Journey
M
to a new
life
Mondelez International’s Anna Szentivanyi once gave up everything in search of a greater challenge. Although difficult, her journey had a sweet ending... naturally. By Wendy Gallagher
ore than seven years ago Anna Szentivanyi left her husband, her home, her country, her house, her close-knit family and a promising career in order to start a new life. She was only 25 years old. She bought a one-way ticket from Budapest to London, only the third flight in her life, and planned on taking language courses, delivering pizzas to earn income and see what the world had to offer. Szentivanyi’s journey certainly found her more than what she had planned. Today she heads up the customer marketing team for Mondelez World Travel Retail. She describes her departure from Budapest as “the hardest thing in my life”. Szentivanyi left a good job at Nestle Purina, which had great potential for advancement. She was in charge of branding for the company’s largest pet food brand in Hungary, a brand which generated half the company’s revenue. “I was very fortunate as I learned all aspects of brand management, and pet food is all about selling the emotion and promise without the opportunity to taste. I see lots of similarities in how chocolate gifting is
selected in travel retail. The recipient plays an important role in your life, and based on the store impact and brand promise, you make your choice about the chocolate gift.” While carrying a heavy workload at Nestle Purina, Szentivanyi (pronounced cent-e-van-e) worked out an arrangement with her university professor so she could study on weekends and at night to complete her Master’s Degree. After leaving Budapest, Szentivanyi was now alone in London, living in a rundown neighbourhood. She had to battle her doubts about her decision to re-locate. “But I kept going, and focused on giving my very best and trusted that it would be recognized,” she says. Although too stubborn to ask Nestle for a job in her new city, Szentivanyi knew she needed to work for a company that would offer her great challenges. She landed a job at Burtons Food, UK’s second largest biscuit manufacturer. A career in confectionery wasn’t what Szentivanyi had in mind as a young girl. Growing up in Nagyberki, a small town in the South of Hungary, and born during an era of communism, Szentivanyi dreamed of becoming a “powerful lawyer who wins in the court through logic and

argument.” Movies such as A Few Good Men increased her passion, but in the end, her love for math won out and by the age of 12 her career goal had changed to “Businesswoman...without knowing exactly what that meant!”
Szentivanyi was influenced by her grandfather who grew up in a time where it was almost impossible to get access to education for a non-upper-class child. “Therefore he pushed my dad and later me to seek a high level of education. He kept saying to me: ‘Little girl, you just need to study very hard and I know that you will succeed.’” Her grandparents “filled my early childhood with an enormous love” and their troubled life (The Second World War, dictatorship, terror, communism) taught her to “never give up.” Referring to her mother as her “rock” Szentivanyi says her mother opened her mind up for the wider world and travel. “She always talked about exotic countries which she only knew from books, which encouraged me to go out there and see them for the both of us. Now, when I travel for work she still researches every country and in this way travels with me. She has only dared to fly twice, either with me or to visit me. “Without any doubts my dad is the strongest shaper of my personality, and we are quite similar in temper. He was an engineer and led a team of over 100 people at the age of 24. This early great responsibility made him resilient.” Szentivanyi studied relentlessly and was accepted in the region’s toughest high school and later to Hungary’s top university for economics, Corvinus University of Budapest – formerly called Karl Marx University of Economics. “At the university I studied Finance, Business, and Management. I almost became a banker as I excelled in finance-linked subjects, but thanks to my traineeship I fell in love with Marketing, and therefore for my Master’s degree I focused on Marketing & Strategy.” Szentivanyi describes the husband she left behind in Budapest as “one of the smartest men I know. I admired him, and he positively influenced my personality from an early age. We were like best friends and very supportive to each other, but in the long run my role was mainly seen as a housewife, which scared me and made me run
Family influence
away. I felt that I owed it to myself to achieve something on my own.”
Only a year after arriving in London she got a call from a headhunter about a Senior Brand Manager role at Cadbury. “Even during the first interview I was amazed by the travel retail channel, and without truly understanding it, I felt it was my place to be. The advice from Steve Brock, Managing Director of Cadbury ITR at time, is still in my mind: ‘Anna be careful, travel retail is addictive, if you stay more than three years, it is painful to leave it behind.’ Well I am here after six years, so I took that risk.” Kraft Foods took over Cadbury in 2010. The leadership team of Kraft Foods was very keen to understand how shopper insight could be turned into sales, says Szentivanyi. Managing Director Andreas Fehr challenged her: “Give me a vision which tells us where the category can grow.” So she took that challenge and as the project became bigger and gained strategic relevance she was promoted to Category Development Manager. Shortly after that she took the lead of the global customer marketing function. “Today this team has eight fantastic team members who are all as passionate about shoppers as I am.”
Leaving TR is painful
Szentivanyi may be best remembered for announcing an ambitious program two years ago during the TFWA WE in Cannes. She made a bold prediction in front of more than 130 travel retail executives that the confectionery category would reach US $3 billion in sales in three years. “Indeed it was a very adrenalin-rich day, but the journey started far earlier,” she says. “It was on a snowy night in February when the financial calculation came together. I was so excited that I accidentally took a wrong train on my way home. And after I showed the plan to the wider team we felt that it was bold and could inspire changes in our industry. A very robust category vision presentation was ready by April, and we took this material to some of our key partners. Sometimes it sparked several hours of intense debate about the store and category.” The team saw a launch in Cannes as an event with limited time and the necessity to grab the

