The CMO Podcast

Description

This week, Jim welcomes Isabelle Sakai–the Global Chief Marketing Officer of Vancouver-based Mark Anthony Brands–to The CMO Podcast. The company was founded in 1972 by Anthony von Mandl. Mr. von Mandl’s is a classic entrepreneurial story; at 22, he began selling imported wines out of his car, and now the company–which is still private–is estimated at about $4 billion in revenue. Mark Anthony Brands is best known for its top selling consumer brands, White Claw and Mike’s Hard Lemonade, but they have a much larger portfolio, including a variety of higher-end British Columbia wine labels. Isabelle has worked at Mark Anthony for about 16 months in her second CMO role. She was previously the CMO at the Bata Group, a multinational footwear, fashion and accessories company, based in Switzerland. Isabelle and Jim have a shared experience; she spent nearly 18 years at P&G in Europe, whereas Jim spent five of his P&G years in Europe. Open a crisp White Claw, find a seat in the sun, and enjoy a conversation with a professional who loves to move fast.
