Behavioural Science to solve Adverting Challenges
Before you can influence decisions, you need to understand what drives them. This course investigates how consumer behaviour is shaped by psychological shortcuts.
This interactive course will give you an overview of the findings from behavioural science that have the greatest relevance to planning. It covers both the latest findings from the topic but also lesser known classic experiments.
The findings can be applied to all areas of advertising: from creative to media, from pricing to strategy. Each will give you a competitive edge.
The insights from behavioural science will be organised into a simple framework so that you can apply them to the challenges you face.
What will you learn?
A thorough understanding of the most relevant behavioural biases
The advertising application of behavioural science
A framework to help you apply the insights to your own challenges
A new approach to research that doesn’t just rely on consumer claims
Guidance on how to run experiments that quickly and cost-effectively test your insights
