How Brands Can Stay Authentic in a Crowded Market with Paolo Narag
In this episode of The Marketing Rapport, host Tim Finnigan sits down with Paolo Narag, Global Brand Director at Procter & Gamble, Gillette, to discuss the evolving role of authenticity in branding. Paolo shares how understanding the “why” behind consumer behavior—social, functional, and emotional—can drive innovation and deeper connections with customers. He emphasizes the importance of staying consumer-centric and using data to enhance, rather than overshadow, human insights.
Paolo also highlights how Gillette integrates authenticity into product development by starting with real-world context. He explains how AI tools complement qualitative research, allowing teams to iterate and accelerate while maintaining the brand’s core identity. The conversation touches on how blending technology with personal observation ensures marketing efforts remain grounded in consumer needs.
Tim and Paolo reflect on the power of storytelling, the role of brand benefits, and the importance of staying bold without losing sight of a brand’s identity. Paolo shares lessons from past campaigns and previews what’s ahead for 2025.
