Work hard and be nice to people: Values in marketing with Lisa Pearson.

Branding. Done.

In this episode we're joined by Lisa Pearson, ex head of Marketing for Arriva and Merlin Entertainments Plc (Blackpool Division), Board Member at The Women's Organisation and current Marketing Director at Open Media. Phew! Lisa, with her impressive portfolio of 22 career experiences, 12 volunteer roles, and 7 honours and awards, graces us with insights from her life and career, and her steadfast commitment to both professional and volunteer work.
From the corridors of banking to the vibrant world of media, Lisa has witnessed firsthand the evolution of brand values and propositions. Listen as she unravels the overhaul of brand guidelines and values at Open Media, a company flourishing under its impressive growth. Pay attention as she underscores the vital need for consistency in upholding these values across all departments, not just marketing, for a brand to truly bloom. This conversation promises to crack open a fresh perspective on the distinctiveness of personal and brand values apart from visual identity.
But, our conversation doesn't stop there. We venture into the terrain of hard work and personal goals. We discuss our thoughts on the mantra of 'work hard and be nice to people', and the joy derived from completing tasks or surpassing personal goals. Lisa generously passes on the torch to younger generations with her mantra - doing your best and striving for excellence. Brace yourselves for an engaging dialogue that dips into the depths of values and how they mould both individuals and brands.
