#20: Debunking a marketing myth: As marketers, we are constantly told to change a consumer’s attitudes. Gurus often call it the key to long term success and cite examples from mammoth organizations like Nike, saying “they changed attitudes towards running”. But is it good advice?

He talks about why changing behaviors is easier and more effective than changing attitudes, sharing diverse examples from organ donations to cafeteria designs.  Phil's book Decoded: <a href="https://amzn.to/2EXoIMl ">https://amzn.to/2EXoIMl </a> Phil's agency Decode: <a href="https://decodemarketing.com/en ">https://decodemarketing.com/en </a> Sign up to our mailing list: <a href="https://www.nudgepodcast.com/mailing-list">https://www.nudgepodcast.com/mailing-list</a> by Nudge
