Health & Hygiene Post-COVID-19: Ep. 12 of Red Sky Fuel for Thought Podcast

What You'll Learn in This Episode: · Why reactions to the COVID-19 vaccine vary so widely from country to country · The implications of the pandemic on the future of health, the medical community and brands · What consumers expect of brands post-pandemic and how brands can accommodate those expectations How is it that the COVID-19 vaccine, in the midst of its historic global rollout, is being met with such a staggering range of reactions? Marianne Hurstel, chief strategy officer for BETC Paris, tackles this topic in a roundtable segment with podcast host Linda Descano, CFA®, EVP of corporate communications and executive visibility at Red Havas. Marianne co-authored Havas Group's new Prosumer Report, “Health and Hygiene in the Post-COVID-19 Era,” which springs from a massive study of Prosumers that Havas fielded at the beginning of 2021, drawing on reactions to the current global health crisis from more than 15,000 participants across 31 markets. The report tracks variances in attitudes to the vaccine by country and culture and analyzes what the aftermath of the pandemic can be expected to mean for healthcare, the medical community, and brands. What are Prosumers? Havas identifies them as the leading-edge 15-20% of consumers, usually 6-18 months ahead of the mainstream, forward thinking, influential, proactive and socially and/or environmentally conscious. Often the best indicator of what's to come for brands and businesses around the world, Prosumers are certainly worth paying attention to. As Linda and Marianne explore together, trust in science, scientists, and government authorities has become a critical component of mitigation efforts in the age of pandemic. While most global Prosumers expressed faith in the COVID-19 vaccines available at the time of the study, nearly two-thirds of those in the Czech Republic and around half of Prosumers in France and Belgium did not. Among Prosumers who don't trust the vaccines, the vast majority (83%) worry that the development process was “too rushed,” while—more worryingly—around a third simply don't trust the people and institutions promoting the vaccines. Marianne explains, “Trust is one of the things that is key in the way people will get vaccinated. When we looked a bit deeper, we saw that the level of distrust was really linked not only to the rushed elaboration process of the vaccine, but to a deeper distrust in the institutions that promote the vaccine.” When Linda goes on to ask what the relationship between hygiene and health will be like going forward, Marianne says, “COVID, for 83% of Prosumers, heightened our awareness and aversion to germs. Now we see [germs] more or less everywhere, on every surface, on clothes, in the air. If someone starts coughing in the subway, everyone looks at him like if he was a terrorist.” The Prosumer study also found that, post-COVID, more people will pay attention to keeping a clean home and to the cleanliness of bathroom stalls, restaurants, and public transportation, as far more people now correlate cleanliness with health. The implications of this on everything from the market for germ-killing products to pharma companies to healthcare systems will be profound. For our Red Questionnaire segment, which asks a different industry leader the same set of questions each month, Shailo Rasanayakam, integrated senior account manager, global clients, for Red Havas U.K., picks the brain of Rachael Sansom, managing director at Red Havas U.K. A comms leader and brand reputation expert in the U.K. with over 20 years' experience, Rachael has experience leading agencies as well as working in-house for leading brands such as Motorola and Random House. She is confirmed as judge at the Cannes Lion creative awards this year and has been included for the second year running in the PRWeek Power Book. With Shailo, Rachael discusses everything from her favorite interior design Instagram account to the fate of TikTok (“I think a lot of brands are very nervous about TikTok; however, those that have embraced it have really shown how powerful it can be”) to her perspective on life after the pandemic. “My key message to everybody is just live your life,” says Rachael. “If COVID has taught us one thing it's that life can be very short. It's important that we all get the most out of, frankly, the lovely texture that is life moving forward.” 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!

