Tension Is a Brand's Best Friend with Katherine Melchior Ray

Описание: While leading Louis Vuitton’s brand strategy in Japan, Katherine Melchior Ray developed what she calls the “brand fulcrum,” a strategic framework that transformed how the luxury giant navigated cultural tensions and embraced innovation without sacrificing its hold on tradition.

Katherine, who has since authored the best-selling book Brand Global Adapt Local and is now the president of Globe Ally, joined the On Scope podcast to break down what the brand fulcrum is and how it can be applied to any brand’s marketing strategy. Along with host Mike Berberich, she outlined how tensions between innovation and tradition can be transformed from opposing forces into complementary strengths, the biggest mistakes she sees brands make when they begin to expand, the difference between knowing about a new trend on social and truly understanding it, and how the idea of the brand fulcrum can be operationalized from the C-suite down through the rest of the organization.

On “This Week in ANA Magazine,” editor Matthew Schwartz joined the show to discuss a major shift in how consumers watch live sports, as they embrace CTV more and more. Matthew highlighted how marketers can leverage this new opportunity with bold, innovative creative approaches and a focus on next-level targeting.
