  • Procter & Gamble France - Senior Consultant & Coach

    Asnières-sur-Seine 2000 - 2009 PROCTER & GAMBLE FRANCE – Global marketing

    Senior Manager European Consumer Innovation Discovery Group

    Consulting + coaching business Teams to grow Brands via in-depth consumer and cultural understanding. 20+ projects in 10 (mostly Western European) countries with over 450 P&G/Agency partners. Key franchises: Ariel/Dash, Swiffer, Alldays, Bold/Dash 2in1, CPG, Lenor, Ace, Iams, Always, Alldays, Mr Proper/Flash.

    KEY ACHIEVEMENTS

    Led Bootcamp* design and process: several 3-days sessions with Business Teams (20+ people) over a 6 to 9 month period; helped generate and integrate consumer learnings into copy and initiatives; inspired new equity pyramid, communication campaign, brief for copy and visual identity, concept for new initiative. Results feature major and sustained share growth and top scoring/award-winning new advertising campaigns. Some examples: Lenor (GE/UK) new campaign, +15 pt share in 3 years and Brand position from #4 to #2 in Europe; Bold UK: +7 pt share and market leadership.

    Created and led ad-hoc “re-diving” project for fast & deep Bootcamp learnings experience of Brand Teams renewed since previous Bootcamp (Ariel GE/UK, Dash IT); shared past knowledge via consultant independent work and designed working sessions. In a short time (1 to 2 months) this work allowed reframing of equity, strategic benefit and Brand character, new advertising ideas (e.g., “luminosity” for Dash IT, leveraged for Ariel Southern EU marketing and External Relations), and top scoring copies/campaign (+ 7 pt. share Ariel Germany).

    Conducted strategic consultant work for different project Teams: i) fine-tune Brand equity, generate insights for future copy campaign development (Infasil IT); ii) revise and re-test copy and launch proposition and conduct full-fledged visual identity work (new project for DACH); iii) gather cultural perspective and unbranded learnings about feminine dynamics (Delighting the Women we Serve FR/IT; Always – GE/FR/UK)

    Designed and led cultural analyses in Advertising/Marketing corporate projects (develop winning advertising) to revisit P&G’s paradigms about advertising and consumers via extensive analysis of consumer material (several studies in different areas) and cultural/historical understanding (books and articles), leading to simplified “model” to help understand women (GE, IT, UK, FR). Fully deployed across and integrated by GBUs and MDOs.

    * “Bootcamp” is a proprietary P&G process geared to accelerate share growth via significantly expanding the Company’s knowledge of the deeper meaning of its top Brands, using state-of-the-art consumer exploratory techniques.