In this episode you will learn: · Why transparency and authenticity go hand in hand with brand purpose · How operationalizing purpose can help companies mitigate risk and serve as a competitive advantage · How to measure brand purpose and why companies must Even before the global pandemic erupted in tandem with social justice protests, consumers were applying more pressure on brands to demonstrate their purpose and take a stance. The “vote with your wallet” concept was easy for consumers to apply to their day-to-day purchases. The bestselling book written by Whole Foods CEO John Mackey, “Conscious Capitalism,” had landed him on Oprah's podcast, further empowering a new generation of consumer activists. And Havas' Meaningful Brands research had found that 77% of consumers prefer to buy from companies and brands that share their values. Beyond influencing how people shopped, purpose had also begun to have bearing on where they worked. A study by Deloitte found that two out of three millennials—the generation predicted to comprise 75% of the global workforce by 2025—primarily choose to work at a company because of its purpose. However, in 2020, the onus to drive change shifted away from consumers who were locked in the pressure cooker of a pandemic and onto corporate leaders for whom 2020 was the year to show what they were made of and what their company stood for. This is the subject of our April episode as well as a new Red Havas white paper, “From Pledges to Progress: Proving Brand Purpose in 2021” (available for download here). In a conversation moderated by Red Havas' Linda Descano, two representatives of Chief Executives for Corporate Purpose—better known as CECP—explore how the role of the corporation in society is evolving and the implications it has on how companies communicate and engage with employees, communities, policymakers, investors and other key stakeholder audiences. A think tank that helps companies transform how they engage with stakeholders, CECP can claim CEO members representing more than 200 of the world's largest companies from across different industries, totaling more than $11.2 trillion in revenues and 14 million employees worldwide. Together, Nandika Madgavkar, who is head of The CEO Investor Forum at CECP, and Alexa Yigit, head of sustainable finance for CECP, trace the changes they've charted in brand purpose and what it all means for corporations. “Put aside everything else, the focus is on employees, because your employees are the reason a company will survive, thrive, exist for the long term,” says Madgavkar. “If you don't have engaged employees who feel that the company and the CEO in particular has their best interests at heart, they are not going to show up. They're not going to produce. They're not going to be there for the long term. They are looking for a company that shows heart more than it shows the bottom line.” And the business benefits of operating from a place of purpose, especially during a crisis, are beginning to make themselves known, too. As Yigit says, “An authentic corporate purpose, when experienced through the brand and lived through the strategy, can help create shareholder value while positioning companies to realize a return on purpose over the long term.” While the purpose landscape has changed indelibly over the past year, in particular there's been a shift in the substance, style and tonality of brand communications, both internally and externally, about three key themes: employee wellbeing; diversity, equity and inclusion; and the climate. Episode 11 concludes with a conversation between Red Havas Senior Account Manager Shailo Rasanayakam and Simone Gupta, CEO of Havas PR Australia, who answers the questions we ask of a new guest each month to understand what inspires them and makes them tick. In particular, she calls out The Naked Beauty Podcast by friend Booke Devard as a must listen! A strategic and holistic board-level business lead and leadership coach, Simone is currently managing Havas agencies Red Havas and One Green Bean after her recent promotion in Q1 2021. She has been active in the gender equality discussion for many years, hosting industry panels on women in senior creative and management roles. She was founding deputy chair of PR industry body the PR Council of Australia, founding chairman of girls' rights charity One Woman at a Time and is an experienced leadership coach.

