firm), leading to her first in-house brand role at J.Crew before joining COS—a globally recognized fashion brand known for exceptional quality, timeless style, and meticulous craftsmanship.At COS, Lauren oversees North American marketing and digital commerce, a key growth market. She explains how COS benefits from the resources of a global parent company while operating with the agility of a smaller regional business. This unique position allows for strategic experimentation while maintaining the brand's commitment to premium quality.A highlight from the conversation is COS's viral marketing moment: a $45 T-shirt compared on TikTok to a $15 Uniqlo tee, with the influencer praising COS's superior quality and construction. This sparked organic buzz and significant new customer acquisition, prompting Lauren's team to launch a targeted influencer gifting campaign. The lesson: seize authentic, organic momentum quickly and amplify it with campaigns that focus on authenticity, craftsmanship, and product education—especially to win over savvy Gen Z shoppers.Lauren also tackles the emerging challenge of Generative Engine Optimization (GEO), advising brands to prepare product catalogs for AI-driven search while maintaining current SEO performance. She predicts AI search adoption will accelerate faster than previous digital shifts, urging retailers to run both short-term and long-term optimization in parallel.As the discussion turns to holiday planning, Lauren offers several pieces of practical, results-focused advice.

¡Yepa! ¿Cómo va la cosa?Esta semana te traigo una especie de resumen del viaje a Madrid, que ha sido un poco random. Newsletter: ChatGPT 25% - Yo 75%.Audio: 100% yo.Apunte: en el audio explico unas 20 cosas que no aparecen en la newsletter.Resumen rápido del audio:La idea inicial era ir a Madrid, correr por El Retiro, grabar algún podcast tranquilo, etc. Pero resulta que se ha pasado la semana con lluvia, lluvia y más lluvia.El primer día ya intenté grabar el episodio y tuve que parar porque se puso a llover a saco. Al segundo día igual. Y al tercer y cuarto, mientras caminaba, otra vez. En serio, me verías con el paraguas de Uniqlo sujetado como podía y el iPhone con los auriculares colgando… todo muy poco digno.En fin.Este viaje se convirtió oficialmente en “el viaje de las gorras”.Compré en dos tiendas: * Nigra Mercato* La tienda de Las gorras.Estábamos en Chamartín, que no está mal, pero la parada de metro cercana estaba en obras. Así que tocó:* Caminar (mucho)* Taxi / Cabify / Uber (también mucho)Yo quería entrenar en Madrid, correr por el Retiro… pero era imposible con ese frío y esa lluvia. Así que he hecho más de 10.000 pasos cada día, paraguas en mano. Algo es algo.No sé qué pasa en esta ciudad, pero Google Maps va fatal.Me hizo dar dos vueltas absurdas a la misma calle varias veces.Con Apple Mapas… y directo al sitio.Ya me pasó en Düsseldorf.Empiezo a pensar que para caminar Apple Mapas es mucho mejor.O que la lluvia afecta a los satélites, no sé. Pero vaya… muy loco.Lo que cuento en el audio, pero no sale en la newsletter:* Motivo real del viaje* Organización del viaje* El piso sin lavadora* Metro cerrado por obras* Me puse medio malo* Intentos fallidos de grabar* El drama del micrófono y el adaptador* EarPods vs AirPods Pro* Cambiar los pendientes de Sandra* Caminatas infinitas* La odisea del sushi* Tiendas que tengo en Barcelona* El dependiente y la gorra japonesa* El viaje en Ouigo XL* Check-out a las 11h con maletas* ¿Dónde dejo las maletas hasta las 5 de la tarde?* Reflexión: grabar con lo que tengas* La gente del setup caro* Por qué no grabo vídeo* La idea de recuperar la parte premiumEn conclusión, Madrid ha sido un viaje raro, improvisado, medio pasado por agua, pero al final, bastante guay. Estos viajes sin plan a veces son los mejores.Gracias por leerme y por acompañarme en estas movidas que voy contando.Nos leemos (y escuchamos) en la próxima.Jaume. This is a public episode.

