BEYOND REASON THE SCIENCE BEHIND WHY PEOPLE BUY YOUR BRAND We believe that the very best of marketeers & creatives are those who can radically influence the decision making process. With limited knowledge about how the human brain functions this isn’t an easy task but science can help. The consensus is that the vast majority of our decisions take place in the implicit mind. So not knowing what's happening in the implicit mind of your customers is like,.. well bypassing the governing body of decision making processes. You’re probably wondering how the implicit mind functions? on what basis does it decide to buy brand A vs B? Science has established that powerful implicit motivations orient our attention, ultimately shaping our behaviour, choices and feelings of reward or satisfaction. Beyond Reason research has validated the most influential Implicit Purchase Motivations (IPMs) responsible for everyday customer behaviour. And our scientifically validated BRIM -Beyond Reason Implicit Motivation- study enables us to reveal which IPMs are satisfied when buying a brand. The good news..., it’s easy to implement, a quantitative, online study anyone can participate in. It’s been considered by many as a groundbreaking marketing model. Those who’ve worked with Beyond Reason have used this data intelligence to adapt their strategy, leading to a drastic shift in sales & a higher ROI for their marketing initiatives. “Innovation in the persuasive communication industry will not be lead by creativity or technology, but by psychology and behavioural economics” Nathalie Tadena, Wall Street Journal 2015. www.beyondreason.eu