In our final episode of the year, we reveal the results from our very own Word of the Year survey of communicators. Dino Delic, Meltwater's director of enterprise analytics and insights, joins us for that conversation and then goes on to highlight how purpose-driven some of the biggest and best-known brands have been in their pandemic-era communications. And for the Red Questionnaire segment, we chat with Bukola Garry, Havas' manager of diversity and inclusion, about how to make strides toward eradicating racism after this tumultuous year. She also tells us what she considers to be an emotional superpower, and shares the personal mantra that keeps her invigorated for life—spoiler alert: it's a great one. Quotes: “To me, the word that would describe [2020] is backlash. It's a negative word. So I don't love it for that sense, because I do think of myself as a little bit more hopeful and optimistic about 2021… But backlash to me, of course, has been political backlash about governments not doing the right thing with COVID, or doing things too strongly, or not enforcing things. … But when a company or a corporation or a brand was involved in a backlash and not a political figure, it was usually because they were trying to do something that they felt like was the right thing to do.” —Dino Delic, Director of Enterprise Analytics and Insights, Meltwater “There is so much pressure on companies to do the right thing, and the right thing is so subjective.” —Dino Delic, Director of Enterprise Analytics and Insights, Meltwater “First and foremost, I would say authenticity [is required of brands who navigate successfully through a crisis]. If they're doing it just to address a challenge, or if they're doing it to avoid a backlash, or if they are doing it just because they think that that's what people want, that's when they've typically gotten themselves into trouble.” —Dino Delic, Director of Enterprise Analytics and Insights, Meltwater “In an effort to try to help customers navigate through this tricky concept of injecting purpose into a brand, we try to take what is squishy or qualitative and make it quantifiable and measure the things that are typically subjective. And we found, like other times when we've developed metrics like this, it's entirely possible to do so.” —Dino Delic, Director of Enterprise Analytics and Insights, Meltwater “There's a great quote that says, ‘When you're accustomed to privilege, equality feels like oppression.' And I just think that the temptation with uncomfortable conversations or topics is to try and push past them. Like we try and flick a switch or move on to something you know. But in reality, there are people that are constantly being retraumatized and made to feel less than … The reality of racism is just that it's a reality. And until we're all triggered by it, I think real change is still so far away.” —Bukola Garry, Diversity & Inclusion Manager, Havas “There have recently been more moments and moments in time when we were having to check into our humanity… so many opportunities for us to really do some self-reflection, to ask ourselves, ‘How do I be more of an ally? How do I be more of a supporter, and how do I kind of recognize and validate, and learn about experiences that are different from my own?'” —Bukola Garry, Diversity & Inclusion Manager, Havas Connect with Red Havas: 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?