La Commissione riconosce all'Italia l'avvio di un percorso virtuoso sui conti, ma registra un rallentamento della crescita, aprendo la questione dell'impatto della Manovra. Gli emendamenti alla legge di bilancio sono circa 5.500, di cui 1.600 della maggioranza. FdI propone la riapertura della sanatoria edilizia del 2003; Forza Italia e Lega chiedono di cancellare l'aumento della cedolare secca al 26% e puntano sulla tassa sull'oro. Si attende il vertice tra Meloni, Salvini, Tajani e Lupi prima del voto sugli emendamenti in Senato. Approfondiamo con Alberto Orioli, editorialista de Il Sole 24 Ore e con Maurizio Lupi, presidente di Noi Moderati e membro della Camera dei deputati.Lo scontro diplomatico Cina-Giappone pesa sul NikkeiLa nuova premier giapponese Sanae Takaichi ha aperto una crisi diplomatica con la Cina definendo un'eventuale offensiva su Taiwan una "minaccia esistenziale", ipotizzando una risposta militare. Pechino ha reagito duramente, riaffermando la futura "riunificazione" e diffondendo messaggi minacciosi. La Cina ha sconsigliato ai cittadini di recarsi in Giappone e inviato navi vicino alle Senkaku/Diaoyu. Intanto l'economia giapponese si è contratta per la prima volta in sei trimestri (-1,8% annualizzato; -0,4% trimestrale), sostenendo il piano della premier per un pacchetto di stimoli oltre 17 trilioni di yen. Le tensioni si sono riflesse sul mercato: forti cali per titoli turistici, retail e cosmetics, compresi Japan Airlines, Ana, Isetan Mitsukoshi, Muji, Uniqlo, Shiseido e Oriental Land. Il Nikkei ha chiuso in lieve flessione (-0,10%), ma un boicottaggio cinese potrebbe pesare per 14,23 miliardi di dollari e ridurre il Pil dello 0,36%. Il commento è di Marco Masciaga, Il Sole 24 Ore New Delhi.Commissione Ue: crescita Eurozona 2025 rivista al rialzo, ma l'Italia resta in difficoltàLa Commissione europea prevede per il 2025 una crescita dell'Eurozona dell'1,3% (contro lo 0,9% di maggio). Per l'Italia, invece, stime riviste al ribasso: +0,4% nel 2025, +0,8% nel 2026, +0,8% nel 2027, con performance tra le più basse dell'area euro. Dombrovskis richiama la necessità di azioni per sbloccare la crescita interna: competitività, semplificazione regolatoria, completamento del mercato unico, innovazione. L'economia europea ha retto meglio del previsto anche all'arrivo di Trump e alla sua strategia commerciale. Per l'Italia il rallentamento del prodotto è attribuito a esportazioni nette negative (-0,7 punti) e fine degli incentivi immobiliari, con consumi frenati dall'incertezza. Sul fronte dei conti, la Commissione certifica un deficit al 3% nel 2025, con volontà del governo di scendere sotto soglia per uscire dalla procedura per disavanzo eccessivo. Parliamone con Alberto Orioli, editorialista de Il Sole 24 OrePer siderurgia ancora contrazione nel 2025, ripresa nel 2026L'evento evidenzia che dopo il rallentamento successivo al "biennio magico" 2021-2022, nel 2024 la siderurgia italiana registra un calo generalizzato: fatturato -9%, valore aggiunto -15%, utili -30%, Ebitda -29%. Le imprese prevedono un'ulteriore contrazione nel 2025: il 53% si attende un calo del fatturato e una riduzione dell'incidenza dell'Ebitda; il 47% un decremento del risultato economico. Le criticità principali restano costi dell'energia, ridotto valore aggiunto dei prodotti, costi di materie prime e semilavorati; sul fronte strategico pesano politiche green Ue, perdita di competitività e concorrenza sleale. Morandi sottolinea che Ebitda sotto pressione e filiera frammentata richiedono consapevolezza dei numeri, visione e coraggio di innovare. Lo studio "Bilanci d'Acciaio 2025" analizza i bilanci 2022-24 di 1.764 imprese e include un sondaggio sulle prospettive 2025. Ne parliamo con Paolo Morandi, amministratore delegato Siderweb, la community dell'acciaio.

