Hacking Brains: Kenda Mcdonald

For the past 18 years I've worked in marketing. I come from a creative / design background which evolved into media and film, and now I work in brand and business strategy.

The main thing that keeps me interested in marketing is that it's constantly evolving. Technology, media and, ultimately, the way consumers behave.

But marketing is so much more than communications.

It's the foundation of everything that we do in business. It's the research into our customer base, it's how we define and develop our products, it's how we build our teams. It's considered the ears, eyes and voice of the organisation. The reason why I find marketing so interesting is that it is the balance between psychometrics, creativity, business, and technology. In a nutshell, it's the nuance between science, emotions and magic.

To detangle the alchemy, I was introduced to Kenda McDonald and her book, Hack the Buyer Brain. This book is a marketing and sales gamechanger! I’m hooked.

So I wanted to talk to the author herself. We spoke about people, behavior and, most interestingly, the importance of brand building with the customer journey. Enjoy.
