About the Speakers
New Product Award Winner – Britvic Ireland
Represented by
Dee Cunniam, Marketing Manager, Family & Kids
The dilutes soft drinks category has been in decline, and the marketing team at Britvic knew that increasing its dilutes business would require a focus on overcoming the main barrier which centres on health concerns. As market leader, MiWadi sought to drive category growth by offering consumers more choice. The Britvic team created MiWadi 0% Sugar, the only dilute brand in the market with zero sugar. The product launch was informed by extensive consumer participation, and backed by a comprehensive communications campaign, including partnering with Diabetes Ireland. Over the last year, the new product has delivered significant incremental sales and share.
Advertising Campaign Award Winner – Lidl
Represented by
Sian Gray, Head of Marketing and Suzanne Torsney, Acting Head of Advertising
Lidl traditionally faced major challenges over the Christmas period, with a limited range of branded goods and intense competitive activity vying for the Christmas shop. To drive relevance in the market, Lidl promoted two ranges of own brand that appealed to the trade up mentality, and set out to capture the hearts and minds of the Irish shopper with the ‘Homecoming’ advertising campaign, developed with the help of colleagues at Chemistry. This campaign focused on the Irish family Christmas, and the sense of place that becomes so poignant at Christmas time. The campaign gained the highest awareness of Christmas ads and drove a major uplift in sales.
eCommerce Award Winner – Littlewoods Ireland
Represented by
Rossa Bulter, Ecommerce & Marketing Manager and Fiona Lee, Digital Marketing Manager
Littlewoods Ireland has undergone a transformation from catalogue retailer through to being a customer- centred eCommerce player. This has required a complete overhaul of strategy, platforms, processes, operations and expertise to meet constantly evolving customer behaviours and expectations. In the past year, with many competitors moving their business online, Littlewoods responded with an innovative eCommerce, UX, personalisation and marketing strategy, delivering exceptional results and far outpacing the market growth rates and consolidating their position in the market as Ireland’s largest and most successful online retailer.
Marketing Team of the Year Winner – AIB
Represented by
Mark Doyle, Group Brands Director and Roisin Glynn, Head of Social Media
The AIB brand was toxic after the crash. But some believed that AIB should and could be turned around, and a Strategic Marketing function was established to be the catalyst for full-scale cultural transformation. AIB’s first CMO now leads a team of 120 professional marketers who together own the Customer Strategy and Design, a first for any bank in Europe. With a range of bold high-pro le initiatives underway, €4.6Bn returned to the state to date, a return to profitability, an uplift in NPS, and the highest brand equity score in the sector, marketing has proved its power and earned its place at the executive leadership table in AIB.