Fashion is an art, but it is also big business. And our guest for today H&M Group has proven that the two can coexist at scale. Since opening its first store nearly eight decades ago in 1947, the Swedish fashion giant has evolved to a network of over 4,000 stores across 79 markets, with online sales available in 60 markets. The company prides itself on a simple promise: making great and sustainable designs available to everyone. Fast forward to 2025, and H&M is seeing strong momentum. In September, the firm reported a bigger than expected rise in third-quarter profit. Operating profit from June to August came in at 4.91 billion Swedish crowns (or about US$523 million). That’s up from the 3.51 billion seen a year ago, and well above the 3.68 billion crowns forecasted by analysts in an LSEG poll. The numbers come as CEO Daniel Erver embarked on an overhaul of the brand to improve profitability through trendier collections, tighter cost controls and a refreshed marketing strategy. But even as H&M celebrates its early success, the broader business environment is shifting. US tariffs are weighing on imports to and consumption within the US – the retailer’s second largest market after Germany. So how far would that make Asia a bright spot for growth for H&M, and how does H&M intend to compete with other big name players such as Inditex’s Zara, Fast Retailing’s Uniqlo and even e-commerce first players like Shein and Temu? And perhaps more importantly – which Asian markets hold the greatest promise for the next chapter of H&M’s growth given China’s uneven economic recovery? On Under the Radar, Money Matters’ finance presenter Chua Tian Tian posed these questions to Saed El-Achkar, President H&M East Asia & Greater China.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Jonathan Anderson was appointed as creative director of the French fashion house Dior in March 2025, becoming one of the world's most influential designers. As creative director of the luxury label Loewe for 11 years from 2013, he led a rebranding of the Spanish company, and was hailed a critical and commercial success. He's also run his own label JW Anderson since 2008, and launched collaborative lines with high street brands including Top Shop and Uniqlo. The recipient of many accolades since winning the Emerging Talent prize at the British Fashion Awards in 2012, he was named Designer Of The Year in 2023 and 2024. Jonathan Anderson tells John Wilson about his rural upbringing in Northern Ireland at the height of The Troubles, and the influence of his father, the former Ireland rugby team captain Willie Anderson. He recalls a childhood visit to a textiles factory run by his maternal grandfather that sparked a fascination for printed fabrics. Working as a shop window designer for the luxury label Prada led him to pursue ambitions to become a fashion designer, encouraged by Prada stylist Manuela Pavesi. Jonathan Anderson also reflects on the importance of creative freedom in his industry, claiming that the radical era of fashion, epitomised by designers such as Alexander McQueen and John Galliano, has been replaced by a fear of pushing boundaries due to the risk of social media backlash.Producer: Edwina Pitman

A CMO Confidential Interview with David Aaker, Vice Chair of Prophet, author of numerous marketing books including Aaker on Branding 2nd Edition, formerly a Haas School of Business Professor. David discusses the history of brand equity starting with the BCG model from the 90's and why that model and scanner data drove a short-term sales focus at the expense of brand equity. After years of progress, he believes we are now experiencing "A revival of short-termism." Key topics include: the differences between B2B and B2C brand building; the need for marketers to appreciate that brands aren't built in isolation; and how to break through in a hostile communications environment. Tune in to hear why he believes "There are easy ways for companies to build better brands," and case studies from Dove and Uniqlo. Brand value has been discussed for decades—so why isn't it a universally