400+ Behavioral Science Theories Decoded: an ABC Guide to Supercharge Your Marketing
About this episode
In this episode of the Influence Anyone Podcast, host Howie Chan interviews Tom Bowden-Green and Luan Wise, the co-authors of Marketing and Psychology: Understanding Customer Behaviour with the ABC Approach. He's a professor of marketing and consumer psychology at UWE Bristol, and his hobby is collecting behavioral science theories (400+ so far). She's a top marketing consultant, an award-winning author, and a LinkedIn Learning Instructor.
They delve into how we can stop guessing what people want and start using behavioral science to make marketing matter. Luan and Tom provide a roadmap for marketers to influence their audience with the ABC approach, where they share different behavioral science theories in a way that people can apply, no matter the size or type of their organization or the channels they're using.
