That's behavioral science at work, and most marketers are barely scratching the surface of it. This week, Elena, Angela, and Rob are joined by Phill Agnew, host of \"Nudge,\" the UK's number one marketing podcast. Phill breaks down the hidden psychology that shapes how consumers think and buy, from why visible effort makes your brand more valuable to how scarcity can be applied in ways that go far beyond a \"limited time offer.\" You'll walk away with principles you can apply immediately... and a few that might change how you think about advertising altogether. Topics covered: • [03:00] The labor illusion: why showing your work increases perceived value • [05:00] What System 1 vs. System 2 thinking means for marketers • [12:00] Costly signaling and why TV advertising commands trust • [17:00] The mere exposure effect • [24:00] Distinctiveness vs. differentiation and how to stand out • [33:00] Scarcity done right: the KFC Australia example. • [40:00] The Pratfall Effect and why admitting weakness builds brand likability.
