Introducing the Choice Hacking Foundations Course
Getting to "Yes":
Persuasive Marketing Messages
Do you ever feel like it’s impossible to get customers to do what you need them to do?
We spend so much time creating marketing that falls flat, because we can’t read people’s minds - their decisions can seem irrational and random.
But what if you could decode HOW to get customers from "I'm not sure..." straight to "yes?"
Evidence-based persuasion techniques help us peek inside peoples' heads and hearts, and design more effective marketing.
Based on groundbreaking research from industry leaders like Professor Robert Cialdini (ASU, Stanford), Nobel-laureate Richard Thaler, Professor BJ Fogg (Stanford), and more this mini-course will teach you the fundamentals of scientific persuasion, and how to apply it to your work in marketing and advertising.

Using Evidence-Based Persuasion to Influence Stakeholders
Whether it's a pitch, grabbing that promotion, or convincing your boss to try something new, we'll talk about how you can use evidence-based persuasion to get the people around you from "I'm not sure" to "yes!"
How Evidence-Based Persuasion Can Perfect Your Marketing Messages
There are countless ways to apply these concepts, but here a few of the most important:
- Frame creative communications: You'll understand what, when, and how communications can move customers. You will better understand how consumers make decisions, and what moves them to take action.
- Design more effective “choice architecture”: Choice architecture is the way we present a choice, and how this presentation influences decisions. These psychology principles can help us understand what language, tactics, and mechanics to use when marketing products and services.
- Inspire more persuasive creative: Evidence-based persuasion isn't about creating mechanical, stale, or formulaic creative. It's about understanding how evidence-based techniques can help inspire more creative, surprising, and effective solutions.

Every mini-course comes with free access to two live Q&A sessions with me, Jen Clinehens - author, behavior change strategist, and founder of Choice Hacking (and your instructor for this course!). These Q&A sessions will be recorded and made available to students.

Mini-courses do not include coaching or consulting time, but I'm happy to answer any and all questions in the live Q&A sessions.
For each cohort that goes through the mini-course, I offer two Q&A sessions. Students will vote on the livestream dates and times, and I'll announce the day and time 24 hours after the day the course is made available for students.
