Every Tuesday afternoon we put one of currently 35 products or services into a random generator. One of us writes the brief - then each of us has a 30-60 min brain storm to identify problem, audience, insights for brand, community, culture or social. What is our action and what does success look like for that company? This week’s business A butcher who flips to Vegan. It was a family owned business for 78 years before the owner retired and passed it onto his daughter. It has a solid customer base, in a popular shopping strip. It doesn't have a super typical butcher layout and everything is nicely on display with a great layout and decor in the shop. The new owner is pivoting to Vegan as she’s seen first hand the cruelty to animals. She wants to keep current customers as well, but isn’t fussed if they only eat one bit of vegan meat. Her ultimate goal is to change people’s behaviour.

What is our action and what does success look like for that company? This week’s business What is it The project website went live last year and is called Office Health (officehealth.com.au) and our primary presence is on Instagram. The objective of Office Health is to create a network of products and services that makes Australian workplaces a healthier, pleasant place to work by: Asking employees about their workplace and finding out information about its health and well-being initiatives Researching and approaching workplaces to understand the initiatives they offer to employees Finding out what makes office workers happy and finding ways to impact change. Audience Employees: people who work in the office who are looking to live a healthier lifestyle Haven't thought much about their health and well-being Employers of small to medium-sized companies in Australia Employers who can make decisions (budget holders) on behalf of their companies to make orders or bookings for items such as snack boxes or speaker presentations Why? Reports show that health, well-being and wellness in the workplace are getting more important and receiving more attention globally and in Australia. There are currently businesses in Australia that: deliver fruit and snack boxes allied health professionals who do mobile visits to workplaces offering remedial massages, physio services etc wellness speakers being hired to give presentations in workplaces. There is a business opportunity to create a space where our two groups of audiences can go to manage their health and well-being needs when it comes to their health in the office. Currently, the Office Health website is a landing page directing users to complete a survey so we can gauge the audience and the effectiveness of health and wellness in their workplaces. The site can potentially expand to become a platform for users to find out information about the state of health and wellness in the Australian office landscape, see lists of health and services providers that can do office visits or more. Competitors We can potentially look into providing a listing on our website of Australian companies similar to Glassdoor, focusing on company data around health and wellness.

Two podcasts in two days! In this episode we discuss Instagram removing influencers’ branded posts that advertise vapes, tobacco, and weapons, Spotify prototyping a new way to see what friends have been listening to, called “Tastebuds,” and we poll our votes for what we think is Marketing Week's best marketing campaign of 2019 (https://www.marketingweek.com/the-best-marketing-campaign-of-2019-finals/).

After a longer than anticipated break, Dan, Nick, Jarahad AND Kristen are back in an anger-fuelled podcast. Mainly about the latest Hyundai ad (https://twitter.com/LaurenGasser/status/1206633173297385473). Is it possibly the worst ad of 2019? We think so. We also chat about another terrible ad by Uncommon (https://www.campaignlive.co.uk/article/beach-everythings-better-beach-uncommon/1668813), Instagram flagging potentially offensive captions before they're posted by users and key marketing trends for 2020. We also answer some listeners questions. Enjoy! Get in touch with us: www.haarper.co hello@haarper.co Follow us: www.instagram.com/haarperco www.facebook.com/haarperco twitter.com/haarperco
It's that time of year when Spotify releases their individual user wrap up of the year. We chat through that and the ponder the amount of data necessary to produce these kind of summaries. Jarahad and Nick share some of their stats (Dan doesn't because he thinks he's too cool for Spotify and uses Apple Music instead). We discuss whether social media platforms should have verification for all users and we all finally agree on something! We all think the backlash Peloton has received over their new ad is not warranted. What do you think? See was all the fuss is about here:  https://www.nytimes.com/2019/12/03/business/peloton-bike-ad-stock.html Get in touch with us: www.haarper.co hello@haarper.co Follow us: www.instagram.com/haarperco www.facebook.com/haarperco twitter.com/haarperco

In this episode, Dan, Nick, Jarahad AND Kristen talk Black Friday (week) sales, feedback from the Audi ad we spoke about in Episode 20, the new Maccas ad (http://bit.ly/2YbUq1l) and why we don't subscribe to publications.  In the next episode, we'll discuss this campaign by The Good Organisation.  https://www.linkedin.com/posts/seed-to-branch_seethingsdifferently-homelessness-homeless-activity-6605764872661803009-kXeA What are your thoughts on it?

Is Black Friday still what it used to be? Dan, Nick and Jarahad have their own opinions on this and how to stand out when it seems like every brand has jumped on the Black Friday bandwagon. We also chat about Netflix leasing out cinemas and what this means for the future. And things get serious when we argue over whether or not the new Audi RS6 Avant ad hit or missed the mark.

It's Friday and we're ending the week with another podcast. In this episode, Dan, Nick and Jarahad chat about Spotify's personalised podcast playlists, Google restricting political ads and how marketers can Overcome short-termism.  "The August 2019 CMO Survey asked U.S. marketing leaders: “How much time do you spend managing the present versus preparing for the future of marketing in your company?” Overall, 341 leaders responded by reporting they spend 68.5% of their time “managing the present” and only 31.5% of their time “preparing for the future.” This finding holds across company size, sector, and industry."

We chat about Nike pulling away from Amazon. Does this mean Amazon will be playing in a ‘grey area’ - counterfeit products etc.? Why aren’t we using apps like Apple Health and Fitbit to help us stay healthy? Surely sending information to our doctors is the future, no? QUICKFIRE: how do we really solve people’s problems? We use sport as a quick example.

In a very exciting episode today we had not one but TWO special guests. Alysha Yuille - VP Content, Carat New York. And our very own Kristen Gallagher - Head of Group Accounts, decided to join for her inaugural episode. Alysha started her career at Bauer (formally ACP Magazines) before taking a leap of faith and moving to New York City. Landing a role at TIME, Alysha then moved over to the agency side working at Storylab and after 6 years in NYC is now VP of Content at Carat heading up the Proctor and Gamble account. In our 5 minute (turned 30 min) chat we talked about short term-ism in the USA vs Australian markets, the current role of influencers in the greater marketing mix, celebrity vs influencer, brands and their voice in social responsibility and really how important are advertising awards? After this podcast, Dan is also considering making Alysha an offer of employment to work at haarper. Either that or a team work trip to NYC might be in order to learn more from our Carat counterpart. So watch this space. Get in touch with us: www.haarper.co hello@haarper.co Follow us: www.instagram.com/haarperco www.facebook.com/haarperco twitter.com/haarperco
