Saturday 12th August marked International Youth Day🌍 No Limits, our Employee Resource Group (ERG), ensures age inclusivity for all at Kantar. Chair Mark Whiting shared a few words to acknowledge the occasion. "One in ten of our Kantar colleagues are aged 25 years and under, so the UN's theme of developing the green skills of younger generations is important this year, especially when highlighting the need for environmentally sustainable decisions in the workplace." #WeAreKantar #InternationalYouthDay
Kantar recently launched the 2023 #KantarBrandZ Most Valuable Global Brands report with an online event that attracted 5000 people and worldwide media coverage. Martin Guerrieria, Head of Kantar BrandZ, comments: “While the broader business landscape has been greatly impacted by global macroeconomics, consumers’ view of brands has proved far more stable – the most valuable brands in the world remain as highly regarded as ever. The lessons for brand owners and marketers remain clear; effective marketing investment and long-term thinking are vital to your business’ growth prospects. Those brands consistently investing in establishing strong consumer connections are much better placed to navigate the current volatile conditions and deliver greater resilience for their shareholders.”
On Saturday 1st July, our UK Kantar family marched in the London Pride Parade for the first time. 50 of our people united to support the LGBTQIA+ community in a great display of allyship, friendship and kindness.
