Reshape Consumer Behavior by Making Your Brand the Instinctive, Intuitive, Easy Choice
• Discover powerful new ways to simplify and guide consumer decisions
• Gain actionable insights into social influence, how people plan, and how they interpret the past
• Leverage surprising advances in neuroscience, evolutionary biology, and the behavioral and social sciences
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 marketers beginning to understand their impact on people’s decisions. The Business of Choice helps you apply new scientific insights to make your brand or target 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!
“The insights that Matthew brings about how we really make choices are interesting and relevant to anyone working in marketing or selling, but are even more astonishing and invaluable to anyone with the remotest curiosity about the human condition.”
—Alan Jope, President, Personal Care, Unilever
“Understanding how it is that human beings make choices—the complexity of inputs, the evolutionary success factors, and the cognitive processes—makes for fascinating subject matter. Matthew’s experience in advertising and his understanding of the science of decision making come together here to make for an insightful and incredibly useful tool.”
—Jennifer Sey, Global CMO, Levi’s, and author of Chalked Up
“How we human beings make decisions is complex and fascinating, and nobody brings it to life quite like Matthew Willcox. His deep knowledge and practical insights are invaluable, not just for marketers, but for anyone in the business of understanding and influencing decisions. And that’s everyone in business.”
—Matt Williams, CEO, The Martin Agency
“Matthew Willcox bridges the practical and academic worlds of marketing better than anyone I know. In The Business of Choice, he lucidly explains what marketing practitioners can learn from marketing academics—and vice-versa—and makes an excellent case for strengthening the ties between the two disciplines. The result is a fascinating and charming read.”
—Adam Alter, Associate Professor of Marketing, NYU Stern School of Business, and New York Times best-selling author of Drunk Tank Pink: And Other Unexpected Forces That Shape How We Think, Feel, and Behave
“The Business of Choice shines a light on the deep human truths that have driven behavior for millions of years. Incorporate these into your marketing, and the chances are you will be tapping into something truly fundamental for your brand.”
—James Hallatt, Global Head Oral Health Category, GSK Consumer Healthcare
“There are many great reasons to choose this book, all of which you’ll understand better by the time you get to the end of it.”
—Mark Barden, Partner, eatbigfish, and author of A Beautiful Constraint
