Every brand had its own story for why it was underperforming, and the business needed to stop treating each one as its own fire to fight.","what_we_did":"We started by rebuilding how the business was actually steered: a new marketing operating model and processes, and clear KPIs benchmarked against best practice from other RB markets, covering in-store execution, promotions, above-the-line and digital investment. We drove the teams against that same standard across the whole portfolio, rather than letting each brand set its own bar. We also leaned hard into the OTC portfolio specifically, since it carried the best margins, and integrated two newly-acquired brands, Scholl and Durex, into that push. Alongside the strategy work, I restructured the marketing organisation itself, recruiting new talent where the team needed sharper skills to actually execute the turnaround, not just plan it.","what_happened":"The P&amp;L turned around, both top and bottom line. Finish, Airwick and Woolite went back to share growth. Dettol's whitespace launch reached the No. 2 share position within three months. And a new detailing strategy took the OTC business up 8%, with Nurofen and Strepsils each gaining a minimum of 300 basis points of share.\r\n\r\nTurnarounds are rarely one big move. They're a dozen ordinary decisions, made consistently, across a portfolio that's stopped agreeing on what \u201cgood\u201d looks like. Getting everyone pointed at the same KPI was half the job.","end":"","video":"","video_vimeo":"","call_to_action":"Sitting on a portfolio that needs the same discipline?"},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/consumemanagement.com\/sv\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/695","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/consumemanagement.com\/sv\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/consumemanagement.com\/sv\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/consumemanagement.com\/sv\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/consumemanagement.com\/sv\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=695"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/consumemanagement.com\/sv\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/695\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":696,"href":"https:\/\/consumemanagement.com\/sv\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/695\/revisions\/696"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/consumemanagement.com\/sv\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/890"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/consumemanagement.com\/sv\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=695"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/consumemanagement.com\/sv\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=695"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/consumemanagement.com\/sv\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=695"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
