S3 Ep18: A Fresh Take on Traditional Media: A panel of industry Leaders Explore the Evolution of Established Media
Traditional (or established) media is having somewhat of a resurgence, the pendulum is certainly swinging to a more balanced view. We have the likes of Nils Leonard celebrating the power of OOH, Mark Ritson telling us that if we allocate 11% of our marketing budget to radio advertising, the entire campaign’s effectiveness will double and Peter Field releasing Why TV is at the heart of effectiveness and NeuroInsight showing that a 30-second cinema ad had 1.75 times more chance of having its “intended impact” on memory and engagement than a 30-second TV ad. So it was time for That’s What I Call Marketing to sit down with leading industry bodies to get their take on the landscape, the challenges and opportunities faced by traditional media, innovative research studies, and the importance of measurement and effectiveness in advertising. Featuring insights from Jill McGrath of TAM Ireland, Aoibhinn Lennon from the Outdoor Media Association, Cassie Joyce of Pearl and Dean Ireland, and Ciarán Cunningham of Radio Centre Ireland, the discussion delves into how traditional media channels are adapting to digital transformations and the perceived effectiveness of digital vs. traditional advertising. The episode also highlights the need for marketers to be curious, challenge assumptions, and consider a balanced media mix to achieve brand success. Recorded at Poddle Audio

S3 Ep16: Curiosity United, with Ellie Norman
Today’s guest is the fascinating Ellie Norman, Chief Communications Officer at Manchester United. This is a wonderful story of embracing challenges, from diving into the marketing world without prior experience to leading innovative branding strategies at big brands. Ellie has worked for Honda, which must have been a dream job for someone who grew up loving motorised vehicles and Ellie certainly made the most of it as you will hear. Ellie totally changed direction going to Virgin Media and then the call came to lead marketing at Formula One, where Ellie set up the first ever marketing structure and helped transform the perceptions of the sport, and yes we do talk about Drive to Survive. In a fascinating next step Ellie took over marketing at the glorious Manchester United, and what is fascinating is Ellie had no real love for football, so we talk about what attracted her to the role at the greatest football club in the world (can you sense the bias!). This episode sheds light on the power of curiosity, the significance of building relationships, and the impact of strategic marketing in the ever-evolving world of sports and entertainment.
