Скачать или смотреть Tricked or Tempted? The Behavioral Science Behind Why We Buy

In this thought-provoking episode, we dive deep into how brands skillfully leverage behavioral science to create powerful urges in consumers—urges that often override logic and self-control. From scarcity cues to social proof, we unpack the psychological tricks that make products feel irresistible, even when buyers know they don't need them.

We explore the tension between aspiration and awareness: Why do consumers fall for the same nudges, again and again? Are we truly making choices, or are our choices being made for us?

The conversation takes a critical turn as we examine buzzwords like sustainability and minimalism—are they genuine movements toward conscious living, or clever marketing disguises to sell more "ethical" versions of things we didn’t need in the first place?

Finally, we wrestle with the ethics of it all: When does behavioral marketing cross the line? Are brands being deceptive, or are they simply responding to consumer behavior?

This episode invites you to reflect not only as a marketer but as a consumer. Are we making better choices, or just buying into better stories?
