Liquid Death has done it again.. How to measure brand success beyond the standard ROI metrics. One of the questions at #DigiMarCon - My answer brand buzz. (Also employee engagement) Liquid Death and YETI have joined forces for a unique collaboration, offering a limited-edition casket-shaped cooler that's guaranteed to keep your drinks deathly cold but sure to raise a few eyebrows. ⚰️ Why partner? I recently road tripped around California and Canada and saw YETI everywhere (it definitely made me want every piece), from Yosemite to Tofino. These places scream adventure, with a side of health and ‘on trend’ thrown in. Perfect circles for Liquid Death. But beyond spiking interest for both brands… how can you expect your customers to be excited by you if you’re not doing something that its own hard working employees aren’t willing to shout about. Food for thought. 💭 https://lnkd.in/ediVQbDG #roi #marketingmeasurement #lifestylebrands #brandcollabs #marketing #brandpartnership #brandbuzz #employeeengagement

Just watched the interview with Publix Super Markets CEO Kevin Murphy, acknowledging Publix as winner of the 2024 Grocer of the Year award. 👏 We (grocery consumers) don't often consider grocery store jobs "quality jobs." But when... ... a 14-year old bagger works his way up and becomes the CEO ... promotion-from-within is the culture of the organization ... cashiers become millionaires... It's time to take some notes. Especially of note: Publix Super Markets is employee owned. Employees get employer-granted stock every year, and are part owners in the entire grocery chain. They don't have to buy stock. It's given in addition to regular wages and benefits. That's a practice started by the store's founder, George Jenkins, almost 100 years ago... When George Jenkins started the company in 1930, he had 3 management staff, and 6 associates. The 3 managers (he and 2 others) put money in that first store, buying stock in the company. But George wanted his store associates to have ownership too. He knew that when you own something, you work harder and take more pride in your work - you've got skin in the game. How did George do it? He gave his store associates a $2/week wage increase, and held that money. In 50 weeks, every employee in that store owned a share of company stock. At a time in US history when businesses were going OUT of business, and people were hunting for work, those 6 store associates became not just paid staff, but part owners in what would eventually become the largest ESOP in the United States. Because George was right: when employees have ownership, they build REALLY good businesses that thrive, grow, and out-compete the rest. Employee ownership is good for business, and it's good for workers. As Murphy states, if you're willing to come to Publix, work hard, and make the company successful - "you are going to benefit tremendously long term, because you are going to have ownership." And as we know --- ownership builds wealth. Kevin says it right there - at the 5:45 minute mark: Stock clerks and truck drivers and cashiers become #millionaires at Publix. Watch for yourself. #EmployeeOwnership works. Time to invest in the long game. Thanks Zoe Schlag for posting the video, posted again here: https://lnkd.in/eKWHrAWW
