    The Behaviour Business Episode 18 - Branding That Means Business
    Sep 4 2022
    In this special edition of The Behaviour Business Podcast, Richard Chataway had the pleasure of speaking to Dr Tessa Misiaszek and Dr Matt Johnson about their brand new book: ‘Branding That Means Business’. In this fascinating conversation with Tessa and Matt, they discussed how easy it is for companies to be caught woke washing in a digital age, how brand purpose isn’t worth a penny without authenticity, and they talk about whether it is it possible for a plain white t-shirt to make a personal connection with a customer, when it’s one of thousands sold by a behemoth like Amazon.

    Drs Tessa Misiaszek and Matt Johnson’s book ‘Branding That Means Business’ is released in the UK on 15th September and is available for pre-order on Amazon and at all good bookshops. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Branding-that-Means-Business-Economist/dp/1788168666/ref=sr_1_1?crid=1I0UYLW5YF4D2&keywords=Branding+that+means+business&qid=1661184160&sprefix=branding+that+means+business%2Caps%2C110&sr=8-1

    The Behaviour Business Episode 17 - What to Ask with Andrea Belk Olson
    Jul 4 2022
    In this episode of the Behaviour Business Podcast, Richard Chataway chats with Andrea Belk Olson, author of ‘What to Ask - How to Learn What Customers Need But Don’t Tell You’.

    From starting a tech start-up right out of college, to working for global behemoths and mid-size companies, Andrea has garnered a wealth of insight into different working environments, management styles and company mindsets. And while on first glance they look like they would face very different challenges, Andrea found that, in fact, big or small, start-up or long established companies all faced the same obstacle. They simply didn’t understand their customers.

    In this fascinating conversation with Richard Chataway, Andrea Belk Olsen explains how without thinking critically you will never understand what your customers want; how focusing on the things you can measure can ultimately be meaningless; and she also challenges us to think differently about chairs.

    Andrea Belk Olson’s new book ‘What To Ask - How to Learn What Customers Need But Don’t Tell You’ is available to purchase at all good bookshops or at www.andreabelkolson.com

He advises start-ups, big and small, including Nike as an expert-in-residence, and has contributed to major news outlets including Forbes, Entrepreneur and Business Insider.

    In this chat, Matt covers a lot ground and reveals some fascinating insights, touching on how the film '50 First Dates' can reveal the secrets of how memories are formed, the lengths movie lovers will go to in order to eat popcorn in the cinema, and how making sure you never pay for something with a crisp fifty pound note will save you a lot of pain.

  • The Behaviour Business Episode 12 - Go Luck Yourself with Andy Nairn

    The Behaviour Business Episode 12 - Go Luck Yourself with Andy Nairn
    May 3 2021
    Welcome to season 2 of The Behaviour Business podcast. In season 1, we heard from 25 experts about the diverse ways that behavioural science can be applied for business success, with each episode covering a different area explored in my book.

    Since I started those interviews in 2018, there’s been a lot of great books published that give us a better understanding of behaviour, and it’s importance for business.

    So in season 2, I’m going to be speaking to authors of some of those books, to give you a flavour of their work, and to find out about the latest thinking about behaviour - and what it means for business.

    To open season 2, I couldn’t have hoped for a better interviewee than Andy Nairn, who talked to me about his new book 'Go Luck Yourself' (out in June 2021). It’s no exaggeration to say Andy is one of the leading brains in UK advertising, having been named by Campaign magazine the top brand strategist in the UK, for the 3rd time in a row. Business Insider has also named him one of the top 5 creative people in world advertising. He's won an astonishing 24 IPA Effectiveness Awards as well as the top 2 planning prizes in the USA.

    He is one of the 3 founders of Lucky Generals, a creative company that has been shortlisted for Campaign's Agency of the Year for 5 years in a row, and also chairs Dark Horses, a sports marketing agency for those who want to break away from the field (shortlisted for Young Agency of the Year at the BT Sports Industry Awards, for the last 2 years in a row).

    I spoke to Andy about his first book GO LUCK YOURSELF, which is a fantastic read and full of wit and wisdom about how brands can use luck, good and bad, to their advantage. A huge thanks to Andy for sparing the time to talk to me about it. And you can feel great about reading his book too, as all the royalties go to help working class kids get a lucky break into the creative industry.

    Pre-order Andy's book on Amazon here: https://amzn.to/2RimYGY

    We had a fascinating chat about Andy’s book and the concept of luck, and why so much of what we do in business ignores it. If you’re looking for your business to rectify some bad luck – and let’s be honest there’s plenty of that around at the moment – or make the most of some good luck, there’s a lot to learn here. I hope you enjoy our conversation.

    In the conversation Andy and I discuss this brilliant Lucky Generals Super Bowl Amazon ad: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxNxqveseyI

  • The Behaviour Business Episode 11 - Behavioural Science for Better Marketing

    The Behaviour Business Episode 11 - Behavioural Science for Better Marketing
    Dec 30 2020
    John Wanamaker famously said "Half of all my advertising spend is wasted - the problem is I don't know which half." 75% of all viewable online ads are totally ignored by consumers. How do make sure that the brands we create are noticed, remembered, and (most importantly) bought?

    Any business needs to get people to buy it's products and services to generate revenue, and this is the goal of marketing. But a lot of marketing doesn't succeed. Assuming you've created a great product or service, and developed it as a brand - how do you then get people to buy it?

    Behavioural science, by giving us a better understanding of how and why people actually buy, has given us ways of delivering more effective marketing, including by informing the growing discipline of marketing science. In this episode you'll hear from leading experts about this, as well as why you shouldn't necessarily lower a product's price to get more sales, and why killing the Milky Bar kid is generally a bad idea.

    In this episode you'll hear from:

    - Leigh Caldwell, co-founder of The Irrational Agency, on why having the cheapest product is not always good, and why the context of our pricing decisions is critical;
    - Nick Mason, founder of Turtl, on the importance of visual information in marketing and why B2B marketing needs to appeal to more emotional (not rational) drivers of behaviour;
    - Mike Follett, co-founder and MD of Lumen Research, on why people are very, very good at ignoring marketing, and how to win the battle for attention to deliver marketing success;
    - Kate Waters, Director of Client Strategy at ITV, on how to shorten the odds of creating great marketing campaigns, and why the incentives often mean that innovation is prioritised over effectiveness in advertising;
    - Sam Tatam, Head of Behavioural Science at Ogilvy Consulting, on how behavioural science adds value to marketing through generating effective counter-intuitive solutions, and by giving a scientific foundation to creativity.

    If you want to know how to understand get people to buy - in other words to simply do marketing better - then have a listen.
