In this episode I review Rory’s second appearance on the Strategy Sessions. It’s a riot, as always, and covers hotels, trains and movies. The couple of bits I picked to focus on are: Rory’s most recent episode Rory’s first episode The LinkedIn post I reference Tom Critchlow’s episode on the Strategy Sessions

Rory Sutherland is, perhaps, the closest thing to industry royalty that we have in marketing. He’s Vice Chairman of Ogilvy UK, a best-selling author, owner of one of the best TED Talks you’ll ever see and the man behind MAD Fest a marketing. Rory crashed straight into the top of the charts on the Strategy Sessions when he was on the first episode, so he came back for part 2. In this episode we discuss: • The father of behavioural economics • What Columbo can tell us about strategy • Why we should embrace accidents and post rationalisation • Why the death of the creative process and insights is a problem for advertising • The doorman fallacy • Is performance marketing focusing on the wrong thing • Start with the bottom of the funnel • The importance of ‘commercial innovation’ • Premium economy and why it works • Price v quality • Rory’s view on cinema • Why Britain gets trains wrong • What parking at Heathrow tells us about customer behaviour • Start with the consumer and work backwards • Why the average is the enemy Rory Sutherland Rory is the Vice Chairman of Ogilvy, an attractively vague job title which has allowed him to co-found a behavioral science practice within the agency. He works with a consulting practice of psychology graduates who look for ‘unseen opportunities’ in consumer behaviour - these are the often small contextual changes which can have enormous effects on the decisions people make - for instance tripling the sales rate of a call centre by adding just a few sentences to the script. Put another way, lots of agencies will talk about "bought, owned and earned" media: we also look for "invented media" and "discovered media": seeking out those unexpected (and inexpensive) contextual tweaks that transform the way that people think and act. It is a hugely valuable activity - but, alas, not particularly lucrative. This is because clients generally do not have budgets for solving problems they did not know they had. Before founding Ogilvy’s Behavioural Practice, Rory was a copywriter and creative director at Ogilvy for over 20 years, having joined as a graduate trainee in 1988. He has variously been President of the IPA, Chair of the Judges for the Direct Jury at Cannes, and has spoken at TED Global. He writes regular columns for the Spectator, Market Leader and Impact, and also occasional pieces for Wired. He is the author of three books: The Wiki Man, available on Amazon (at prices between £1.96 and £2,345.54, depending on whether the algorithm is having a bad day), and the best-selling Alchemy, The surprising Power of Ideas which don't make Sense, published in the UK and US in May 2019, and, co-written with his former colleague Pete Dyson, the newly released Transport For Humans on the behavioural science of transport. Rory is married to a vicar and has twin daughters. He lives in the former home of Napoleon III - unfortunately in the attic. He is a trustee of the Benjamin Franklin House in London and a Patron of Rochester Cathedral.

This is the first solo episode of the Strategy Sessions. In this episode we discuss: What a dog poo podcast is Lessons from the BHM Mini Series Why Kevin’s episode had a major impact on me What equality through education means If you dive back into the archives, you’ll see I used to do a solo section in each episode but that died about the same time as Covid restrictions lifted.   After some feedback from friends, colleagues and people at conferences, I’ve decided to introduce a few shorter episodes that discuss issues the guests raise in more depth. This won’t replace the normal length episodes, it’s an additional treat for you. Aren’t you lucky. Let me know if you like the new format.
