Peix&Co at the WomenBuyingPower-Conference.
Gemma Cernuda presented The GenderFilter at the 1rst WomenBuyingPower Conference.
Copenhaguen gathered almost 100 women&men to understand how to market to women .
Freezing for a Spanish and warm for a Sweedish was the beautiful city of Copenhaguen on March the 2nd, when I landed in Denmark. And there were 2 exciting days waiting for me ahead in the city of the little mermaid that also gave some time to go jogging around the beautiful lakes to enjoy its beauty and landscape.
It was a 3 day conference with 20 different speakers from Denmark, Sweeden, Netherlands, UK, Germany, France, Spain… That aproach the diffrenet ways brands, services and companies should consider women needs, perspective and values in order to design , communicate, produce and explain their products and services.
I had the enourmous priviledge to be part of it, from the beggining, becous the 3 women founders and creators of the Conference wanted my advise from the very beggining. Tatiana, Camilla and Bodil have their innovation&communication businesses in Swedden and we met 3 years ago in Chicago at he Marketing To Women Conference.n There I explained that I organised the 1rst International Conference on feminine marketing in Barcelona in 2010 www.rethinkher.com and they were realy willing to do that in northern Europe as a more holistic approach. Contemplating ; design, enginering, marketing, brandinf, sales, production, service…
I was presenting for the first time internationaly the pioneering service called The GenderFilter; that Peix&Co and Ellas deciden have developed to help brands to connect better with both men&women. I exlained the SEVEN FILTERS that every product, service, campaign and brand should pass and succed in order to be successful in the market and be accepted and desired by women and men. The Presentation is here.
Here there is also my own brefing and kind of «WomenBuyingPower Manifesto » that I wrote in form of 42 tips to bring back home and improve my business:

Something like a EU femBOARD to assist companies and share cases and insights among us. We’ll be working on that and posting the evolution of this exciting and challenging idea.
Have a great week and thank you for giving me some feed-back!
