Learning from Leaders Webinar Series

The Yale Center for Customer Insights is excited to announce our upcoming session of the Learning from Leaders (LFL) Webinar Series on Tuesday, May 18, 12:00-1:00pm EST.  The series will feature leaders in academia and industry across marketing functions sharing their expertise on the changing world of marketing and insights and will be open to the general public. Registration is required.

The role and expectation of the marketing function has experienced tremendous change in recent years precipitated by a renewed focus on brand purpose and an explosion of technological advances that put the consumer at the center. While generating meaningful consumer insights has always been paramount to the success of marketing, the changes brought on by COVID-19 are challenging the status quo in the Insights function, and forcing leaders to ask the question, “What should we keep doing, and what needs to be transformed?”

 In this session of the LFL series, insights industry veteran Stan Sthanunathan will do a deep-dive into his approach at Unilever, working proactively to enhance the relevance of the function, while also looking ahead to where the world of insights is going next.
