There’s a quote that goes along the lines of ‘I’m sorry this letter is so long, if I’d had time I’d have made it shorter’.

Marketing Bothism in the time of HFSS

I had always wanted to hear the famous author and academic Umberto Eco speak. When it was question time, I stood up first, keen to impress with my erudite questioning.

Money’s too tight to mention – how brands can win as the cost-of-living crisis hits

I remember the Bank of England base rate rising and rising in 1991, peaking at 15%. I was living a life unencumbered by a mortgage and had never experienced anything like it before, so I felt more like a witness to the failing economy than a victim of it. Nothing much changed for me.

I love the smell of vanilla in the morning – how do you do great global marketing?

I blame a dramatic change in my views on global marketing on a team of Bonn-based marketers. (You know who you are, and I always hated the colour magenta anyway.)

Grow your own – what really triggers growth and change?

I had a fascinating conversation with Will Best about his learnings from being a business founder. His journey made me think about what can hold leaders back from growing businesses and brands and making change happen.
