Infos

In this groundbreaking book Phil Barden reveals what decision science explains about people’s purchase behaviour, and specifically demonstrates its value to marketing.

He shares the latest research on the motivations behind consumers’ choices and what happens in the human brain as buyers make their decisions. He deciphers the ‘secret codes’ of products, services and brands to explain why people buy them. And finally he shows how to apply this knowledge in day to day marketing to great effect by dramatically improving key factors such as relevance, differentiation and credibility.

• Shows how the latest insights from the fields of Behavioural Economics, psychology and neuro-economics explain why we buy what we buy
• Offers a pragmatic framework and guidelines for day-to-day marketing practice on how to employ this knowledge for more effective brand management - from strategy to implementation and NPD.
• The first book to apply Daniel Kahneman’s Nobel Prize-winning work to marketing and advertising
• Packed with case studies, this is a must-read for marketers, advertising professionals, web designers, R&D managers, industrial designers, graphic designers in fact anyone whose role or interest focuses on the ‘why’ behind consumer behaviour.
• Foreword by Rory Sutherland, Executive Creative Director and Vice-Chairman, OgilvyOne London and Vice-Chairman,Ogilvy Group UK

Rezensionen

'...he sets out to build the most comprehensive
bridge yet between decision science and the day-to-day business of
marketing....'Decoded' shows understanding
behaviour is not the enemy of creativity but a springboard to it.
Creatives more than anyone need to embrace it - not make it
planning or research's responsibility or assume a new video
on YouTube renders the hardwiring of our brains irrelevant.
Advertising will never be a science but it's more science
than most working in it realise' (25th January

"When Phil first introduced me to this new and important
understanding it crystallised my fears that the long-standing
approach to marketing needed to be fundamentally re-evaluated. In
his book, he not only persuasively and cogently argues his case but
also shows how we need to think in new ways to maximise our
marketing efficiency and effectiveness"

--Sean Gogarty, Senior Vice President, Household Care,
Unilever

"A perfect mixture of deep ideas from visual and decision
neuroscience,

and clear pictures of why those ideas matter for
marketing"

--Colin Camerer, Robert Kirby Professor of Behavioral
Economics, Caltech

"A must read for marketing managers who wish to deepen their
understanding of the vagaries of the consumer behavior. The
difficult subject matter is presented in an accessible, logical and
concise manner. I will certainly use this book in my graduate
classes"

--Leon Zurawicki. Professor of Marketing,
University of Massachusetts

"Marketing has, for a long time, been an uneasy tussle between art
and science: Decoded gives the discipline a very healthy and
eminently accessible push in the direction of the latter. All
marketers should read it

"--Philip Graves. Author of Consumer.ology
