She helps clients develop the new brand skills and digital mindsets required to move forward, finding paths toward uncommon growth. She\u2019s a future-ready strategist, balancing discipline, customer insight and curiosity. (Her three teenage sons also provide plenty of balancing practice at home.) Before joining Prophet, she was a partner at Kantar. She also ran her own consulting firm, focusing on consumer-led thinking. And she\u2019s held key brand leadership positions at Diageo and Reckitt Benckiser, working on such brands as Tanqueray, Smirnoff and Lysol. Kate earned a bachelor\u2019s degree in psychology from The University of Sheffield. When she\u2019s not working, she\u2019s probably watching her kids\u2019 sporting events, avoiding housework or solving Sudoku puzzles.","url":"https:\/\/prophet.com\/author\/kate-price\/"}]}},"lang":"en","translations":{"en":35616},"pll_sync_post":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/prophet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/35616","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/prophet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/prophet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/prophet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/307"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/prophet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=35616"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/prophet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/35616\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/prophet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/35619"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/prophet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=35616"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"thinking_topic","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/prophet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/thinking_topic?post=35616"},{"taxonomy":"thinking_type","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/prophet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/thinking_type?post=35616"},{"taxonomy":"thinking_sub_brand","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/prophet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/thinking_sub_brand?post=35616"},{"taxonomy":"thinking_capability","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/prophet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/thinking_capability?post=35616"},{"taxonomy":"author","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/prophet.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/coauthors?post=35616"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
