Business model transformation – Interview with Olivier Gimpel CMO at @3Suisses – a view from inside (MDE121)

Minter Dialogue Episode #121 

This interview is with Olivier Gimpel, CMO of 3Suisses, which is owned by the German Otto Group. Over the last year, 3Suisses, one of the leading catalogue companies in France (also selling in Belgium, Russia, Ukraine and Czech Republic), has undergone a total transformation, abandoning its paper catalogue to go 100% digital, as of this past September. It is a bold move, including a revisiting of its positioning, logo and team. In this podcast, Olivier goes over the key elements of this business model transformation, content marketing, their drive-to-web magalogue and some of the lessons learned so far. A huge gamble that will be well worth following. Below, you’ll find the show notes and, of course, you are invited to comment.
