Whatever your marketing or behavioral objective, you’ll be far more successful if you know how humans choose. Human intuitions and cognitive mechanisms have evolved over millions of years, but only now are practitioners beginning to understand them. The Business of Choice helps you apply new scientific insights to make your brand or behavior the easiest, most instinctive choice. Matthew Willcox integrates the latest research advances with his own extensive enterprise marketing experience at FCB’s Institute of Decision Making. Willcox explains why we humans often seem so irrational, how marketers can leverage the same evolutionary factors that helped humans prosper as a species, how to make decisions simpler for your consumers, and how to make them feel good about their choices, so they keep coming back for more!
Format: Keynote (40 mins); Workshop (20-40 people; 1 day)
We tend to think about innovation from the perspective of the future. What's new? What's coming down the pipeline? But, paradoxical as it sounds, innovations don't succeed because of their modernity, but because of how well they work with a 6 million year old operating system -• the human mind.
In this session Matthew Willcox, author of "The Business of Choice: Marketing to Consumer's Instincts", a book that explores how what we've learnt from evolutionary psychology reveals how people make choices, applies the same thinking to what makes innovations successful. How do innovations tap into human nature?
Willcox will give examples of innovations that do just this, and explain why. He'll also show how as technology and innovation evolves that surprisingly, it connects better with our more primal, ancient selves.
Format: Keynote (40 mins); Workshop (20-40 people; 1 day)
