“Birmingham is the ‘home-airport’ of Cadbury. You should paint the entire airport purple and create unseen magic. It is a fantastic brand building opportunity and we would benefit from it commercially as well.”

Tim Sargent Several meetings since 2012

“Closer collaboration and greater openness between Trinity partners is the key to sustainable investment and growth in our industry; Mondelez WTR has developed Trinity Engine application to help make this a reality.”

Anna Szentivanyi 18th September 2014 Trinity Forum 2014, Taiwan

“The Trinity Engine concept is inspirational and I believe it will help our industry to lift partnerships into a new level. In front of everyone, I challenge Mondelez WTR to use this thinking in practice in Birmingham.”

Inspiration & Advice

INSIGHT & SHOPPER Insight & shopper focused mindset kept all conversation focused, balanced and result oriented. BRAND Shoppers’ hearts are touched by a brand, make sure that the most relevant asset is activated. TRUST & COURAGE Speak up if an idea is ‘non-affordable’ and find solution together, or reject non-sustainable ideas. DRIVE TO SUCCESS Action plan will be produced by the brand owners team, take project leadership and ensure that you dedicate the right team

Inspiration & Advice

DEDICATED TEAM Have an aligned team of people with the energy and dedication to make a difference and really drive a project forward HONESTY Being open and honest with the team on what you can do and where concerns or risks are. FLEXIBILITY Be open to new ideas and ways of working. Be willing to adapt to these new ideas to enable them to work.

Inspiration & Advice

PERSERVERANCE We tried on many occasions to form such a trinity collaboration with Cadbury and for many reasons never seemed to get any motion- take the opportunity when it arises. OPEN DIALOGUE Never hold back on the facts, be open and honest from the offset to be clear about what is and isn’t possible and then deliver.. INVOLVEMENT Keep close to the project, drive from the front and demonstrate the importance from your part of the trinity.
