Thank you to Mediaweek Australia for the Q&A with RyanCap CEO Simon Ryan sharing his lessons on leadership.
‘Change is good, and progress is even better’: Leadership lessons from RyanCap CEO Simon Ryan “The approach to effective leadership needs to evolve and change with the times.”
RyanCap CEO Simon Ryan says 50 per cent of clients are “shifting a lot more money into search, digital and online video” as they scramble for immediate results and short-term sales going into FY25. Stubbornly high interest rates and crunched consumers mean major brand spending is likely off the cards for the foreseeable future. “Any marketer going into a C-suite or a boardroom and pushing a big brand campaign in what is a harder market would be very gutsy. Brand is absolutely crucial. However, what is working now is an absolute customer focus.” Listen to the Mi3Australia Market Voice podcast here - https://lnkd.in/dDC7kdr8
