My Secret Work Weapon: Your children expose you to a variety of influences
My secret work weapon is having two kids. My six and eight-year-old girls have made me aware of the marketing opportunity presented by the virtual world.
Paul troy, director of consumer marketing, Moneysupermarket.com
Moshi Monsters is huge, for example; the next generation is totally comfortable with the digital space.
My kids also tell me about what they see on TV, and they absorb it all. What's really annoying is that they can sing the Gocompare.com jingle and they want a meerkat.
Because of my kids I watch things I never normally would, such as Despicable Me and The Muppets. You work in marketing, you watch TV, and it's really interesting to see that two girls bring such things to your attention.
I think it's really important for marketers to be regularly refreshed. It's like walking down Carnaby Street every day; the visual stimulus is there. It keeps you in touch.