“It was on a snowy night in February when the financial calculation came together. I was so excited that I accidentally took a wrong train on my way home.” Anna Szentivanyi, Mondelez International attention of a high-profile audience and inspire them to unleash the confectionery category. “Of course I was nervous as I wanted everything to be perfect, and I was up since 4 a.m. to oversee technology and event details. I was very happy when we were on the stage and the presentation kicked off. The story touched the audience. Although it was a breakfast meeting, people stopped eating, started to make notes or record things. We discussed something relevant for their business and this is what we wanted.”
Confectionery sometimes an after-thought
Szentivanyi says that the biggest challenge in reaching the goal is getting the confectionery category on the strategic radar of all parties. “Even today we see shrinking space for the total category, and sometimes when a decision is made on store layouts we are an afterthought. If we want to drive unplanned visits into a store then we need to engage non-shoppers with the most universal and most impulse category, with confectionery, and this category has to be visible in the right location with the biggest footfall in the store. “When our stories are heard and our vision is implemented, we see changes and the total category’s sales growth starts to speed up. In 2012 it was only 2.3% growth on sales revenue vs. 2011 and later we saw an 8.1% growth in 2013 according to latest figures from Generation Research. This is rewarding to see such a trend which I believe is impacted by the increased focus from some retailers. We always assumed that year one would see lower sales growth, so I should be patient as well, even if it’s not in my nature and it hurts when I see missed opportunities.” With some retailers, with whom Mondelez had the opportunity to work closely, the market trend and the total growth of the category was
higher than the market growth, says Szentivanyi. “The Delighting Travelers presentation was taken to retailers and executives over the last two years, with more than 30 presentations taking place. Szentivanyi says she’s never had sweet tooth, so she can cope with the chocolate temptation around her on a daily basis. “But I cannot resist those products which have a little crunch or a salty taste. Toblerone Crunchy Almond is my absolute favorite from the current range, but starting in September, Milka Oreo tablet will overtake the number one ranking in my heart. I would take this with me on an island. There is a big demand for this item within our team and the poor brand manager needs to hide the preproduction samples from us.”
As for her many public speaking engagements she comments, “Well, I do love it. Of course the adrenalin kicks in when I step in front of the audience, but the energy rises as soon as I see a smile or I can see in people’s eyes that my story is relevant for them and offers them something new. We all sit through so many bad presentations with the same messages, so I always think about how my story can be new, different, engaging, and therefore it shows my respect towards the audience.” Now living happily in Switzerland, Szentivanyi can look back and be assured that the tough decision she made years ago, was certainly the right one. “At the end I succeeded and rebuilt my life while overcoming small and big bumps on the road, and now I know I made the right decision. I could not be happier with my job, I have a large circle of friends, and I am happily married.” For those who love fairytale endings, this one couldn’t be sweeter.

