Today we’re spotlighting some of our most popular conversations of 2024, featuring the business strategies, campaign studies and winning tactics from marketing teams at Meta, Doritos, Morgan Stanley, Pourri and ADT.

--

META

When Meta activated for marketers, brands and creatives during the Cannes Lions International Festival of Creativity in June, it tapped the creative vision of Es Devlin, a world-renowned stage designer behind Instagram’s critically-acclaimed Storyscape activation at the 2018 festival. We spoke with Damien Baines, Meta’s Head of Experiential & Creative, Global Experiences, about the inspiration behind the activation, the film’s themes and the project’s business strategy.

DORITOS

Doritos launched its first international brand platform earlier this year, “For the Bold in Everyone,” which champions self-expression, defying stereotypes and leaning into your passions. But this time, the target wasn’t primarily Gen Z. The star of this creative was a grandma fulfilling her dream of driving a Monster Truck. Here’s our chat with Fernando Kahane, Head of Global Marketing for Doritos, about the brand’s segmentation strategy, driving local relevance and collaborating with creators.

MORGAN STANLEY

Alice Milligan, CMO at Morgan Stanley, had an atypical career journey to the C-suite. She left home at 19, worked a paper route, took a camp counselor gig and went to night school before landing a job in financial services. We spoke extensively with Milligan about her rise to the top, philosophies that guide her, how she markets to younger customers, leveraging emerging technologies and cultivating talent.

POURRI

When odor elimination product Poo~Pourri rebranded to the more odor-agnostic ~Pourri a few years ago, it by no means left its original brand identity behind. It now offers numerous odor-killing varieties, but the Poo~Pourri product, invented by founder Suzy Batiz, remains the OG—and continues to fuel its creative. We spoke with ~Pourri CMO Shawn Patel about its success activating at SXSW, the brand’s marketing journey, his strategy for growth and building a digital community.

ADT

Though celebrating 150 years in operation in 2024, security company ADT continues to evolve and innovate within its category. It’s in the midst of a marketing transformation that encompasses technological innovation, new media allocation, customer communications and—most importantly—its go-to-market strategy. We spoke with DeLu Jackson, Executive Vice President and Chief Marketing Officer at ADT, about the transformation, innovations, customer journeys, demand planning and DEI strategy.

Until next week,