When our work lives and home lives were all but tossed into a blender in March, we witnessed a drastic change in the way we work and interact with colleagues, vendors, suppliers and partners. Same goes for the way we run our households; everything from how we purchase groceries to how we educate our children has transformed. In Red Havas' latest white paper, and in the Trends Brief segment of this episode, we explore how pandemic-era consumers expect far more from the technology that is helping us hold it all together from day to day. Panelists include James Wright, global CEO, Red Havas and chair, Havas PR Global Collective; Rachael Sansom, managing director, Red Havas U.K.; Aarti Shah, executive editor, PRovoke Media; and Pattie Sullivan, SVP and head, B2B practice, Red Havas U.S. The panel is moderated by Linda Descano, CFA®, EVP, Red Havas U.S. Together they discuss how consumers now want fast, efficient and easy all the time. This has had a profound effect on both business-to-business (B2B) companies and business-to-consumer (B2C) companies when it comes to delivering services, experiences and products—not just to their immediate consumer but to people in general. As our panelists discuss, if there's anything to be gained from this changed communication landscape, it's that we were quickly reminded of the true humanity we all share. We are people first and foremost—and we've begun to relate and communicate with this understanding at the forefront.In this episode you will learn: The four rules of engagement for P2P communication Why the pandemic has further driven consumers to insist brands demonstrate purpose in action up and down the supply chain, not just in the end product Why employee-generated content provides the most value for brands (and is often the most underutilized form of influencer content) Which generations are most interested in working for employers with a well-defined purpose (even valuing purpose over pay check) In the Red Questionnaire segment, Georgina Thompson, senior account director for Red Havas U.K., chats with Jeffrey Whitford, MilliporeSigma's head of sustainability, social business innovation and life science branding. In each episode, we ask our guests the same set of questions—e.g., first job, favorite cliché, number of stamps in their passport. We also plumb our expert guests' experiences for predictions about what we can expect to happen next in their respective industries. Jeffrey has plenty of interesting things to say about how the conversation about climate change will shift during the United States' transition to a new presidential administration. Says Jeffrey, “What you've seen, or started to see, in regards to climate is more specific actions. And I think that's the kind of thing that I always am reverting people back to--rather than taking a look at the commitments, how are we taking a look at the action that's taking place, and the change that is happening?” Quotes: “In light of the Pfizer news that came out yesterday, it really sort of struck me again that we do need trusted sources of information … so people can make good decisions. So I think this idea that P2P actually does equal higher quality information is really interesting and can facilitate trust, especially when that's being eroded.” —Aarti Shah, Executive Editor, PRovoke Media ‘While we've seen a number of industries have been hit hard by the pandemic, audiences are not prepared to give brands a hall pass during this time. In fact, they expect brands to stay true to their purpose, despite the challenging business environment… Brands that put purpose on pause in the short term may very well find themselves that they've lost the public trust and confidence over the long term, and regaining it can certainly be an uphill climb.” —Pattie Sullivan, SVP and Head, B2B Practice, Red Havas U.S. “Every kind of CEO I've spoken to has talked to me about their own personal stories and how they felt a much greater connection to their own employees [during the pandemic]. And therefore, I think that that gives you more confidence to one, think about how you can embrace your employees, how you can support them, but then also how you can utilize them as brand advocates?” —James Wright, Global CEO, Red Havas and Chair, Havas PR Global Collective “It's not just about saying all the right things; it's about doing the things and making sure that you've reconciled what you say versus what you do, and you're minding the gap. Because your employees are more likely to call you out on it if they're not seeing that follow through. And that creates a whole other sort of set of reputational risks that then the company has to manage.” —Linda Descano, Executive Vice President, Red Havas U.S. “2021 will be a year of recovery: recovery of the economy, recovery of health, and recovery of confidence in all parts of society. But that isn't going to happen immediately in January; it's going to happen over time. The role that organizations, corporates, businesses and brands can play will continue to be at the forefront of that.” —James Wright, Global CEO, Red Havas and Chair, Havas PR Global Collective “One of the dynamics we've seen around experiences is that some brands who perhaps have been at the forefront of physical experiences have slightly struggled in the new normal … whereas we've seen smaller brands, who are perhaps a bit more agile, have really kind of embraced this challenge and taking it to the fore. One of the things about the virtual experience space—it lets small companies be able to hold experiences that many people can participate in at a relatively low cost. So they're not tied into buying big properties or big events.” —Rachael Sansom, Managing Director, Red Havas U.K. “You do need to continually evaluate your content in the context of what's happening now. More than ever, the situation we're living in, and that we're working in, is very fluid. And content that was appropriate a few months ago, a few weeks ago, a few days ago, may seem out of touch. And even though things are uncertain, don't keep company leaders under wraps, they should be visible, they should be communicating internally and externally with empathy, because after all, it's that human connection that's the very foundation for person-to-person communication.” —Pattie Sullivan, SVP and Head, B2B Practice, Red Havas U.S. “For those of us who work in the [sustainability and climate] sector, we're really pushing to say, if we can provide more data, then we're going to be able to have more transparency about the areas of focus. Because on the whole, to be honest, what you and I do individually isn't the big lever. That's not what's going to do it. It's kind of got to be what industry does [and] what … big utilities do.” —Jeffrey Whitford, Head of Sustainability, Social Business Innovation and Life Science Branding, MilliporeSigma Connect with Red Havas: Follow Red Havas for a daily dose of comms news: Twitter Facebook Instagram LinkedIn What Did You Love?

