Applied Captivation

How to see through the smoke and mirrors and actually use behavioural science

26 April 2017 | Islington Metal Works

Behavioural science has started to harness and understand how emotions fight rationality. But for many marketers, it’s a science that remains opaque and impractical – flirting between snake oil and impossible silver bullets.

The inaugural Campaign Underground event, in association with behavioural planning agency, Total Media , sought to investigate how to make practical use of behavioural science. Through inspiring talks from brands and behavioural leaders, we uncovered what's working, why and – crucially – what isn’t.

To enhance the talks and put attendees' sense of rationality to the test, experience partner, PrettyGreen Events conducted a series of sensory experiments throughout the afternoon.

“The entire event from the moment you walk in to the moment you leave was an experiential, insightful, educational pleasure!
