Testimonials

"Richard’s workshop had a perfect blend of academic and business insight, whilst being thoroughly engaging. He builds on the behavioural biases that marketers can exploit to influence consumers (which were so brilliantly articulated in The Choice Factory) and then workshops the biases around live business challenges. The feedback from my marketing team has been phenomenal and we will definitely work with Richard on future projects!"

"We love working with Rich for WARC’s events. When he presents, we know we’re guaranteed three things – 1) a fascinating set of insights, 2) evidence and examples to back up all the theory and, 3) a crowd in raptures to hear what he says next!"