122|Setting Your 2020 New Year Resolutions

Business Built Freedom

The big year is upon us. 2019 is nearly finished and we are going to be talking about how to make sure you have 20/20 vision in 2020. It's clever. You can't do that many times. So I'm going to say it as many times as I can. So we've got a pretty good episode today. I guess it's all around making sure that you have the appropriate goals for your New Year. How do you work out what your New Year's resolution is, and why do most of them fail? Learn more about setting your 2020 new year resolutions at dorksdelivered.com.au What is in the Future? To accompany this, I will actually be popping in a download on this page or in the description below, so check that one out. One big scary thing for businesses currently in 2019 in Australia particularly, is where the interest rates are going, and I am not your financial advisor and if you're trying to get financial advice from me, wooo, you've got to sort that out first. But that should be your New Year's resolution. Don't take your financial advice from a dork. Having said that, the financial situation in Australia with the interest rates potentially going into the negative very shortly shows that we've probably on the verge of a recession, and that means that you need to consider that when moving into 2020. So not only do you need to make sure you have great New Year's resolutions, you need to make sure your recession-proofing your business. This document will cover off on that as well. Don’t Aim Too High The reason most people's goals fail is because they set them too high. This goes for personal goals as well as for business goals. A personal goal, if you weigh 150 and you say you want to get down to 95 kilos in six months, you need to realistically think about how that's going to occur, how energy works, how those calories sit in there, what are the little building blocks to allow for you to achieve that goal? And you should then consider the little building blocks as the goal or part thereof, as opposed to the huge big goal of losing such a massive amount of weight, which is a huge achievement, but it's difficult. Don’t Give Up When you crack out that first chocolate bar or beer or whatever it is, whatever your crutch is, and then you notice the scales aren't moving, and you had a bit of dopamine released, you decide let's not bother. And 2020, January, you give up. So you don't want to have that as a situation, as the outlook. Make sure you have a large goal in mind and then have smaller goals to allow you to achieve that. With the recession possibly coming onboard and how to recession-proof your business, you want to make sure that you're looking at what the building blocks are that you're offering your customers, and you're not just looking at your whole business as a big entity. What Are your Building Blocks? If you're a pie store, you can say, "Oh my goodness, people aren't pies as much because they're going to the supermarket, because they're in and out of a job because of the recession," or whatever the case is. You have to think of yourself not as a pie store, but what is the actual items people are buying within your pie store? If they're buying all the vegan pies or the chicken pies, whatever it is, promote that item and make sure that you're able to see across the board which of the items that people do buy and which ones they do not, and give them reasons to continue to shop and buy with you. Communication is Key Make sure that you know your customer, and that your customer knows that you exist. Make sure you have a voice. Don't sit in the corner waiting for them to come to you. Speak up. A lot of the time, they've just forgotten that they enjoyed the pies that you sell, or the haircuts that you cut, or whatnot. So if you don't have a way to talk to your customers currently, to keep you front of mind with a digital fridge magnet or otherwise, get that as your first goal. Don't say that you want to increase your bottom line by 20%. That's great. That's a great goal, but that should be your yearly goal or even longer than that. You should have a smaller, more achievable bite-size chunk as to how you do that, and to increase your bottom line by 20%, it could be something such as creating a marketing plan or refining your current marketing plan or looking at your current customers and creating a referral program or an affiliate program, or anything like that. Just having a second set of eyes on your existing work, or getting in an advisor that can give you that information to help you out and to build your business. What Would You Like to See Happen? Dream, plan, execute. Have a great idea of exactly what you'd love to see happen. Increase your bottom line by 20%, but then plan how that's going to actually occur. Bettering your marketing plan, doing door to door sales, getting an affiliate program. So plan that all out into bite-size bits, and those bite-size bits should be your resolution, your New Year's resolution. Execute, and make sure that you have a schedule in there that you say, I want to do this on this date, I want to do this on this day. Celebrate! Then celebrate the victories. I call them champagne moments. I think that's become synonymous with the industries. It is when you decide, not I got to 20%, but you finished the marketing plan. Champagne moment. You achieved your first new customer through that marketing plan. Champagne moment. And keep doing that. Don't make the bite sizes too small though, because you'll end up just being a drunk and you don't want that. If your bite sizes are small enough to say, I just wrote my signature on a piece of paper that says marketing plan, you're not going to finish that. Keep yourself in line, and keep yourself with realistic goals where you are rewarding yourself and you are releasing that dopamine for doing that, and giving yourself that success to drive to the next thing. Because you don't want to be removing a whole bunch of baggage, whether it be 50 kilos or more from your body in one fell swoop, because you'll put it all back on, and you'll feel terrible about doing it. The Final Word So keep your business lean, keep your business clean, keep yourself recession-proof through looking at the trends of what's selling well in your business. Check out this document that we've got here. It is going to give you heaps of information about how to do that for your business, and overall Happy New Year. Merry Christmas. Stay good. Drink too much and be jolly!

