The Man Behind the Metrics: Chivanon Piyaphitakskul's Impact on Brand Analytics
Chivanon Piyaphitakskul, who holds a Master's in Branding and Marketing from Chulalongkorn University, Thailand's top-ranked institution, has spent years shaping how brands understand consumer behavior. As a leading figure in marketing analytics across Thailand and Malaysia, he does not just analyze consumer trends, but he also challenges the way businesses perceive data.
As senior marketing manager for Kantar's Worldpanel Division, he has led efforts that go beyond surface-level statistics, providing deep insights that redefine branding strategies. Pioneering AI-Powered Consumer Insights
Artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning are no longer buzzwords; they are indispensable tools for modern brand analytics. These technologies empower businesses to process vast datasets with unprecedented speed and precision, identifying patterns and trends that would be impossible for humans to detect manually.
The rise of AI-driven predictive analytics has accelerated the transformation of marketing. By 2030, Thailand's digital advertising sector is projected to double in value, driven by innovations in data modeling and machine learning. Chivanon Piyaphitakskul, however, sees this evolution as an opportunity rather than a disruption.
At Kantar, Chivanon has been instrumental in AI-powered segmentation models, refining how brands tailor campaigns to specific audience segments. By integrating machine learning with behavioral analysis, his team has enabled companies to anticipate market shifts and optimize consumer engagement with unparalleled precision.
"Consumer data is not just a 'resource' but a 'strategic asset'. For businesses, having the right data and using it wisely will help brands understand customers at a deep level, meet their needs accurately, and build sustainable long-term relationships," Chivanon Piyaphitakskul explains. To him, knowing your consumers helps you to be one step ahead in an ever-changing industry. Recognized Expertise and Thought Leadership
Beyond his corporate achievements, Chivanon Piyaphitakskul is recognized as an industry thought leader. He has served as a judge for the Webby Awards, the International Customer Experience Awards, the Globee Business Awards, and the Artificial Intelligence Awards. His expertise has made him a sought-after evaluator of digital and branding excellence on a global scale.
Additionally, his insights have been featured in major publications such as Forbes, BBC News, Business Today, Matichon, and The Standard, further cementing his influence in the field. His analysis of emerging consumer trends, the future of digital marketing, and brand positioning strategies has made him a regular media contributor.
Chivanon's research contributions also extend beyond the media. He has authored several thought-leadership papers, including Kantar's 2024 Thailand Beauty Outlook, Kantar's 2024 Thailand FMCG Outlook, and The Omni-Shopper Revolution—studies that continue to shape industry perspectives on consumer behavior.
Before Kantar, Chivanon also led the marketing and communications for Ipsos's Business Consulting Division across 16 markets. His strategic campaigns elevated Ipsos as a top insights provider, driving brand growth and client engagement. He also strengthened the company's market positioning and industry influence.
These hands-on experiences laid the foundation for Chivanon's future role in Kantar, where he leverages data-driven insights and AI-powered analytics to shape brand strategies. Quantifiable Impact on Business Performance
Chivanon Piyaphitakskul's data-driven approach has yielded measurable results for Kantar's clients. Key performance indicators include 44% revenue growth in the Thai market and 39% revenue growth in the Malay market from 2019 to 2024, and significant expansion of market research capabilities across Southeast Asia.
The success of this approach is evident in the comprehensive market analysis reports produced under Piyaphitakskul's leadership, including detailed studies of Thailand's OOH snacks market, beauty sector, and FMCG landscape. These reports have become essential resources for industry decision-makers, consistently cited by major media outlets including Forbes, BBC News, and Business Today.
Looking ahead, market analysts project that companies implementing similar data-driven strategies could see a 30% increase in operational efficiency by 2026. As organizations continue to prioritize data-driven decision-making, Piyaphitakskul's methodologies provide a blueprint for combining analytical rigor with practical business applications.
The future of brand analytics will depend on organizations' ability to effectively integrate technological capabilities with market understanding. Companies that successfully implement these strategies, following the model established by Piyaphitakskul at Kantar, are projected to achieve 25% higher revenue growth compared to their peers over the next three years.

British photographer hit by non-lethal bullets during LA protests
Nick Stern was documenting a stand-off between anti-Immigration and Customs Enforcement (Ice) protesters and police outside a Home Depot in Paramount, a city in LA county and a location known as a hiring spot for day labourers, when a 14mm 'sponge bullet' tore into his thigh. He told the PA news agency: 'My initial concern was, were they firing live rounds? 'Some of the protesters came and helped me, and they ended up carrying me, and I noticed that there was blood pouring down my leg.' He was treated by a medic who urged him to go to hospital. At one point, Mr Stern says he passed out from the pain. He is now recovering at Long Beach Memorial Medical Centre following emergency surgery. Mr Stern, who emigrated to the US in 2007, said he typically makes himself 'as visible as possible' while working in hostile situations. 'That way you're less likely to get hit because they know you're media,' he said. It is the second incident of its kind for Mr Stern, who said he sustained 'substantial' bruising after being hit by another live round during the George Floyd protests in 2020. 'The communities in LA are very tight and very close-knit,' Mr Stern said. 'So an outside organisation like Ice coming in and removing – whatever you want to call it, removing, kidnapping, abducting people from the community – is not going to go down well at all.' It comes after US President Donald Trump announced plans to deploy 2,000 National Guard troops to California to quell the protests, which began on Friday in downtown LA before spreading. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said the move was 'essential to halting and reversing the invasion of illegal criminals into the United States'. The decision drew sharp criticism from Democratic politicians, including California Governor Gavin Newsom, who called the move 'purposefully inflammatory'. Demonstrators have been protesting the Trump administration's immigration raids, which last month aimed to detain as many as 3,000 people per day. Despite his injury, Mr Stern says he is eager to return to work. 'I intend, as soon as I am well enough, to get back out there,' he said. 'This is too important and it needs documenting.'
