From her impressive journey at companies like IBM, SAP, and Rackspace Technology, Zarina explains how the real power now lies in social media and user-generated content (UGC)—the authentic voice of the consumer.

🌐 INSIGHTS EVERYWHERE | Ep.006: STEP INTO THE NEW CONNECTED BAZAAR WITH ZARINA STANFORD Welcome to Episode 6 of Insights Everywhere, where our network of strategic and creative collaborators share their unique perspectives and experiences on the world of brand, design, marketing, and transformation. In this conversation between Wayne Guthrie and Zarina L Stanford, CMO of social commerce platform Bazaarvoice, discusses her career in marketing roles at some incredible technology companies, including IBM, SAP, Syniti, and Rackspace Technology - which has given her a ringside seat to witness what she describes as the evolution of marketing in the digital age. Zarina emphasizes how conversations are no longer one-way and brand-directed, but that consumers are engaging in one-to-one style public conversations with the world - shifting the power into the hands of consumers and thus user-generated content. These conversations online are what dominate the market and strongly dictate what people are saying and thinking about brands and products at large. And if harnessed correctly, can work wonders for your brand. For more tips from Zarina on how to view, approach and harness the power of social content and user-generated content (UGC) for your brand, view the full episode via the link in the comments 👇🏼.

By definition, what makes the Studio Everywhere process different is that it comes with a worldly perspective. That’s why we value Creative Director, Wayne Guthrie so highly. Australian by birth, he spent his late teens and early twenties roaming southeast Asia as a photographer before building an innovation agency in London and now, a creative consultancy in northern Italy. His unique worldview infuses curiosity, intelligence and originality into work that never fails to deliver, inspire and frequently, surprise.
