Here’s a summary with key insights from the LT Marketing and Leadership Show on 12 February 2025:Key Marketing Trends from Kantar’s “Marketing Trends 2025” Report (Final Five Trends) 1. Inclusion Imperative (“Woke and definitely not broke”): • Brands ignoring diversity and inclusion risk losing relevance, especially with Gen Z, Millennials, LGBTQ+, neurodivergent individuals, and people with disabilities. • 89% of consumers in emerging markets value inclusivity, compared to 71% in developed markets. • The ‘Africanisation’ trend (1 in 4 people will be African by 2050) presents significant opportunities for inclusive branding. • Inclusion is essential for future growth, requiring brands to go beyond token efforts. 2. Slowing Population Growth: • Population growth under 1% poses challenges for market penetration but offers stability in market share. • Changing demographics (delayed marriages, fewer children, smaller households) reduce spending but increase household numbers. • Brands must leverage accelerators like expanding audience reach, enhancing presence, and exploring new markets to sustain growth. 3. Stretching Innovation Limits: • Brands that find new uses or markets for their products double their growth potential. • Examples: Oreo and Ferrero in ice cream, Oral B in bathroom products, Samsung in retail stores. • Innovation requires balancing risk and opportunity, especially for larger brands aiming for incremental growth through category expansion. 4. Evolving Retail Media Networks (RMNs): • RMNs (retailer-operated digital ad platforms) offer precise targeting via first-party data. • By 2028, RMNs will account for 25% of US media ad spend, driven by personalised marketing. • Success depends on collaboration with retailers for data insights, tailored content, and addressing investment challenges like data access and measurement. 5. Livestreaming Growth: • Livestream shopping can boost brand assets by 10-15% (established brands) and drive 30%+ immediate interest (smaller brands). • China’s success with platforms like Taobao Live and WeChat sets the trend, with Gen Z and Millennials as key audiences. • Focus on consumer sentiment, engaging narratives, and brand recall for long-term success.Key Takeaways for Marketers: • Embrace Diversity and Inclusion for competitive advantage. • Adapt to Demographic Changes by exploring new markets and enhancing brand presence. • Innovate Continuously by expanding product offerings and entering new spaces. • Leverage RMNs for precise, data-driven marketing. • Capitalize on Livestreaming for immediate engagement and long-term brand affinity.These trends provide a roadmap for future-focused marketing strategies, encouraging brands to anticipate challenges and drive growth through innovation, inclusivity, and digital advancements.Take a seat, tune in, and let’s make positive change contagious.Learn more at www.kevinbritz.comhttps://www.kevinbritz.com/book/

In this episode of The Lunchtime Series with Kevin Britz, guest Pete Mohr, founder of Simplifying Entrepreneurship and host of the Business Owner Breakthrough podcast, discusses the importance of preparing a business for exit and why every business owner should care. With over 30 years of experience in transforming businesses, Pete emphasises that a business should support the life an owner wants to live, not the other way around.Pete introduces his 5P Structure — Promise, Product, Process, People, and Profit — as the foundation for building a business that can operate independently and attract buyers when the owner is ready to exit. He highlights that a business ready for exit is also well-positioned for growth, resilience, and owner freedom.Key points include: • Exit readiness is essential because 50% of businesses are sold under distressing circumstances such as illness, divorce, or partnership disputes. • Owners must consider whether they have built a business or merely created a job for themselves. • Systematising operations, delegating decisions to the lowest levels, and ensuring team alignment are critical for building a sellable business. • Pete stresses the importance of personal readiness for exit, not just financial and operational readiness, as many owners struggle with the emotional aspect of stepping away. • The CMA framework — Communication, Management, Accountability — is essential for business leadership, with simple structures making it easier to implement.Pete shares a success story of helping a business owner transform their musical instrument business into an internationally recognised brand with streamlined operations, illustrating the tangible benefits of exit readiness.His advice to business owners is to take time to reflect on where they want their business to go, write down their goals, and start implementing structures to build value and ensure long-term success.For more insights, Pete’s book Business Owner Breakthrough is available on Amazon, and he encourages owners to assess their business’s readiness through his value-building system.
