“Economists, and other social scientists with an interest in decision-making, have found that the difference between the rational model (how decisions ought to be made) and the real world (what decisions are made) is so significant that rational models are of little use”

A SIMPLE TEST TO MAKE SURE YOUʼRE AWAKE!
A bat and a ball together cost $1.10.
If the bat costs $1 more than the ball, how much does the ball cost?

HISTORIC VIEW OF THE BRAIN
The “rational mind fallacy”
Supremacy of reason
Emotions are dangerous and need controlling

DAMASIO’S DISCOVERY
“A brain that canʼt feel canʼt make up
its mind”
Monday, 17 October 2011
IN OTHER WORDS...
Reason and emotions are linked
The thinking brain depends on the emotional brain
Emotional processing, not reason, dominates our decisions
Monday, 17 October 2011
Emotion = master
Reason = servant
Monday, 17 October 2011
WHY ARE EMOTIONS THE MASTER?
“When evolution was building our brain, it didnʼt bother to replace all those emotional processes with new operations under our explicit control.
The result? The uniquely human parts of the mind depend on the primitive mind underneath”
The Decisive Moment, Johan Lehrer

LEARNINGS FROM LT. COMMANDER RILEY
Much of what we “think” is really driven by our emotions
Every feeling is really a summary of unconscious data
Feelings are an accurate short-cut... a compression of decades worth of experience
Monday, 17 October 2011
WHATʼS THE RIGHT ANSWER?
A bat and a ball together cost $1.10.
If the bat costs $1 more than the ball, how much does the ball cost?
The ball is 5¢The bat is $1.05

AVAILABILITY HEURISTIC
Risk assessment by feeling not facts
Recency and salience versus incidence
So fear of fear of plane crashes higher than fear of skin cancer from sunbathing
The emotional brain prevailing over the rational
Monday, 17 October 2011
SUMMARY
1. Human beings make decisions primarily on emotions and then post-rationalise their decisions
Monday, 17 October 2011
2. How people really choose brands
Monday, 17 October 2011
SHOPPING IS COMPLEX & OPEN-ENDED
Buying decisions cannot be made algorithmically
Monday, 17 October 2011
System 1
System 2
Cross-checks & finalises the decision.
Thought can challenge & re-direct system 1
But post-rationalisation is more common.
We are always assessing brands unconsciously.
Long before we choose, system 1 has short-listed factors & options.
When we come to choose, feelings & intuitionsguide our thinking.
Monday, 17 October 2011
System 1 System 2When decision is complex When decision is simple
In early phase of decision In final phase of decision
For regular purchases When we buy for 1st time
When products are similar When products are functionally different
For cheap items For expensive items
For low risk items For high risk items
For impulse purchases For considered purchases
Time poor Time rich
When we are highly aroused When we are calm
When we are not paying attention When we are paying close attention
When we are happy? When we are grumpy?
DECISION STATES
Try and think of a purchase that is pure System 2Monday, 17 October 2011
3. How communication really works
Monday, 17 October 2011
Monday, 17 October 2011
EFFECTIVE COMMUNICATION
Appeal to emotions / feelings not logic / reason
How we say things may be much more important than what we say
This includes; humour, gesture, etc!
Communication may influence us without us consciously being aware / thinking
Changing our minds / teaching new things, not easy tasks for communication
Monday, 17 October 2011
PROBLEM IS...
Rational mind fallacy
Rational message fallacy
Monday, 17 October 2011
TYPICAL QUESTIONS
What is the main message of the communication?
What is the single-minded product proposition ?
How believable is this message?
What is unique about this message?
What are the supporting reasons to believe?
How likely is this ad to persuade you to buy the product?

RelContent
Relationship
Content = message or the “communication”Typically; clear, recognisable, easily analysed,
rational (and fades quickly!).
Relationship = non-verbal or the “meta-communication”
Typically: subtle, hard to analyse, highly emotional (and endures!).
ITʼS NOT WHAT YOU SAY…

COPYING IS INVALUABLE TO HUMANS
Monday, 17 October 2011
BUT COPYING CAN LEAD TO PROBLEMS
Are your friends making you fat? Or keeping you slender?
According to new research from Harvard and the University of
California, San Diego, the short answer on both counts is "yes."

SIX DEGREES OF KEVIN BACON
Monday, 17 October 2011
Monday, 17 October 2011
Monday, 17 October 2011
SUMMARY
1. Human beings make decisions primarily on emotions and then post-rationalise their decisions
2. Communication is not just about message but about relationship
3. Decision making is a social rather than an individual process
Monday, 17 October 2011
SUMMARY
Talk to the heart
Itʼs not what you say, but how you say it
Make your clientʼs brand / product famous
Monday, 17 October 2011
A CONTROVERSIAL POINT OF VIEW!
We all recognise the importance of creative style and emotional resonance, but we tend to think of these things as a means of
getting the message across.
This new viewpoint suggests that, to a large
extent, style and feel are the message!

4. Implications for doing your job
Monday, 17 October 2011
This means that we may well have to
rethink pretty much everything we do in our day to day jobs...
Monday, 17 October 2011
Monday, 17 October 2011
BUT THE GOOD NEWS...
We will all be happier because we prefer making this sort of communication
The public will be happier because they like this communication better too
CEOs/CFOʼs will be happier because their businesses will be more successful
Monday, 17 October 2011
OVER TO YOU...
HOW DOES THAT MAKE YOU FEEL?
WHAT MIGHT THE IMPLICATIONS BE?
For the briefing and creative process?
For research and evaluation?
For media and channel usage?
Monday, 17 October 2011
MY THOUGHTS (FOR WHAT IT’S WORTH!)
Define the advertising goal as being to build ‘saleability’
Stop talking. Mostly about messages.
Start talking about associations and about relationships.
Recognise the power of implicit communication.
Shift your focus away from the abstract message or idea to the advertisement as a whole.
Resist the urge to over-analyse and over control.

How exciting to be back at the beginning again,
knowing absolutely nothing...
