Todays guest is Colin Westcott Pitt, Global Chief Brand Officer with Glanbia Performance Nutrition. And today we are talking about building a ONE Billion Dollar Global Brand. Colin has a background in working in global alcohol brands and we chat about that and about his time working on Dos Equis which at the time had the brilliant Most Interesting man in the world campaign, so we chat about that and how that field of marketing has changed and evolved.
8 years Colin moved to Glanbia, an Irish global nutrition group with operations in 32 countries. It has leading market positions in sports nutrition, cheese, dairy ingredients, speciality non-dairy ingredients and vitamin and mineral premixes. Glanbia products are sold or distributed in over 130 countries. In their Performance Nutrition they have a portfolio of about 9 brands indluding hugely successful Optimum Nutrition which Glanbia acquired in 2008 and achieved over 1.1 Billion in revenue in 2023.
Colin highlights key moments of success for Optimum Nutrition, notably its expansion into online and broader retail distribution. We discuss the new partnership with the McLaren Formula One team, which focuses on the importance of nutrition for both drivers and pit crews. We delve into a topic I have a keen interest in and something that Diplomat helps brands figure out and that is the complexities of managing a global brand. Colin underscores the vital role of investing in local talent and nurturing a collaborative culture within the organization to drive brand success.
In the episode we also address the challenges of measuring marketing effectiveness, especially in the digital age, the potential of AI to revolutionize content creation and media planning, and the importance of aligning marketing strategies with business goals to ensure they contribute to revenue growth and profitability. The discussion rounds off with advice for aspiring marketers, focusing on the need for cross-functional exposure, active listening, and a strong understanding of consumer behavior.

A bumper edition of the Cannes Sessions Daily Round Up today. I started the day over at the LinkedIn rooftop where all things B2B have been discussed all week and this morning I caught, Rita Kirwan, Lauren de Boer & Tom McAleer to get their take on the state of B2B.
I then headed out (in the rain...I know can you believe it) to the RTL Ad Alliance beach where I saw a panel being hosted by Emmanuel Probst of IPSOS. And right after that Justin Reid and Lara Krug from the Kansas City Chiefs took to the stage and I was able to chat to Lara before she took to the stage about her role as CMO with one of the most successful franchises in the NFL.
I took some time out to catch up with some of the Young Lions, Lorna Tutty joined me with some good news about how she is getting on and then Alexandra Jakljusina & Tyla Nofal came straight out of their presentation to give me the low down. I was able to catch up Jamie Fulham and Lorna Begley of Diageo, they have won 2 Silver Lions with Baileys Sound Scales.
Finally I rounded out the day at the creators terrace to hear from Marc Hustvedt President of Mr.Beast in conversation with X CEO Linda Yaccarino and managed to track down one of my favourite brands, E.L.F Beauty, where I got to say hi to Kory M again and hear from Patrick O'Keeffe.
So another jam packed day at Cannes, the final round up will come out tomorrow and then I will be releasing episodes I have recorded at the festival throughout the summer months, so lots of great interviews coming your way with the likes of Karandeep Kapnay of Duolingo, Mark Ritson, Karen Nelson-Field, Jon Lombardo & Peter Weinberg, Gerry D'Angelo and many many more.

Peter Field said âAny brand with ambitions beyond its budget needs to see thisâ. He was referring to Bountiful Cows IPA data fueled study which analysed 256 ad campaigns, examining them for Relative Advantage. I tracked down Adam Foley, CEO of Bountiful Cow to ask him more about the analysis and the findings. The research argues that relative advantage campaigns are 15% more likely to show at least one very large brand effect. They are also 60% more likely to have a very large effect on awareness, 22% more likely on differentiation suggesting a longer-term benefit to the brand and the business.
As Adam himself has said âWhen you canât outspend your competition, you have to out-think them. Youâll never win by doing the same thing with less money; itâs about seizing opportunities that competitors overlook or neglect.â This episode delves into the report with great real life examples of brands that are using these principles of relative advantage.
This is episode covers the importance of challenger brands, how a diverse and non-traditional approach to marketing and audience engagement can result in significant company growth and brand awareness, distinctiveness in a saturated market, leveraging social currency, and the critical role of measuring campaign effectiveness.

