So an ape and a marketer walk into a bar, and the ape says "I'll have the banana." Shocked at the apes decision, the marketer replies, "Why the banana, the packaging is so boring and I haven't seen their creative department do anything innovative in years." The ape responds, "I like the banana because it is the most 'a-peeling'..."

Just like our primal ancestor chooses a banana over a beer, consumers make decisions to purchase products that fulfill their basic needs. The problem is that marketers often get so caught up in designing the most amazing, ground-breaking products and campaigns, we lose sight of designing products that appeal to consumers' emotion, and raw animal instinct.

On November 5th, 9am-10am PST, Gavin Johnston, Chief Anthropologist at Two West, Inc. presents "Marketing to Apes," an entertaining and educational webinar where product and brand managers will learn how to take a step back, and connect with their customers on a deeper, more instinctual level.

With a focus on non-verbal communication and primate cognition, product and brand managers will learn: - How rational, emotional and, the often overlooked, animalistic instincts are central to product adoption and brand loyalty. - Why a brand risks losing to the competition if they only appeal to the rational brain. - How to develop emotional attachment and customer loyalty through blending rational explanations with innate triggers. - How to design products that facilitate daily life.