accepted business principle? In this episode of CMO Confidential, host Mike Linton sits down with branding legend David Aaker, Vice Chair at Prophet, author of 18 books, and widely regarded as the “Father of Modern Branding,” to unpack why the fight for brand equity is far from over.From the origins of brand equity in the 1990s to today's hostile marketing environment, Aaker shares insights on: • Why brand should be treated as a long-term asset, not a short-term tactic • How short-termism and performance marketing are eroding brand value • The difference between B2B and B2C brand management (and why organizational values matter more in B2B) • Examples of brands that have nailed disruptive innovation and purpose-driven branding (Dove, Uniqlo, Habitat for Humanity) • Why most companies are managing brands poorly in today's cluttered, skeptical media environment • How AI could democratize creativity and make professional branding accessible to more companiesPacked with history, frameworks, and practical examples, this conversation will change the way you think about brand value, brand portfolios, and how to make your brand truly indispensable.00:00 – Introduction to CMO Confidential & Guest David Aaker01:15 – Why Brand Value Still Isn't a Universally Accepted Principle03:45 – The Birth of Brand Equity in the 1990s06:10 – Short-Termism, Performance Marketing, and the Brand Erosion Problem08:35 – How to Justify Brand as an Asset (Case Studies & Examples)11:20 – The Visibility Advantage and 14 Dimensions of Brand Value13:05 – Why CFOs and Boards Believe in Other Brands, but Not Their Own15:10 – B2B vs B2C Branding: Key Differences and What Matters Most17:45 – Why Many Companies Are Managing Brands Poorly Today20:00 – Branding in a Hostile Communication Environment22:05 – The Power of Brand Portfolios, Companion Brands, and “Silver Bullet” Brands24:30 – Examples: Uniqlo, HeatTech, and the Westin Heavenly Bed26:10 – Super Bowl Advertising: Breaking Through Clutter and Skepticism28:00 – AI, the Democratization of Creativity, and the Future of Branding29:20 – Final Advice: Your Duty as a Marketer to Build the Brand as an Asset30:15 – Closing Remarks & SubscribeHere's your list fully hashtagged and comma-separated:#cmoconfidential, #DavidAaker, #brandvalue, #brandequity, #brandstrategy, #marketingstrategy, #brandingadvice, #B2Bbranding, #B2Cbranding, #brandmanagement, #shorttermism, #performancemarketing, #purposedrivenbranding, #DoveRealBeauty, #UniqloHeatTech, #HabitatforHumanity, #marketingleadership, #brandportfolio, #brandeddifferentiators, #brandedenergizers, #brandedsourceofcredibility, #hostilemediaenvironment, #disruptiveinnovation, #AIinbranding, #democratizationofcreativity, #CMOpodcast, #marketingpodcastSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Isha Marla is a 14-year-old with a love for science who recently finished her last year at Tumwater Middle School in the Beaverton School District. She is also just one of 10 students in the nation, and the only one from Oregon, who made it to the finalist round of a national science competition sponsored by Discovery Education and 3M, which manufactures a vast array of products, from Post-It Notes to stethoscopes.    The 3M Young Scientist Challenge is open to middle school students who for this year’s competition submitted a short video to describe their scientific solution to a real-world problem. Marla’s entry focuses on using a material she made from seaweed and other ingredients to produce an environmentally sustainable fabric for making clothes. Her proposal aims to counter the phenomenon of fast fashion associated with brands like Shein, H&M and Uniqlo that are popular with consumers eager to buy the latest fashion trends at low prices. But chasing those trends at bargain prices can take a heavy environmental toll, with nearly two-thirds of discarded clothes ending up in a landfill, according to the Environmental Protection Agency.    Marla joins us for more details about her entry and chance to win a cash prize and the title of “America’s Top Young Scientist” this fall.

