When it comes to digital marketing, B2B and B2C companies often need more effective engagement tactics and struggle to influence their target audience. So how can you create a marketing campaign that empathizes with your ideal consumers?

Digital marketing expert Tim Ash affirms that there are no rational decisions regarding customers’ buying habits. When creating a campaign, it’s crucial to identify and leverage the emotional component of each decision to reach your audience successfully. Once you understand specific motivations, you can structure your service or product around a key problem exclusive to a particular demographic, communicate the resulting adverse consequences, and present a viable solution.

Tune in to this rebroadcast of What The Teck?, as Rolando Rosas and Dave Kelly host Tim Ash, author of Unleash Your Primal Brain, to discuss leveraging primal instincts to enhance your marketing campaign. Tim explains the big lie of decision-making, the importance of understanding your audience when developing marketing campaigns, and the power and purpose of storytelling.

So I’m really looking forward to hearing Tim and what he’s got to say, especially on how we can apply that to customer behavior, and how we can actually use some techniques and tips. And you want to stick around to the end, where Tim is going to talk about the big lie, not the one that you’re thinking of. But the big lie that we’re all stuck with in believing when it comes to our behavior in our brain. So Dave, I am fascinated and can’t wait till he tells us a little bit more about that.
