    Want to teach an old dog new tricks? Teach them shoshin. It’s a word from Zen Buddhism that means “beginner’s mind,” a state of approaching any challenge with a childlike eagerness. It’s about infinite curiosity, about the constant learning process, about being an open canvas to all the possibilities out there.

    It’s the shoshin mindset that drives everything at LTI, a global IT and digital solutions company with 40,000 employees around the world. In this episode, CMO Peeyush Dubey shares how shoshin has driven the brand’s success, especially in relation to LTI Canvas, the new product that LTI developed in three months in response to the COVID pandemic.

    Tune in to hear all about it in this fascinating interview, as well how LTI scales its marketing efforts under a three-pronged structure of brand, demand, and expand.

  • Huddler Ellyn Raftery on Ad Age

    November 08, 2021 11:35 AM | Anonymous member (Administrator)

    In the span of three years, three large financial services companies merged into one goliath called FIS. With roughly $12 billion in annual revenue and more than 60,000 employees serving more than 20,000 clients in 130 countries, FIS might be the largest company you haven’t heard of. It’s a situation Ellen Raftery, its chief marketing and communications officer, expects to remedy with a new multidimensional brand campaign.

    Starting with a revamping of corporate values, Raftery and her team looked to streamline a portfolio of more than 850 products that consumed more than 9 million web pages. Ultimately, they redesigned the portfolio into 10 categories and one clear promise: "Advancing the way the world pays, banks and invests." New “three letter” ads that spell out FIS make the company’s offering accessible to various audiences. While Raftery admits there’s lot more to do, the campaign has already exceeded expectations in terms of reach and impact.

    Strategic position, core values and brand positioning were reevaluated to streamline portfolio

    Listen Here | From Renegade Marketers Unite, Episode 264: Gigamon CMO on Engineering Giga-Growth

    What does pro-skateboarder Tony Hawk have to do with network security? For one, his surname is the same as Gigamon’s latest cloud visibility offering, Hawk by Gigamon. The solution enables customers to get a full 360 view of their hybrid infrastructures, making it easier to see—as Tony described in his Cameo for the brand—what could go wrong, what the backup plan is, and how to transform chaos into control.

    Tony Hawk’s role as a Gigamon’s spokesperson is just one part of a massive, marketing-led transformation for the brand. It all started in 2019 when Gigamon went private and brought on Karl Van den Bergh as CMO to lead the strategic shift. With an engineering background, Karl faced the challenge head-on, quickly building a predictive ROI model and ramping up brand awareness efforts across the board.

    Tune in for a seriously fascinating episode with a master marketeer, one who uniquely understands the value of how engaged employees, a clearly defined brand, and an award-winning demand gen engine can build the momentum a company needs to really soar (like, increasing pipeline by 6x soar).
