Business
Sienne Veit, (Director, Digital at John Lewis) and Alexandre Meerson (founder of the eponymous Meerson brand) join us the studio to chat over a range of topics - although we keep coming back to love! Sienne's role covers a very wide brief and is central to John Lewis' drives to be a multichannel, digitially-enabled, customer-centred business. We learn about the role, and the John Lewis approach to innovation, plus the role of digital in the UK's favourite retailer. Alexandre then takes us on a creative and commercial journey - a rare and privileged insight into the founding of a brand, the obsession with design and experience, and how to grow a brand that was born digitally yet is rooted in the personal and the exceptional. Run time: 45 minutes.
