Brands can be mystifyingly successful. Why are customers happy to pay a premium for things that should be free, like water; things that should be cheap, like milk; and things that would do the same job at half the price, like vacuum cleaners?
In Hacking The Human Mind, we identify the behavioral-based approaches that helped take 17 leading brands to the top. So you can learn from the winners and power-up your marketing.
