Do you want to see something so chock full of joy that you'll think Christmas (yes, it's December, we're allowed to mention that word) really has come early... OF COURSE YOU DO! 😄
We're over the moon to share the official video with you for the Active Suffolk Awards 2024!
Those who were able to join us on the night know how much of a wonderful occasion it was, but if you want to relive it, or you perhaps weren't able to join us this time around then please do check out the video below ⬇️✨
Sunday was St Patrick’s day. A global day of celebration of Irish culture which feels like it’s getting bigger each and every year in its scale.
So what better day to jump in, join the fun and see if you can get people to reappraise what they drink … and whether there might be more than Guinness to enjoy.
That’s what Kahlua did. And people loved it.
🎉 The atmosphere/ambience, infectious enthusiasm, jolly
🎻 The music (contributing to the above)
🤣 Funny - the story, the facial expressions, the Tucan, the twist
😯 Surprise/curve ball - the moment of him turning round with a cocktail, the play on Guinness
🍸 The twist on tradition and acceptance - celebrating non conformity, affectionate
It also gives them a powerful positive association or space to be part of the big event. Being a part of St Patrick’s day.
This all meant that the ad was seen as incredibly well loved, resonant, highly distinctive and really did make people who wouldn’t have considered Kahlua pre seeing the ad actually want to try it. Only 3% considered the brand before being exposed to the ad in the middle of programming surrounded by other ads …. And after, 22% would consider it.
Now to the elephant in the room. Not everyone realised or remembered it was a Kahlua ad. We show the ad as part of an ‘ad break’ with other ads in the middle of programming then ask what brands people remember being advertised. The number mentioning Kahlua is less than we’d often see. BUT - there is an additional 10% who talked about espresso martini (which benefits Kahlua).
Inevitably …. There are also 7% who remember Guinness.
Now we could see that as a really bad thing … or we could weigh up a few things:
- It’s a smaller brand. They have a lot to gain by being part of St Patrick’s day, being another drink to consider, being humorous, being an accepted drink.
- The way it positions Kahlua cleverly as an alternative. An attractive one. A fun one. An accepted one is very clever.
- Is Guinness really a competitor? Or given the number who do get the brand, is attaching the love so many feel for Guinness powerful?
- Could Kahlua habit stack on Guinness as James Clear would say? When you’ve had enough Guinness you move seamlessly to Kahlua or an espresso martini
I say well done to Kahlua, Pernod Ricard and Wieden + Kennedy

Our brilliant Strategy Director, Sarah Clarke, is sharing the key insights picked up from her recent experience as a judge at the #MediaWeekAwards.

Business Director, Data & Strategy ✨ Master of BS 🧠 Marketing Detective 🕵️♀️
Had the pleasure of judging some great categories for the Media Week Awards over the last few weeks. Judging awards is one of my favourite things to do and I learnt a lot from judging this round of awards, including:
- It's not always the most innovative or creative campaigns which grab my attention. Sometimes these are so focused on the big idea that they lose sight of the story of the campaign, so I'm left wanting more from the entry
- On the reverse of this, sometimes too simple isn't enough. I want something that's different and fresh, but that doesn't mean reinventing the wheel. It just means approaching a problem in a new and interesting way and telling this clearly and succinctly in an award entry
- I always want to see the impact. Whether that's media metrics, behaviour change or brand familiarity and awareness, include these key elements so that judges can really see the impact from the campaign
I can't wait for the in-person judging day in September 🤓

