Caitlin Blewett is a fierce believer that bold brands build strong businesses. As the CMO at Genpact — named one of the World’s Best Employers by Forbes for three years straight — she understands how important internal branding can be to driving healthy and productive cultures. Caitlin joins the On Scope podcast to give listeners a behind-the-scenes look at her company’s practical approach to AI implementation, which is powering both their cultural and bottom-line success.

Along with host Mike Berberich, Caitlin covers the signals she and her team look for when determining if a function of the business is ready for AI implementation, how marketers can approach maintaining brand differentiation in AI’s growing “sea of sameness,” and how employees of all levels can work to convince leaders caught up in the AI hype cycle that a thoughtful approach is more beneficial.

On This Week in ANA Magazine, magazine editor Matthew Schwartz, joins Mike to outline the ways in which several B2B brands are once again borrowing from a B2C playbook by leaning into influencer marketing. Matthew shares real-world examples and best practices for business marketers to keep in mind.

Brand Finance’s Alfred DuPuy is a brand strategy and valuation executive with more than 15 years of experience driving revenue growth, enhancing client relationships, and leading high impact global teams. He is on an ongoing mission to provide clarity to marketers, brand owners, and investors by quantifying the financial value of brands. As a part of that mission, he joins the On Scope podcast to help marketers understand why they’re thinking about brand value all wrong.

On the debut of a new segment called Measurement Defined, Kevin Svenningsen, SVP of Measurement for Marketers at the ANA, joins Mike to define and discuss five key retail media terms every marketer needs to know, including “percentage of new buyers,” “upsell,” and more.
