The authors of Brandsplaining Philippa Roberts and Jane Cunningham both began their careers working in advertising and communications agencies. As they rose through the ranks to become part of the leadership teams at DDB and at Ogilvy, they repeatedly noticed how female customers were perceived in ways that were - at best - inaccurate and - at worst – diminishing and dismissive. After over ten years of attempting to right the wrong from the inside, they decided enough was enough, and left to set up their own research company - PLH - with the specific intention of helping the marketing world better understand female audiences. In the years that have followed, they have spent almost every week enjoyably conducting research on behalf of a wide range of clients, exploring what women feel about themselves, and the businesses and brands that profess to serve them. They have been described as ‘the pioneers of marketing to women’ and The Times has written of their work: “Jane Cunningham and Philippa Roberts argued that marketing departments need to work much harder at understanding women’s motivations and decision-making systems. They won the argument. This is a crude generalisation, but not one, I think, with which most…will disagree. Creative briefs have radically changed to favour emotional intelligence and impact over rational, white-coated persuasion” They are also the authors of two books on marketing to women - Inside Her Pretty Little Head and The Daring Book for Boys in Business - and have regularly appeared in the media discussing the subject.
