Using decision science to build
breakthrough creative ideas
February 2016
Thomas Bunnell
I wrote this presentation to introduce creative departments, client service
teams and clients to some of the basics surrounding decision science – and
how it can be meaningfully used in creative and strategic development.
The theories and examples have been taken from the work of leading
thinkers in this field, including Daniel Kahneman, Phil Barden and Byron
Sharpe.
This deck was written as a presentation (and not originally intended to be
read) but hopefully some of the key ideas are still clear.
About this presentation
1. How we make decisions
a. Introducing System 1 and System 2
2. How we can get people to think less and buy more
a. Decreasing the pain
b. Increasing the reward
3. How we can apply theory to creative
a. Decoding TV Ads
What this presentation covers
1. Provide new thinking on ways we can develop creative strategies and
ideas
2. Provide a shared language to help explain, defend, and sell-in highly
creative ideas
3. Build upon our knowledge of how advertising works
How this presentation can help our work

“System one is really the one
that is the more influential; it is
guiding System two, it is
steering System two to a very
large extent” Daniel Kahneman
Marketing activities need to
activate System one and
circumvent System two, i.e. get
people to think less and buy
Part two: How we can get people to think less and buy more
Continually refresh memory structures
Fulfil implicit and
explicit goals throughout
all stages of the
experience: context,
product, brand and
comms
Be present at all stages
of the purchase journey
- mentally and
physically
Three approaches to getting people to buy
Address any areas of
resistance to buying
Learned behaviour
Maximise the rewardMinimise the painBe available
Buying is based on a simple calculation
=OFC Ventral Straitum Insular Cortex
- Net value
PainReward
Decrease
the pain
Thus, there are two levers we can pull to maximise net value
Increase
the reward
To decrease the pain
we need to consider how we
position and present value
Availability
Decreasing the pain using behavioural economics
Framing Anchoring
90% lean 10% fat
Loss aversionPermissibilitySocial Proof
Decreasing the pain using behavioural economics [Cont’d.]
To increase the reward
we need to appeal to people’s
‘explicit’ and ‘implicit’ goals
Pleasing scent,
restore and soften
skin
Explicit goals are specific to a given product category and are
vital to buyers
Gets you from A to B
Tasty, filling,
and gives energy
Implicit goals are deep psychological needs
Security
Care, trust, closeness,
security, warmth
Excitement
Vitality, fun, curiosity,
creativity, change
Autonomy
Pride, success, power,
superiority, recognition
Enjoyment
Relaxation, light-heartedness,
openness, pleasure
Adventure
Freedom, discovery,
rebellion, courage, risk
Discipline
Precision, order,
logic, reason
Signals and associations within the brand experience help serve
implicit goals
Product ExperienceCommunications Context
Thus, motivational theory can help us in two ways
1. Develop value
propositions
2. Provide guidance
for creative
signals and
associations
1. Developing value propositions
Soup
Enjoyment:
relaxation, light
heartedness,
openness, pleasure,
relief
It can be eaten with
sides, adapted with
spices, or even used as
a base to create a stew,
curry or laksa
Product/Feature Explicit Goal Implicit Goal
‘Brand X’ soups make your meal improvisation magnificent’
2. Provide guidance for creative signals and associations
Explicit goals
● Is it a feature no-one else owns?
● Is it a mature category?
● How important is the feature to
people?
Considerations when assigning explicit and implicit goals
Implicit goals
● What’s the dominant implicit goal of
the category?
● Who is the target audience?
● What are the positive and negative
brand associations?
● How does it relate to the product
experience/explicit goal?
Part three: How we can apply theory to creative
Value proposition development using motivational theory
Product/Feature Explicit goal Implicit goal Brand

Autonomy
Creative needs fulfil goals in distinct and exciting ways
Security Adventure
Enjoyment Excitement
Discipline Autonomy
Phil Barden, Decoded
Culture is the gateway
1. System 1 (autopilot) and System 2 (pilot) are the two processes
involved in decision making
2. ‘Increasing the reward’ and ‘decreasing the pain’ are ways we can
encourage people to buy
a. Behavioural economic frameworks can help us decrease the pain in buying
b. Serving implicit and explicit goals can help us increase the reward and
provides guidance for signals and associations within the brand experience
3. Breakthrough creative needs to find distinct and culturally relevant
ways to serve implicit goals
Recap
Thank you
