      • 11 hours of reading

      Foreword by Morgan Spurlock. From the bestselling author of Buyology comes a shocking insider’s look at how global giants manipulate our minds to persuade us to buy. Marketing visionary Martin Lindstrom, with over twenty years of experience in branding, exposes the psychological tricks companies use to win our hard-earned dollars. Building on Vance Packard's classic, The Hidden Persuaders, Lindstrom reveals alarming insights, including how advertisers target children from the womb and the surprising thoughts heterosexual men have when exposed to sexually provocative ads. He highlights how marketers exploit public fears surrounding global issues like contagions and extreme weather to drive sales. The book presents neuroscientific evidence of our addiction to smartphones, which can be harder to overcome than substance dependencies. It also uncovers how companies mine our digital footprints to tailor ads to our psychological profiles and how some brands intentionally create chemically addictive products. A three-month guerrilla marketing experiment sheds light on the most powerful hidden persuader of all. This searing expose introduces a new class of tricks and techniques, showcasing the insidious nature of 21st-century persuasion.

      Anti-rookcampagnes blijken roken te stimuleren, en politici winnen stemmen met negatieve boodschappen. Miljoenen euro's worden verspild aan ineffectieve reclamecampagnes. Dit zijn enkele verrassende bevindingen uit het onderzoek van Martin Lindstrom over consumentengedrag. Hij stelt dat er een groot verschil is tussen wat we denken dat ons beïnvloedt en wat daadwerkelijk onze beslissingen aanstuurt. In een ambitieus onderzoeksproject, met meer dan 2.000 vrijwilligers uit 6 landen en geavanceerde hersenscanmethoden, onthult hij wat er in ons hoofd gebeurt bij het zien van advertenties of het proeven van concurrerende producten. Factoren zoals jeugdherinneringen, religieuze overtuigingen en reuk beïnvloeden onze voorkeuren en beslissingen, wat aantoont dat we onszelf vaak voor de gek houden bij bewuste keuzes. Deze fascinerende inzichten zijn herkenbaar voor iedereen die ooit is verleid door marketingstrategieën. Martin Lindstrom, die op twaalfjarige leeftijd zijn eigen reclamebureau oprichtte, is inmiddels een gerespecteerde merkengoeroe en CEO van de Lindstrom Company. Hij heeft een unieke set principes ontwikkeld die marketingstrategieën transformeert in positieve bedrijfsresultaten, en verwerpt traditionele opvattingen over merkenbeleid als kunst. Zijn visie is wetenschappelijk onderbouwd en praktisch, waarbij merkenbeleid centraal staat in verkoop en winst.

      Koop mij2008
    • How much do we know about why we buy? What truly influences our decisions in today's message-cluttered world? An eye-grabbing advertisement, a catchy slogan, an infectious jingle? Or do our buying decisions take place below the surface, so deep within our subconscious minds that we're barely aware of them? Marketing guru Lindstrom presents the startling findings from his three-year, seven-million-dollar neuromarketing study, a cutting-edge experiment that peered inside the brains of 2,000 volunteers from all around the world as they encountered various ads, logos, commercials, brands, and products. His startling results shatter much of what we have long believed about what seduces our interest and drives us to buy.--From publisher description.

      Build Powerful Brands through Touch, Taste, Smell, Sight, and Sound

      In this groundbreaking exploration of sensory branding, Martin Lindstrom uncovers the strategies that distinguish the world's leading branding companies by integrating touch, taste, smell, sight, and sound for remarkable outcomes. Drawing from the largest study on how our senses influence brand creation, Lindstrom presents a six-step program designed to modernize brand building. Conducted by Millward Brown across multiple countries, the research highlights that a significant 75 percent of our emotions stem from scent, a key insight Lindstrom encourages brands to leverage. The book offers tools for assessing a brand's sensory impact and enhancing its consumer appeal. Lindstrom identifies the top twenty brands for the future based on sensory awareness, including Singapore Airlines, Apple, and Disney. Fascinating facts abound, such as the "new-car" smell being a factory-installed aerosol and Kellogg's patented sound and feel of cornflakes. Additionally, Singapore Airlines has a signature scent embedded in their service, while Starbucks' identity is more tied to its café design than its coffee. Recognized as the "World's Brand Futurist" by the BBC, Lindstrom, with two decades of experience as an advertising CEO and advisor to Fortune 500 companies, combines scientific evidence with insights from successful brands to demonstrate how to transform marketing strategies into tangible business results.