It is July 7th and this is: Nakashima Nightly. I'm your host, Dan Burkett, bringing you the latest and greatest about ATP superstar Brandon Nakashima. Tonight, we're recapping Wimbledon. Ladies and gentlemen, tennis aficionados and casual Centre Court snackers alike, gather 'round for the tale of Brandon Nakashima's charmingly clinical, statistically stunning, and unexpectedly spicy run at Wimbledon 2025—a performance that left fans grinning, commentators reaching for new adjectives, and opponents...well, mostly reaching for towels.Let's set the scene: it's 2025, the grass is freshly trimmed, the strawberries are overpriced, and Brandon Nakashima strolls into Wimbledon like your calm, unbothered friend who somehow always finds parking. Ranked just outside the top-tier headlines but firmly inside the “don't sleep on him” club, Nakashima arrived with quiet confidence, clean groundstrokes, and a serve so effective it should probably be taxed.Now, about that serve. Forty-nine aces. That's right. Forty-nine. That's not a stat, that's a flex. The man served up more aces than a Las Vegas poker table. And with only 4 double faults? That's practically monk-like discipline. Somewhere, John Isner nodded in solemn approval.Brandon landed 72% of his first serves in—basically turning each service game into a polite but firm announcement: “Hi, I'll be holding serve now.” And when he did? He won 77% of those points. Seventy-seven! At that point, his serve was less a weapon and more a Wimbledon-certified public utility.But let's not ignore his second serve—where many players flirt with disaster, Brandon was dating efficiency. He won 60% of second serve points, which is like saying, “Even on my backup plan, I'm still better than most of your first ideas.”And it wasn't all serve and no spice. Nakashima broke serve 10 times over the fortnight—proving that he wasn't just a one-trick pony. He was also a sly little thief, sneaking return games when opponents least expected it, like a tennis-playing ninja in Uniqlo.Now, while the British crowd loves their big names and royals-in-the-royal-box cameos, by the second week, Centre Court was whispering one name over tea and crumpets: Nakashima. He didn't just win matches—he conducted them, like a symphony of clean technique, calm demeanor, and the occasional “did he just paint the line again?” shot that left everyone in a mild state of disbelief.Opponents described him as “annoyingly consistent,” “robotically precise,” and “way too nice to beat me this badly.” Brandon, ever the gentleman, would simply give a humble nod, pack his bag, and move on like he hadn't just dismantled someone's Wimbledon dream with surgical forehands and a serve that could knock a pigeon off the scoreboard.Did he win the title? Well, not quite. But he went deep. Like, “call the hotel, we're staying another week” deep. And more importantly, he won over fans with his stoic swagger, effortless shot-making, and charmingly understated post-match interviews. Somewhere between the ace count and the unforced error avoidance, Brandon Nakashima became Wimbledon's most polite menace.So as the final grass clippings settled and the applause faded, one thing was clear: Brandon Nakashima didn't just have a run at Wimbledon—he glided. And next year? Well, let's just say...Centre Court better start reserving his spot early.

On le connaît pour son élégance sur les courts, ses revers à une main et ses vingt titres du Grand Chelem. Mais aujourd'hui, Roger Federer s'illustre surtout dans un autre classement : celui des milliardaires. Selon l'indice Bloomberg, repris récemment par BFM, l'ancien numéro un mondial dispose désormais d'une fortune estimée à 1,1 milliard d'euros. Et fait remarquable : il a gagné bien plus en dehors des terrains que raquette en main.Car si ses gains sportifs ne sont pas négligeables – environ 111 millions d'euros cumulés en carrière, pour 103 titres remportés – cela ne représente qu'une petite portion de sa fortune totale. La clé de sa réussite ? Un savant mélange de contrats de sponsoring premium et d'investissements judicieux.Sponsoring de luxeFederer a toujours soigneusement cultivé son image. Sans scandale, sans déclaration controversée, il est devenu une valeur sûre pour les grandes marques. Rolex, Lindt, Mercedes-Benz : des noms qui font rêver, et qui sont restés fidèles bien après sa retraite en 2022. Mais c'est surtout son contrat avec Uniqlo qui marque les esprits : en 2018, il quitte Nike pour signer un contrat de 300 millions de dollars sur dix ans avec la marque japonaise. Une somme colossale, qui montre l'ampleur de son capital-marque.Un coup droit dans la techMais c'est aussi sur le terrain de la finance que Federer a frappé fort. En investissant dans On Holding AG, une marque suisse de chaussures de sport, il a vu son flair récompensé. Il détient 3 % du capital, et cette participation est désormais valorisée à 430 millions d'euros. L'entreprise, introduite en Bourse, affiche une capitalisation de 14,5 milliards d'euros. Ce pari gagnant représente à lui seul une bonne moitié de la fortune du champion.Une fortune à l'image du joueurAujourd'hui, Roger Federer rejoint le cercle très restreint des sportifs milliardaires, aux côtés de Tiger Woods ou Michael Jordan. Mais contrairement à ces figures flamboyantes, Federer incarne la sobriété, la rigueur, la constance. Un profil qui rassure les investisseurs comme les marques, et qui lui a permis de bâtir un empire tranquille, mais solide.Son secret ? Peut-être résumé par cette formule d'un analyste : « Il ne dit jamais de bêtises ». Et dans le monde de la communication et des affaires, cela vaut parfois de l'or. Hébergé par Acast.

