David Blyth
The key to building a challenger brand
In Episode #36, Ross is joined by David Blyth, founder of DeltaVictorBravo and representative of eatbigfish across Africa Middle East.
David is an experienced strategy practitioner having led significant Brand, Insight, Marketing, People, Research and Technology projects across more than 20 countries. He is currently an MPhil candidate in Inclusive Innovation at UCT GSB.
Ross and David discuss the six traits of challenger brands, how you can become a challenger brand, and how authenticity can help us build better companies.
Highlights
Just like brands and companies, people need to have the right mindset about what could be rather than a preservation mindset or a victim mindset
To think less about resources and more about being resourceful is the kind of change we need to make in our heads
What does the world need right now? it needs more fresh, entrepreneurial thinkers who are willing to turn things upside down and change the status quo
The people in a company are more brand builders than anything else you do
Rather carve out deeper, more meaningful relationships with people who truly get you
Give guardrails but fewer rules to people, and more liberation to make their own decisions
