    Make Your Brand Memorable: How To Capture and Keep Attention

    Make Your Brand Memorable: How To Capture and Keep Attention

    Last year, 59% of Americans could remember less than 1 in 10 of the ads they’d watched in the past 24 hours. Globally, a staggering 89% of advertising efforts fade into obscurity, as if they never existed. So what makes a brand memorable?
    In today’s episode, Ziba and Raphy explore the nuances of brand awareness so that you have the power to make your brand have a big and lasting impact.
    They speak to branding guru Charles Vallance, Chairman & Founding Partner of VCCP and get the benefit of his decades long marketing experience. They also chat to Katie Hart, international speaker, trainer and researcher in the field of Neuromarketing to get her take on the latest research. Raphy then takes to the streets to test how successful some brands are at capturing and keeping the attention of the general public.

    Stop giving bad gifts! How to elevate your gift-giving game using science

    In today's episode, Ziba and Raphy hack the brain of the 'the bad gift receiver' and unwrap the behavioural science behind giving the perfect present.
    They speak to Professor Julian Givi, whose research explores consumer behaviour decision making in the context of gift purchasing. Then, you'll hear Raphy go undercover to put our psychology to the test buy presenting a notoriously difficult gift-receiver her engagement present.