Four years ago the broadcaster Naga Munchetty spoke out on air about her own awful experience of getting a coil fitted, and received a huge response from listeners. It led to her talking about her debilitating periods and an eventual diagnosis with adenomyosis aged 47. She's written about this and included the experiences of other women. Naga spoke to Anita Rani to discuss her book ‘It's Probably Nothing'.A wave of female designers have been appointed to some leading high street brands - including Jacqui Markham at Whistles, Maddy Evans at M&S, and Clare Waight Keller, the former Givenchy designer, to Uniqlo. So how much of a difference does it make for consumers that women are at the helm? Nuala McGovern spoke to Jacqui Markham, creative director at Whistles and Catherine Shuttleworth, CEO and founder of Savvy Marketing.A BBC documentary The Sex Detectives: Keeping Kids Safe follows a ground-breaking project in Bristol which engages the help of street sex workers to protect children and young people at risk of sexual exploitation.

A wave of female designers have been appointed to some of the leading high street brands - most recently Jacqui Markham at Whistles, Maddy Evans at M&S earlier this year, and Clare Waight Keller, the former Givenchy designer who joined Uniqlo last year. So how much of a difference does it make for consumers that women are at the helm? Nuala McGovern speaks to Jacqui Markham, who has only just become the creative director at Whistles and Catherine Shuttleworth, retail commentator, CEO and founder of Savvy Marketing.Imagine a medical facility where almost exclusively female patients are kept in a drug-induced slumber for months at a time, woken only to be fed and bathed and given electro-convulsive therapy to erase their memories- sometimes even their identities- all without their consent.  It sounds like the stuff of dystopian sci-fi, but in fact it was a real psychiatric ward in a 1960s NHS hospital, as uncovered in a new book, The Sleep Room: A Very British Medical Scandal. Nuala speaks to the author, Jon Stock, about his investigation and hears from a former patient, Mary Thornton, about her experiences and a consultant psychiatrist, Professor Linda Gask from Manchester University. Daisy Crawford says she was left feeling embarrassed and tearful by the treatment of Easyjet staff who threatened to charge her for an extra bag when she tried to board a flight with a bag containing her breast milk, a breast pump and cool packs as well as her hand luggage. Daisy joins Nuala to explain why she thinks her treatment was discriminatory against breastfeeding mums. Have you ever written or received any love letters? A new performance film, The Extraordinary Miss Flower, was inspired by just that – in fact a suitcase full of them - sent to just one woman. Icelandic-Italian singer/songwriter Emilíana Torrini felt so inspired by the letters that were sent to Miss Geraldine Flower, her friend Zoe's mum, that it led her to get back into the studio to create her first solo record in 10 years as well as an accompanying film. She joins Nuala live in in the studio to talk about both – and to perform live.Presenter: Nuala McGovern Producer: Kirsty Starkey
