Marketing Psychology Hacks: How to Persuade and Convert

Rob Curtis

In this episode of Marketing Unzipped, I take a deep dive into the fascinating world where psychology and marketing collide. I explore how understanding the human brain, ethically using cognitive biases, and crafting compelling emotional stories can truly transform our marketing strategies. From the cutting-edge of neuromarketing to the personalized experiences powered by AI, I focus on how we can build genuine connections with our customers.

In this episode I cover:

  • Neuromarketing: I discuss how we can use advanced technology, like fMRI scanning, to understand what customers truly feel, not just what they say.
  • Cognitive Biases: I explore how we can ethically use principles like the anchor effect and scarcity to influence decision-making for the better.
  • Emotional Storytelling: I emphasize the power of crafting narratives that resonate with audiences through authenticity, relevance, and resolution.
  • Social Proof: I look at how social proof has evolved, including the rise of virtual influencers and the importance of community engagement.

I really want to emphasize the importance of ethical marketing in this episode. I believe we should use psychological insights to enhance customer experiences, not manipulate them. I talk about the crucial shift from traditional advertising to emotion-driven narratives, and the power of authenticity in building brand trust. I also dive into how AI is revolutionizing personalization, allowing us to anticipate customer needs and adapt in real-time. Finally, I share how using journey aligned CTA's can have a dramatic effect on conversion rates.

I’d love for you to share this episode with a fellow marketer who you think would find it valuable.
