    32: When Every Product has a Digital Identity with Camilla Young

    Episode 32: Camilla Young When Every Product has a Digital Identity October 2026 | 32 minute listen Camilla Young leads the UK transition to the next generation of barcodes at GS1 UK, bringing retailers, brands and technology providers together for one of the biggest changes to retail infrastructure in 50 years. Her earlier career in senior commercial roles at Johnson & Johnson, Hasbro, BIC and Pernod Ricard gives her a practical view of both the technology and the commercial realities of getting products onto shelves and into people’s hands. In this conversation, we explore what becomes possible when every physical product has a digital identity. Camilla explains how QR codes powered by GS1 could connect packaging to richer information, trusted evidence and useful services; make products more accessible; and help brands engage people beyond the point of purchase. We also discuss why structured product data will matter when AI increasingly influences what people buy. A few themes you'll hear: · Why the next generation of barcodes is really about giving every product a digital identity. · How connected packaging can make the physical pack simpler while making richer information available when people need it. · Why QR codes can become a doorway to evidence, helping brands support sustainability and sourcing claims. · How digital product information can make packaging more accessible and enable greater independence. · Why brands need structured, trustworthy product data as AI begins to influence shopping decisions. · Where brands should begin ahead of wider point-of-sale adoption during 2027.

    30: Why Designing for the Average is Costing Your Brand with Alex Cleator

In this conversation, we explore why designing for the “average user” often excludes the very people brands are trying to serve, how inclusive research leads to better commercial outcomes, and why empathy alone isn’t enough. Alex explains how organisations can make people feel genuinely seen, heard and understood without adding unnecessary complexity, time or cost to the design process. A few themes you’ll hear: · Why human-centred design has become an overused phrase and how to make it meaningful again. · Why empathy only creates value when it becomes action through kindness. · How inclusive research uncovers opportunities traditional research often misses. · Why designing for accessibility from the beginning costs less than retrofitting later. · How inclusion creates better products, stronger brands and commercial growth.
