Course content

This two-session MIPA workshop, will give you an introduction to the field of behavioural science as it applies to advertising, using a simple framework to make sense of academic findings.

We’ll cover some of the classic experiments that reveal the fascinating ways in which the human mind makes decisions about behaviour, as well as new and lesser-known research that will give you the edge.

Most importantly, we will bring it all back to advertising, always translating theory into practice in the context of your specific issues.

Following the workshops, there will also be an exciting opportunity for delegates to put what they have learnt into practice, by tackling a current social problem.
