  • 💎💎💎

    There are a lot of complex topics here that are wonderfully explained! I’m a PR coach for product founders and I’m always looking for more resources to recommend them! Love the diversity in the industries covered and the focus on thought leadership rather than just quick tips and tricks. For all my beauty founders, def recommend amorepacifics ep😍

Gallo’s Britt West on Fixing Wine’s Relevance Problem and Recruiting the Next Generation
Q: What do you see as the playbook that's needed for the turnaround?
The playbook centers on three buckets—approachability, affordability, and cultural relevance—plus practical format and marketing changes that make wine feel accessible to a broader range of consumers. This includes simplifying the retail experience, exploring smaller formats like 200 ml tetra, and building culturally resonant partnerships to recruit new drinkers.
The Wine Group’s Helen Kurtz on Speed to Market and Competing in a Crowded Category
Q: What makes Helen's background unique for the Wine Group role?
Helen shares a path from consumer goods to wine, highlighting openness to non-traditional backgrounds and a strong marketing function focus, which the Wine Group valued for cross-category perspective and leadership flexibility.
Our LEGO Agency’s Jennifer Berry on Building Connected Commerce Beyond Channels
Q: Does the organization have a preference between D2C and third-party retail?
There isn't a strict preference; LEGO views both as essential parts of the ecosystem, with flagship experiences in lego.com/LEGO Stores and strong roles for third-party retailers.
Sephora’s Zena Arnold on Navigating Trends, Shaping Discovery, and Marketing at the Speed of Culture
Q: How is Sephora approaching AI in marketing and customer experience?
AI is used to complement people, powering tools like in-store skin analysis and an AI BeautyChat to improve guidance and efficiency, while maintaining careful, value-driven experimentation.
Sephora’s Zena Arnold on Navigating Trends, Shaping Discovery, and Marketing at the Speed of Culture
Q: How does Sephora decide what trends to engage with and how to respond?
They filter signals through client engagement, brand values, and differentiators, then decide quickly whether a trend represents a real behavior shift or a fleeting moment, scaling responses accordingly.
