In this episode, we are joined by Brent Smart, Chief Marketing Officer of IAG.
IAG is the Australian insurance giant with leading brands including NRMA and CGU. In four years, Brent has transformed the NRMA brand from the 36th strongest brand in Australia to become the third strongest brand in the country and the strongest insurance brand in the world! This brand strength has translated to commercial success - NRMA Insurance have won 3 coveted Gold Effies in the last 2 years.
Previously, Brent spent 20 years in the advertising business, rising to CEO of Saatchi & Saatchi New York and leading the New Zealand Agency of the Decade, Colenso BBDO.
In today’s episode, we cover:
- Brent’s fascinating career, unpacking what he learned from 20 years in advertising;
- Brent scrapping and recreating a $4M USD Superbowl ad three weeks out… with the client’s approval (find out what happens next!);
- Why Brent decided to swap the sneakers for a suit and move from agency CEO to CMO;
- How to foster a culture of creative risk-taking within your marketing team;
- How to get the best work from your agency partners by setting a high creative ambition and by “buying completely”;
- How to transform a team from a totally decentralised product-led marketing team into a centralised brand-led model; and
- Some of the interesting roles that Brent brought in house to strengthen the creative, strategic and marketing effectiveness firepower at his disposal.
If you have any interest in building an award-winning, risk-taking, brand-led marketing team that could totally transform your marketing approach- then this is the episode for you!
P.S. - If you’re from an agency, you might want to suggest that your clients listen to this episode!
