Woke is a dish best served cold, I think someone once said...?? Just over a year ago – FMCG conglomerate Unilever manned the pumps to deflect any sense that it would bow to the backlash it was receiving over its strategy of ‘woke-washing’ its product advertising - which was making consumers choke. A year is a very long time in branding, but Unilever have just announced to shareholders that it has in fact been guilty of over-egging its sustainability and social justice pudding by “force-fitting” messaging onto brands. And also, more than a degree of force-feeding at play here too, I would say. So, should we be applauding Unilever for seeing the error of their ways and putting their hands up? Should we be at least grateful that there was some attempt born out of the Paul Polman era to lead by example with his Sustainable Living vision? Or, should we be castigating the lazy and unscrupulous efforts of the marketing trend-chasers who have facilitated this reckless and cack-handed approach? Or, maybe, we just roll our eyes and shrug in resigned recognition of witnessing yet another of example of corporate ‘misdiagnosedive’ strategy. 🙄 Where is the Linked-In jury on this one? #misdiagnosedivestrategy #unilever #strategy #woke https://lnkd.in/eiFX6f-Q

Another quarter down – with some personal news with it! I’m honored to be named as Unilever’s new Chief Growth and Marketing Officer, effective January 1!

Include this with your Scotch 🥃 The more the Whisky Industry strives to understand who its customers are, and their connection to the product/brand, the greater the opportunities will be to introduce innovation at every level of the business. I was born and raised in the Caribbean and fell in love with #scotchwhisky in the early 90’s. A tradition was born whilst I lived there - I would buy a half-sized bottle of #johnniewalker as a treat each pay day! None of my girlfriends drank #whisky, but our parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles did. Yep, the aunties were known to say ‘I’ll take ah scotch’ back then. My appreciation and love have both grown since moving to Scotland, and my tastes now include #Laphroaig, #Macallan and many other amazing brands. We’re spoilt for choice! I love seeing opportunities for people to fall in love with the artistry, the sustainability, the land, the global appeal, the everything that goes into producing #scotchwhisky. Building on #inclusion will attract new people and open doors for those of us who have ALWAYS loved #whisky. People from all walks of life, gender, ethnicity, ability and regions across the globe have loved Scotch Whisky, but sometimes from afar. Until recent years they’ve not seen a reflection of themselves, and maybe became resigned to the fact that mainly one demographic was celebrated. There have been brilliant strides to open things up, #Diageo's initiatives often catch my eye. The #Scotchwhiskyassociation has cleverly explained jobs within the industry on the #spiritedcareers site. Some distillery tours are designed with #accessibility needs in mind. How exciting would it be to see more done across the Whisky Industry as a whole? More pace, more authenticity, more depth of engagement, more everything. Sounds greedy and impatient? Maybe. But I don’t think it sounds unreasonable. There’s a wealth of diverse consumers, aficionados, engineers, social media gurus, distillers, sales managers, content writers, artists, bottlers, sustainability experts and Caribbean aunties who want to love your product up close. Let them. Let inclusion partner with tradition. It will be dynamite!

🌱 Are You Sugarcane Juice or Bagasse in Your Workplace? 🌾 In every workplace, there are individuals who embody the vibrant energy and potential of sugarcane juice, constantly adding sweetness and vitality to projects, inspiring those around them with their positivity and innovation. On the flip side, there are those who resemble bagasse, the fibrous residue left behind after extracting the juice, perhaps feeling depleted or underutilized, their talents and contributions not fully recognized or tapped into. Take a moment to reflect: which role do you identify with? Are you the sugarcane juice, infusing your team with enthusiasm and creativity? Or are you feeling more like bagasse, with untapped potential waiting to be unleashed? Regardless of where you currently stand, remember that every individual has the power to transform their workplace dynamic. Channel your inner sugarcane juice by seeking out opportunities to collaborate, innovate, and uplift those around you. And if you're feeling more like bagasse, don't despair—take proactive steps to communicate your skills and ideas, and seize every chance to make a meaningful impact. Let's strive to create workplaces where everyone can thrive, whether they're sugarcane juice or bagasse, by nurturing a culture of empowerment, recognition, and collaboration. 🌟 #WorkplaceCulture #EmployeeEngagement #Teamwork

Marmite and Dove soap-owner Unilever is to cut about 7,500 jobs worldwide, as part of an extensive three-year cost-saving plan. The group also said it would split off its ice cream business which includes the Wall's, Ben & Jerry's and Magnum brands. The food and household goods giant said the spin-off will start immediately and should be completed by the end of 2025. Unilever said the shake-up would help it to "do fewer things better". The job cuts, which Unilever said would mostly affect office staff, represent more than 5% of its 128,000 global workforce and are aimed at saving around €800m (£684m) over the next three years. https://lnkd.in/gCPYEgDx
