In this episode, Jane Ostler talks to Kantar's Rob Wade about how brands must Find New Space, the third Growth Accelerator in the Blueprint for Brand Growth. They discuss the strategic exploration of incremental opportunities beyond a brand's current market. It involves identifying new categories, occasions, or services where a brand can extend its reach.
For example, San Pellegrino, known for sparkling water, successfully ventured into flavoured soft drinks in cans, demonstrating a creative way to find new spaces without cannibalising existing sales. Another example is Lurpak Butter, which capitalised on advertising to amplify existing uses, such as cooking with butter instead of oil, thereby expanding the category. Premiumisation, like Baileys Chocolate Lux, and appealing to price-conscious consumers, as seen with Netflix's ad-supported tier, are also strategies brands use to innovate and grow. The key is to ensure that innovations are incremental and align with the brand's existing motivations and contexts to mitigate risks and increase the likelihood of success.

Jane Ostler talks to Kantar’s Adele Joliffe about the first Growth Accelerator in the Blueprint for Brand Growth. Brands need to Predispose More People to increase the probability of purchase, and this can be measured through Demand Power and Pricing Power. Adele highlights the importance of predisposition in both acquiring new customers and retaining existing ones, emphasising that it is not a guarantee of loyalty but rather a spectrum, where the goal is to strengthen and scale predisposition among as many individuals as possible.
Examples from various sectors, including grocery retail and streaming video, show successful strategies in building predisposition, such as M&S Food's seasonal advertising and Netflix's low churn rate due to high equity. The conversation also covers the role of media, creative content, and experiences in amplifying a brand's meaningful difference, with digital ads evoking stronger emotions being particularly effective. Overall, predisposition is presented as a multifaceted concept that, when leveraged effectively, can significantly enhance a brand's market position.

In our first of four special Future Proof podcast episodes about the Blueprint for Brand Growth, which aims to help CMOs and marketers drive value, especially in challenging economic times. Host Jane Ostler talks to Kantar’s Graham Staplehurst about the Blueprint’s Growth Driver, Be Meaningfully Different to More People. This episode highlights the importance of growing revenue, margin, and brand value. Strong brands are shown to outperform the stock market and are more resilient to economic shocks. Graham talks about the key to growth being meaningfully different to more people by creating rich, meaningful associations in consumers’ minds and differentiating from competitors.
This difference can be functional or emotional, offering something unique that competitors can’t, which helps in commanding higher prices and driving margin growth. Measuring meaningfulness, difference, and salience over time is crucial for guiding strategy, checking execution, and signalling brand value to investors. Advertising and marketing are investments that add to the asset value of a business.
