In this episode of The Unicorny Marketing Show, Dom talks to Tas Tasgal, Keynote speaker, author and trainer about the intricacies of human behaviour in marketing.

Tas challenges common perceptions in marketing, emphasising that decision-making is often unconscious and influenced by emotions rather than rational thought.

Key points:

  • Traditional market research often fails to capture true consumer motivations
  • The role of emotions in decision-making
  • Engaging narratives can significantly enhance brand communication

Listen in to rethink conventional strategies and explore deeper emotional connections with your audience.

The Brothers Ortiz

The Brothers Ortiz

The Brothers Ortiz is the story of two brothers–both successful, but in very different ways. Gabe Ortiz becomes a third-highest ranking officer in all of Texas while his younger brother Larry climbs the ranks in Puro Tango Blast, a notorious Texas Prison gang. Gabe doesn’t know all the details of his brother’s nefarious dealings, and he’s made a point not to ask, to protect their relationship. But when Larry is murdered during a home invasion in a rented beach house, Gabe has no choice but to look into what happened that night. To solve Larry’s murder, Gabe, and the whole Ortiz family, must ask each other tough questions.