New launches expected to help overcome challenging year for Essence Corp.

and cosmetics distributor’s Executive Sales Director Antoine Bona. “Brazil currency is still high compared to 2011 and 2012. Argentinean and Venezuelan economies are more challenging. Recent tax reforms in Mexico have affected price positioning. Nevertheless we expect to have a more performing year than 2013.” Bona adds, “Consumers are more price conscious and are comparing pricing domestically and online. Some retailers have implemented pricing promotions that generate volume.” Along with airport and border stores, the cruise sector plays a key role for Essence Corp. and Bona says they are working closely with operators. “We saw a rise in sales last year due to this demographic. This year has been very positive for us with the cruise lines, but some ships are being repositioned from South America to other markets.” In addition to promotions in June and July for the World Cup in Brazil, Essence Corp. will launch Versace Bright Crystal Absolu in Brazil in August. Promotions are also taking place in Iguazu and Paraguay. The new Burberry Feminine will be launched in Brazil, Mexico, Canada and Caribbean in September. Montblanc Emblem will be launched throughout most of the region this month. This year Essence Corp. added Karl Lagerfeld Parfums (part of Interparfums group) to its portfolio. The brand was launched in La Riviera Panama at Tocumen Airport in March. Additional launches followed at La Riviera Bogota, Guatemala and El Salvador.

Louis Royer invests in Latam Anthony Rocher says buyers are surprised to find out a French Cognac company is expanding in the region.
L
ouis Royer Cognac has plans to expand throughout the Southern Cone.
Recently, the French company relocated Anthony Rocher to Montevideo, where he will act as brand ambassador and co-ordinate sales throughout the region. “I am a Frenchman with a special taste for sharing good wines and food with good people and a great desire to live in different countries, understand new cultures and adjust my way of living and seeing life. I have lived in India, USA and now I am in Montevideo… a small city with a big heart,” says Rocher. “I feel extremely blessed to be able to travel the world and share my passion with others. Cognac is probably the best ambassador for French gastronomy, and I feel extremely lucky to be the ambassador for one of the oldest and most recognized cognac houses.” Louis Royer is already present in more than 10 countries throughout Central and South America. Rocher is looking to expand Louis Royer’s presence in the market, both at border stores and in airports, taking particular advantage of Asian travellers to the region, whose numbers have been increasing in the past few years. “The borders are essential to reach out to the tremendous aspiring and emerging South American middle-class,” says Rocher. “Since I arrived in Uruguay, I have dedicated my time going to those borders and spending time training the staff and educating the consumers, and I have spotted an incredible potential.” Feedback from buyers has been excellent says Rocher. “A cognac company here in Uruguay? This is the reaction I get… not surprising. I truly believe we
are one of the pioneers. This is an opportunity. We believe in this market. We want to invest time educating the end-consumer and build long-lasting relationships with our local business partners.” Louis Royer Cognac dates back to 1853, when a young passionate beekeeper named Louis Royer started to produce cognac with the exact same passion and attention he gave to bees. There is a bee logo on each bottle, symbolizing the hand-crafted cognac. The Royer family has always been involved in the cognac production. Today, Jerome Royer (5th generation) is the Master Selector and Nicolas Royer, Jerome’s son, is joining the company to be an authentic brand ambassador in North America. In addition to its existing cognac range that includes a VS, a VSOP and an XO, Louis Royer is re-launching an orange liquor produced with cognac called La Belle Orange, as well as a Passion Fruit liquor called Intrigue. “We expect tremendous growth potential from these products: their sweetness, great quality price ratio and attractive packaging should easily meet the consumers’ expectations,” says Rocher.
