How is John Lewis changing? • Johnlewis.com was kept as a separate SBU to allow for rapid change, now it’s time for it to be more integrated (service, operations, stock & marketing) • Very real awareness of the need to be ‘multi-channel’ and not just ‘multi-distribution’ • The need for one view of customer and as consistent service as possible regardless of channel. Bringing the Partner difference to Johnlewis.com • Real desire to embrace the idea and implications of integrated marketing plans

  9. Search integration Brand • Brand bidding requires a focus on cost control and messaging • Full product listing allows us to tackle the ‘long-tail’ of search. This requires a lot of work due to size and churn of product offering • Linking with ABTL advertising is key for consistency and brand building. Vital to have close links between media buying & search agency • Links with seasonal events through PPC allow us to target ‘inspiration’ searches Product Advertising Inspiration
