Continental divide: Consumer insights on how Canadians differ from Americans — and from one another
Casey Ferrell Scott Megginson For multinational companies, the Canadian and U.S. markets are often lumped together, driven by an assumption of market similarity. While it’s true they share much in common, we constantly see that brands, innovation, and advertising perform differently across these markets. To better understand these critical differences, Kantar Canada and Kantar Consulting collaborated on a study of more than 15,000 Canadians and Americans to identify critical differences in the consumer makeup and mindset. The result was Canada MONITOR, the first syndicated consumer insights service of its kind to enter the Canadian market in more than a decade. In this session, Kantar will share key findings on not only what sets the Canadian consumer apart from their southern neighbours, but also some of the key differences found within the Canadian consumer market across generations, regions, and cultural communities. Meet Casey Ferrell
He holds an MA in Journalism and Mass Communication from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill and lives in North Carolina.
Prior to joining Kantar, Lisa held progressive client-side Digital Advertising Insights roles with Rogers Communications Inc. in Toronto, Scripps Networks Interactive, NBCUniversal, and most recently, The Walt Disney Company in New York, NY. Lisa holds an Honours Degree in Business Administration from Ivey Business School at Western University in London, Ontario, and a Master of Science in Media Management from The New School University in New York City.
Scott spent the next 11 years in CPG with Warner Lambert (Adams Brands), and then PepsiCo Canada where he launched and Directed the Consumer Insights function for Pepsi/Quaker/Tropicana/Gatorade Canada. His work at PepsiCo was recognized with the Chairman's Award in 2008. Scott joined Kantar in 2010, as President of Millward Brown Canada, and now leads the recently combined Insights Division for Kantar Canada. He is a regular speaker at industry events, and currently Chair of the Dean’s Council for the Arts & Science Faculty of Queen’s University. |
