I’ve got some news to tell you. KickSo is evolving. We’re going international & beyond just the Dutch market. But doing what exactly? We’re still a marketing agency that’ll drive growth, revenue & profits for your brand… But we’ll also be expanding brands overseas & into new geographies. Which means… -> New customers -> More global influence -> More untapped growth We’re expanding what we do at our business but our #1 principle stays the same… And that’s delivering a world-class performance for our clients. Hence why we consider ourselves the “Outperformance agency”. You might also be thinking… Why the transition into English after writing in Dutch for so long? This change reflects the growth in our business. We’re taking on more international eCommerce brands as we scale. Including brands in the US,UK, Canada & Australia. All predominantly English speaking countries so I thought I’d take a few lessons… I’ll still be posting content in Dutch now & then because a lot of our current clients are based in the Netherlands. But we’re entering the next chapter of KickSo & I couldn’t be more excited!

Back today after a few days in Baku, Azerbaijan for #eid and there’s a new look in town 👀 A rebrand of our iconic brand here at Allsopp & Allsopp Group and with it, a new mantra “Keep Moving”. Why is a rebrand important? Owing the vigour and tenacity of our business it’s expected by our colleagues. It’s deserved of our clients. And moreover - if we keep moving at the rate we continue to, the whole industry levels up to an unprecedented place - A great for everyone 🏆 The investment both in time and money for this new era of A&A and the many businesses that sit within group is great to witness - not least because during my time at A&A, I’ve watched the brand grow and develop and it’s exciting to know that we’re not finished yet 👀 Stay tuned for more updates and if you’d like to work us into our next chapter (and we’ve got a lot going on - with many roles offline) DM me 📥 Baku updates incoming too - highly recommended 🇦🇿 #rebrand #recruitment #vacation #keepmoving #levelup #newjob

When I hire someone at F30 to welcome in our team, one broad thing I look for is if the applicant understands my vision for F30, the kind of agency I am building, or intend to build. Now, an applicant does not have a clear answer to this, so to break it down into identifiable markers, I look for the right attitude. If the person is dedicated, can commit to learning in addition to having knowledge, skills and soft skills. Skills can be taught, tools can be taught, softwares can be taught, but the attitude is something ingrained in a person, that's what I believe. F30 stands for a date- February 30 which is an impossible date in the calendar. The vision that I understand for F30 and it is inspired by Adidas tagline - Impossible is nothing. So if an applicant is willing to take up the challenges and willing to go that extra mile, I decide we will make a good team. #digitalmarketing #branding #advertising #hiring

How many times have I told you that Cazoo would never make it for the long haul? How many? Very many, that’s how many. And so it has come to pass with the news today (6th March) that founder Alex Chesterman has given up all hope of seeing Cazoo become a global (at birth) and when that didn’t work, a UK-only market leading purveyor of used cars. Here’s the plan. Cazoo is to run a fire sale of all its stock starting today and then turn itself into a pale imitation of Autotrader as a pure-play marketplace. What could possibly go wrong? And along with turfing out the stock goes CEO Paul Whitehead, who took over the top job from Chesterman in March 2023. He was previously Cazoo’s COO since its founding. No replacement has been announced – apparently Cazoo will be run by committee. That’s should work well, shouldn’t it! And just to top it all off, Cazoo will inevitably delist from the NYSE, which it joined in 2021 as a ‘back-door johnnie’ through a SPAC (aka weapon of value destruction) deal. Be reminded that Cazoo has never, ever made a profit. Frankly, I don’t think Cazoo will survive the transition. Give me a while to bask in the glory of self-righteousness and then I’ll rake over the ashes in a future post (sorry, I never put ‘humble’ in my LinkedIn profile). PS I do have to thank Chesterman, though, for his unerring support of the world's greatest sport, #snooker, for which Cazoo has been a loyal sponsor in recent years. No maximum break for him, I'm afraid. #usedcars

“Jerome! Can you help us to secure an official license with #StudioGhibli?” The answer, sadly is no. I’m a massive anime fan and even bigger fan of the greatest #anime film studio that has ever existed. But! I’m an even bigger fan of money. I can’t get enough of the stuff. Big fan. Bigly. I’ve come to learn that some things are more important to Japanese IP owners like the acclaimed #StudioGhibli than something as crass as turnover. Things like quality, consistency, stewardship and continuity matter as much if not more to these legacy brands. This is a company that once it has found a reliable partner it trusts is in no hurry to find more or go scouting for a “better deal” on the next film license. It’s why Ghibli’s European theatrical and home entertainment distribution partnerships have rarely changed since the release of Spirited Away at the beginning of the 2000s. It’s why there’s hardly any non-Japanese consumer products partnerships with Ghibli. And it’s why, when you’re in Japan you absolutely should acquire all of the Ghibli merch you can afford. I visited the GB store in Shibuya’s high-end #MiyashitaPark complex today. Prices for Mini-sculpts start at around $10-15 USD, with premium apparel like windbreakers and jeans starting at $150-$200 USD. All garments handcrafted in Japan. No fast fashion. Here’s a little video of some of their wares. Also! Don’t video or take photos in the store it’s not allowed and I was told off. Studio Ghibli do not do fast moving consumer goods. It goes against their brand values. #anime #licensing #consumerproducts #tshirts #FMCG #licensing #retail #products #fashion #studioghibli #japan
