Marketing to the Mind: Right Brain Strategies for Advertising and Marketing

Very few books deal with the unconscious mind--the right side of the brain--and how advertising affects and directs it. This one does exactly that. Psychologist Maddock and his co-author Fulton give the readers a clear understanding of how the mind works, based on up-to-date research, and a new way to understand human motivation and behavior.

Drawing uniquely from medicine, clinical psychology, and the practice of marketing, they combine insights and principles that will provide advertisers with almost a blueprint for executing creative strategies and developing marketing plans with a better chance of success. In so doing the authors make clear that "marketing to the mind" is a diagnostic technique, a way to quickly and inexpensively analyze consumer resistance.

With concepts, theories, and research clearly laid out, the authors show how the technique can be applied to a variety of products and services. A practical and engrossing book for the advertising and marketing community, and for teachers, consultants, and students too.
