Session: How you can make your marketing more effective in tough economic times by harnessing behavioural science
9:45 - 10:30, May 26th 2023, Strategy
 
Anyone who works in marketing is in the business of influencing decisions. But how can you do that without understanding what drives them?

This session will show how behavioural science can be applied to marketing, using a simple framework to make sense of academic findings. In our session, we’ll cover some of the classic experiments that reveal the fascinating ways in which the human mind makes decisions about behaviour, as well as new and lesser-known research that will give you the edge.

Most importantly, we will always translate theory into practice in the context of a challenging economic climate
