Scott jams with George Zdanowicz, the CEO of Enhance Research and the President of the Australian Data and Insights Association, about the role of market research in the life and success of a brand and the ways it informs the building of connection through meeting the wants and needs, known or yet to be known, of their target market. They delve into the behaviour change realm, looking at not for profit and preventative health brands as well as the ways commercial brands influence behaviour. And they tap into brand promise, building empathy with an audience, and some brilliant GenX childhood favourite brands and jingles from the 70s and 80s. They also explore the path to working in market research and the research you can do yourself.