If you haven't listened to Episode 51 please check it out to see if you were a winner! PalKal 2016 This is the biggest and best event of the year for Actually Knitting listeners! What is the PalKal? The PalKal will run June 15- September 15 2016 The basic idea is to support a podcaster you listen to or watch by knitting one of their patterns and/or using their yarns for your project. You can also use a project bag by a podcaster! The design, yarn/fiber and/or project bag must be from a knitting/crochet/fiber podcaster. (Not all 3, just one of those to qualify). Spinning also counts, just make sure it’s a finished product. Use the chatter thread for discussion. Make suggestions. There are TONS of podcasts out there and almost no one knows about all of them, so if you know of a podcaster designer/yarnie/bag maker, feel free to share with us! You are encouraged to take advantage of the coupon codes offered by our sponsors, but you are not limited to those podcasters for the KAL. Sponsors and coupon codes can be found on the show notes and in the specially labeled threads in the Actually Knitting group on Ravelry. Enter as many projects as you like. Each project gets a separate post in the non-chatter thread. A note about project bags: a project bag may only be entered into the contest one time for an entry. (You can’t just keep using a podcaster project bag over and over and entering the contest that way). You must be a member of the Actually Knitting Podcast Group to win. Have fun supporting a podcaster designer or yarnie! Please do not chatter in the non-chatter thread. It makes it more difficult to draw a winner! Use the tag #palkal2016 on Instagram and Ravelry. Wips count! Just finish them between June 15 and September 15, doesn’t matter when they were started. Featured Performer Sponsors are coming in everyday and so far there are coupon codes available from the following sponsors: Alana Dakos from Never Not Knitting Brenda Castiel Daniela from Caffeinated Knitting Knitting Daddy Greg from Unraveling with Greg and Joey Mary from Kino Knits Sarah Shoo from Cultivate and Create Susie from The Prairie Girls Knit and Spin Podcast The coupon code for all vendors is PalKal2016 to keep things simpler this year!

To get you even more interested, Rachel will go through the details about the fruit producing modern courtyard she designed that is in Niki's book!

Another interesting topic you will also learn about is the Cocktail Garden plants where you can grow things you like to drink.

In this episode, professional, international garden designer Rachel Mathews will feature sloping gardens, steps and how to deal with a retaining wall and changes in level. She will reveal her simple method for linking different level changes within the garden. This video is a quick sketch challenge for an existing garden in Scotland which needs re-doing so a retaining wall and steps can be added. You will learn how Rachel sketches over the existing sloping garden to re-design it using oval and curve shapes. Rachel will also talk about tips and ideas on putting in steps and a retaining wall. She will discuss how wide or narrow the steps should be and how it affects the retaining wall that you will put up. This will also help with making the garden look and feel larger. You must think about the entire garden... She will also tackle level changes and do it in a way where the garden looks much more inviting. She will give you advice on the measurements for the levels on the steps and what the average measurement is. She will also mention some suggestions on what you can put beside the retaining walls, like dense planting as barriers so no one falls off the patio and it also makes it feel even more open in that area.