CRYPTOCURRENCY & REYGITONIUM-G
TO WHOM IT MAY CONCERN:
I ABSOLUTELY SEE NOTHING WRONG WITH CRYPTOCURRENCY: REYGITONIUM-G
I CAN UNDERSTAND WHY THE INFANT DEMOCRATIC-CAPITALISTIC MINDS OF TODAY BLAME USA GOVERNMENT. THEN IS ANY GOVERNMENT TO BE BLAMED FOR HOMELESS PROBLEMS PLAGUING THE WORLD.? NO. GOD KNOWS HEADACHES USA GOVERNMENT HAVE WITH THE FOREIGN AFFAIRS. THE NEW WORLD PRACTICALLY SHOCK TO WITNESS. PEOPLE ONLY WORKING TOGETHER FOR A COMMON GOAL.
"IN THE PURSUIT OF HAPPINESS." DOESN'T THAT ALSO INCLUDE THE HOMELESS.
THE HOMELESS ARE OUT THERE.
ARE YOU.?
HOMELESS.. OPPORTUNITY MISUNDERSTOOD.
The modern economic system is a market economy, which is a capitalist economy where people, not the government--NOT THE GOVERNMENT--own most businesses. In a capitalist economy, prices allocate capital and labor between competing uses, and capital assets can be privately owned and controlled.

EXAMPLE, IF YOU NEED TO RAISE MONEY FOR ANY REASON OR MORE SO LETS SAY THE "HOMELESS" PROBLEM WHICH IS BELIEVED TO BE TIME & MONEY CONSUMING BUT IN ONE DIRECTION TOWARD THE HOMELESS.
HOWEVER CRYPTOCURRENCY CAN POSSIBLE ALLOWS AN EXPENDITURE OF CURRENCY TO BENEFIT ALL WHO USES THE CRYPTO & REGARDLESS OF HOW IT'S CONSUMED.
THEREFORE IF A CRYPTO HOMELESS CURRENCY REYGITONIUM-G EXISTED IT'S MORE HIGHLY LIKELY THAT THE HOMELESS PROBLEM CAN BE VANQUISHED BECAUSE CURRENCY-FINANCES IT'S ALWAYS AVAILABLE TO BE TAPPED INTO FOR HOMELESS RESOLUTIONS.
REYGITONIUM-G: EACH COUNTRY GOVERNMENT
INITIAL $1-DOLLAR INVESTMENT PORTFOLIO OF 8-BILLION EARTH CITIZENS. THEREAFTER GLOBALLY ANYBODY CAN INVEST IN THE CRYPTOCURRENCY REYGITONIUM-G.
OR CONTINUE HIDING THE HOMELESS WHEN A POLITICAL LEADER VISITS AMERICA.
CLOSING COMMENT:
THE DAMNEDEST CRAZIEST FUNNIEST EMBARRASSING ABOUT THE HOMELESS CHAOS IS ANY EXCUSE AS TO WHY HOMELESS EXIST. HENCEFORTH CONSIDER USA TRILLIONS IN DEBT & 6,120 HOSPITALS SCATTERED AROUND THE USA & MANY COUNTRIES ASKING FOR FOREIGN AID IN THE TRILLIONS & YOU TALKING EXCUSES.
MEANWHILE WE WANT TO SETTLE HUMANITY ON OTHER PLANETS.

Our June issue is HERE, including lots of options for your summer nights, from outdoor dining and night hikes to concerts and movies under the stars.
In addition, read how local leaders helped turn #Juneteenth into a community-wide celebration, how true believers keep the beat of jazz and support musicians, and how #privatebarrel options are changing how we drink, and so much more!
In competitive markets, clients can see us as technically alike, so how do we differentiate ourselves, how do we help people trust us, how do we show up at our best?
An ex actor and now executive coach and facilitator, I shared 3 simple skills through interactive activities and games (because we learn best by doing!) at Successo Network’s 1st birthday, on how to create impact, how to make your message stick and how to build trust.
🙂 First impressions count so set a positive mindset. This is the one that works for me, ‘what would it be like when everything goes well?’
🎹 Music, words & dance - use open gestures and open body language (dance), purpose in the words you choose (words) and passion in how you say them (music).
✅ Structure - a hook (a question, statistic or surprise work well), the power of 3 (reduce your message to 3 things, less is more) and tell us a story, because we all connect when struggle transforms to success!

Thank you so much to those who joined us for our one year of Successo celebrations last night!

The feedback from last nights event has been amazing and we're so grateful to be able to work with great speakers and put these events on.
A big thank you again to TCNUK Newark Works for hosting us and to University of Bath School of Management Help to Grow programme for sponsoring our event.
