Doubling down on its main distinctive brand asset (Cornelius), Kellogg's and Leo Burnett, London have reimagined the brand and are using ethnography to unlock morning-time rituals that are fueling the next phase of creative work.

Duluth Trading Company plays where Carhartt or Wrangler can't - humor. With products like "Buck Naked" boxers, "Funk no" underwear and "Ball-room" Jeans, it uses its fantastically irreverent voice and illustrated ad style to speak to its core proposition - seriously great products without the seriousness. A must listen episode. Thanks to Tracksuit for supporting our show.

For Ep#3 in our B2B series, I'm joined by Michelle Lisowski, Senior Director for Global B2B and Partnership Marketing at Uber. We talk about taking Uber into B2B, the aspects of the brand that can extend and others that need to be augmented. This B2B Series brought to you by LinkedIn.

Greg Hahn, CCO of Mischief and Nicole Parlapiano, CMO of Tubi join me to talk about their latest work for the ad supported streaming service. The perfectly weird campaign suggests that if it's in you, it's in here.

What happens when three planners and an ad pre-tester get together to hear how their favorite spots rated? Needless to day, it's soul crushing and hilarious. Jaime McGill of DDB, Chicago, Andrew Tindall of System1 and Stephanie Ehui of TBWA/Chiat/Day, Los Angeles join me. 

Taking a premium-priced, low awareness brand into a low consideration category with a very particular B2B target (procurement), needed a reframe that would connect all the dots in its favor. We hear from Procell's Steve Pilcher and VML UK's Neil Godber. Thanks to LinkedIn Ads for sponsoring this B2B series. Get $100 off your next LinedIn Ads campaign at linkedIn.com/onstrategy.
