We continue season 2 of The Behaviour Business podcast with a fascinating chat with behavioural economics expert Melina Palmer, author of the newly released ‘What Your Consumers Want and Can’t Tell You’, a brilliant book explaining the neuroscience of consumer behaviour. Founder and CEO of The Brainy Business, Melina provides behavioural economics consulting to businesses of all sizes from around the world, and brings behavioural economics out of the academic arena and into practical application for businesses. Melina may well be familiar to you from her own award-winning podcast, ‘The Brainy Business’, and in this conversation about her newly released book, Melina describes what inspired her to write it, the concept of 'behavioural baking', the importance of correctly defining a problem before you try to solve it, her favourite behavioural biases, and the relevance of memory for brands. Plus find out how Ed Sheeran’s ketchup habit can surprise and delight!