Traditional (or established) media is having somewhat of a resurgence, the pendulum is certainly swinging to a more balanced view. We have the likes of Nils Leonard celebrating the power of OOH, Mark Ritson telling us that if we allocate 11% of our marketing budget to radio advertising, the entire campaignâs effectiveness will double and Peter Field releasing Why TV is at the heart of effectiveness and NeuroInsight showing that a 30-second cinema ad had 1.75 times more chance of having its âintended impactâ on memory and engagement than a 30-second TV ad. So it was time for Thatâs What I Call Marketing to sit down with leading industry bodies to get their take on the landscape, the challenges and opportunities faced by traditional media, innovative research studies, and the importance of measurement and effectiveness in advertising. Featuring insights from Jill McGrath of TAM Ireland, Aoibhinn Lennon from the Outdoor Media Association, Cassie Joyce of Pearl and Dean Ireland, and CiarĂĄn Cunningham of Radio Centre Ireland, the discussion delves into how traditional media channels are adapting to digital transformations and the perceived effectiveness of digital vs. traditional advertising. The episode also highlights the need for marketers to be curious, challenge assumptions, and consider a balanced media mix to achieve brand success. Recorded at Poddle Audio

Todayâs guest is the fascinating Ellie Norman, Chief Communications Officer at Manchester United. This is a wonderful story of embracing challenges, from diving into the marketing world without prior experience to leading innovative branding strategies at big brands. Ellie has worked for Honda, which must have been a dream job for someone who grew up loving motorised vehicles and Ellie certainly made the most of it as you will hear. Ellie totally changed direction going to Virgin Media and then the call came to lead marketing at Formula One, where Ellie set up the first ever marketing structure and helped transform the perceptions of the sport, and yes we do talk about Drive to Survive. In a fascinating next step Ellie took over marketing at the glorious Manchester United, and what is fascinating is Ellie had no real love for football, so we talk about what attracted her to the role at the greatest football club in the world (can you sense the bias!). This episode sheds light on the power of curiosity, the significance of building relationships, and the impact of strategic marketing in the ever-evolving world of sports and entertainment.

In February Walter T Geer posted that he was going to shut down his social media and âuse it to amplify the voices of Black women that needed a mega phoneâ Walter commented that Historically Black women âhave CONSISTENTLY been called upon to help solve the worlds problems. It wasnât too long ago that leaders and companies called upon and hired many of these women, to save their companies by addressing their diversity issues. Now only a few years later, many of those same leaders and companies seem to have forgotten the very people who helped dig them out of a holeâ
I was in touch with Walter and asked if he thought it was a good idea to profile some of the women he had featured and host a panel discussion on their experiences in marketing and communications and from their perspectives why we are where we are and what needs to change.
I was incredibly grateful that six of the black female leaders featured by Walter came back and agreed to be part of the discussion. In Part One of that discussion I am joined by
*Effie Kanyua, Founder: We Are Warriors PR - featured in PR Week's 'New Agencies to Watch in 2024'
*Ekaette Kern, Co-Founder and CEO, Tenet Consultancy.
*LeAnne Weekes, public relations and marketing expert looking for her next role
In this episode we have a really open conversation we discuss barriers to entry for black professionals in the field, including recruitment challenges, unpaid internships, lack of progression routes, and systemic issues. The panel discuss real-life examples of overcoming barriers in the industry, strategies for enhancing diversity in marketing and communications, stories of perseverance, creativity, and success, advice for aspiring professionals, emphasising the value of networking. Despite some progress, our industry still has a long way to go in truly embracing diversity and inclusivity. Let's learn, grow, and support each other in making the marketing world a place where everyone's voice is heard and valued. đĄ
