Cracking brand growth isn't just about what you don't know. It's about what you believe to be true, but isn't.
Every business aims to increase revenues and reduce customer acquisition costs in an attempt to chase growth. But what if flawed assumptions are holding back your brand from reaching its full potential? Just like the hard sciences, there are laws that govern the social sciences too. The three critical knowledge pillars that all marketers should be aware of are:
- Brain Science
- Decision Science
- Buying Behaviour
Everyone agrees that marketing can be a source of competitive advantage. But if everyone is playing by the same old rules, where’s the edge? You’ve found it. Welcome to Strategic Brand Transformation.

In the first session, your programme director will set the scene, facilitate introductions, outline the programme and establish core metrics that brand owners need to drive to be successful in today’s markets and categories across the world.
Tap into buying behaviour data, where science has discovered ‘law like’ patterns of buying behaviour in over 170 B2C and B2B markets. These laws govern how brands grow and decline, who they are competing for and what they are competing for – even though they are not widely known.
Delve deeper into the science of buying behaviours and identify opportunities for applying knowledge in specific contexts prompted by some interesting and surprising case studies.
Learn strategies to address typical barriers that may stop customers from buying brands or might make it more difficult for them to do so. Assess the merits and limitations of marketing metrics in the context of driving profitable growth and why marketers should ignore some of the better-known marketing metrics.
Join Dr. Omar Merlo to hear about Imperial’s latest research on innovation and marketing. Understand and discuss how the latest academic thinking supports exciting new approaches to Strategic Brand Transformation.
Examine the concepts of mental and physical availability and demonstrate the relationship between brand size and brand availability across multiple categories.
In any given market, there are probably about 15-20 different reasons why customers or potential customers, don’t buy a particular brand or don’t buy from the category. Learn how well-known retailers, manufacturers, financial services companies and others have used ‘nudges’ to add value to their brands.
