Our client Samsung Electronics’s Olympics campaign, “First Flips,” has set a new benchmark for engaging younger audiences. Running throughout the summer and across the Olympics, the campaign focused on building awareness for the Galaxy Z Flip 6 model among Gen Z. The results? Well, they speak for themselves. As Peter Wilson, our executive strategy director, shared with Digiday, the campaign saw a strong uplift in ownership, purchase intent, and brand perception. Plus, the social content series featuring creators like Arrdee, Yung Filly, and Mia Regan saw engagement rates of 6.5%—well above the typical 2%. This was a prime example of how authentic participation in key communities and creator collaborations paired with a strong product fit, can generate impactful results. Thanks Digiday for including our insights! Link to the full article here 👉 https://lnkd.in/evafC6hN #GenZMarketing #CampaignSuccess #BrandAwareness

Is it an agency’s responsibility to tell clients when something isn’t working? In the latest article from The Drum, Matt Rebeiro, our Executive Strategy Director, tackles this head-on. He points out: “Of course, agencies should flag potential issues with products or business strategies. We’re in a unique position to offer insights without being clouded by internal biases. But the key is to frame those insights in a way that really resonates with senior leadership.” As Matt highlights, it’s all about making the impact clear: “Show how underperforming in a key market could lead to a £50m hit on the bottom line, and suddenly you’ve got their attention.” Being honest about challenges helps build stronger, more effective partnerships. 🔗 Read the full article in The Drum here: https://lnkd.in/eapK6tFd #ClientPartnerships #BusinessStrategy #AgencyInsights

Keeping that ‘back to school’ mindset isn’t just for September. As Elisha Pearce, our MD of Growth & Marketing UK & EMEA shared in Creativebrief: 'The most successful brands build 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐢𝐫 𝐜𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐬, not just engaging with them during seasonal spikes, but instead building a year-round connection where you play a meaningful role in their lives, getting them to participate with you and offering some sort of value exchange.' It’s all about staying curious and continuously learning, so brands and agencies are always ready for what’s next.

HCPs don’t want to hear it. Not from health marketers, anyway. As marketers, we need a dynamic, new approach. That’s why, at Iris, we do things differently. By understanding the stakeholder ecosystem, we are able to activate networks of influence by creating ideas that mobilise. It’s all part of what we call ‘Participation’ and it delivers tangible results. Discover more about it by reading our white paper on the five dynamics of healthcare marketing: https://lnkd.in/exKT3vRe Or contact Marie Little for an exploratory conversation on what Participation means for your brand. #HealthMarketing #InnovativeStrategies #HealthcareEngagement Source: Attest survey, 500 HCPs, June 2024.

Dynamic pricing has been a hot topic lately, especially after the Oasis ticket surge sparked some serious backlash. As Ed Heskins, our Head of Pricing at Iris, puts it: it’s not just about what you 𝘤𝘢𝘯 do with pricing, but what you 𝘴𝘩𝘰𝘶𝘭𝘥 do. “Dynamic pricing is a tactic, not a strategy. For the right business, it can improve the customer experience by managing demand and availability. But it needs to fit with your overall goals and really understand your customer.” It’s all about finding the balance between boosting profits and keeping customers happy. If they feel exploited, it could do more harm than good. 🔗 Check out the full article in Management Today here: https://lnkd.in/eW2jW_Gd #PricingStrategy #CustomerExperience #BrandReputation

In a recent article from The Drum, the discussion centered around how agencies can transition client relationships from project-based work to long-term retainers. Anthony Abrahams, Managing Director, shared his thoughts on the importance of transparency and trust in these relationships: “...open and direct sharing of information is essential. From the agency, this ranges from feedback on the quality of briefs to reconciled data on exactly where time is being spent. From the client, this includes everything from feedback on the development and delivery process to sharing regular business performance metrics to identify what is and isn’t working.” Thanks to The Drum for including Anthony’s insights! 🔗 Read the full article here: https://lnkd.in/eUYRZtUA #ClientPartnerships #StrategicCollaboration
