International Insight Manager Stores, Costa, UK Darja started her career with a brief stint in Channel Marketing for Xerox, before moving to a research role in a Consumer Research agency. The move to agency-side was somewhat unplanned, however proved a good fit as it satisfied the natural curiosity Darja has for understanding consumer behaviour and growing brands. Having developed her research skills within grocery, retail and service industries, International projects proved of most interest and after more than 5 years in agency-side, Darja sought a new challenge. The move to client-side felt to be the right fit as it not only allowed her to apply knowledge she gained working for different clients and industries, but also outlined new areas for development outside of research. Darja is currently working as International Insight Manager for Costa where she works on helping the business understand markets and customers and develop the Costa brand globally. Hazel Barkworth Cultural Insight Associate Director, Added Value, UK Hazel joined Added Value in 2011, after spending a time in the worlds of copywriting and innovation at Pearlfisher, Innocent drinks and What If Innovation.

SPEAKER ABSTRACTS Like, Share & Retweet How to make your insights go viral Sam Lipscomb, Senior Account Executive, BAMM Ltd, UK In 2014, Shell commissioned BAMM to conduct exploratory research to understand the complex interplay between the environment, customers and staff of Shell stations across the globe. BAMM carried out research in 4 key markets, employing a combination of digital ethnography, filmed customer journeys, and documentary journalism, to capture the daily routine of the stations, and to uncover the staff's motivations as well as the challenges they face. This presentation explores how documentary journalism provides a powerful tool for the collection and dissemination of insights within a global organisation. It demonstrates how multiple visual assets can be used to captivate and excite stakeholders, and it introduces new opportunities for insight teams and agencies to create global impact. Understanding Women How Diageo learned to speak in 'unisex' Christene McCauley, Global Consumer Planning & Research Director, Diageo, UK Hazel Barkworth, Cultural Insight Associate Director, Added Value, UK 51% of people in the world are women, but Baileys is the only brand in Diageo s portfolio that recognises them as a consumer. It was time for a new perspective and Diageo came to us to help them open their eyes to what women really want (everything). Using a multi-layered approach to uncover how Diageo could talk to women, without alienating men, we travelled and met women and their friends. We used semiotics to expose the secret language of women. We made films. We developed six killer principles for marketing to women, developed ideas that are already in market and created one of the most inspiring presentations the Diageo Exec board had ever seen (their words not ours). Creating a real impact across the business inspiring the development of Nola, Johnny Walker and Bailey s re-positioning.
