Hi there - Jen here :)
🧠Episode 602 of the Choice Hacking podcast is now live!
Today’s we’re diving into the story of a true brand underdog - the Mini.
A tiny car that’s accomplished big things, the Mini was created to be a penny-pinching fuel-saving car for post-war Brits.
But now, its unconventional design and savvy psychology marketing moves have created a global cult following in the form of motoring clubs, YouTube channels, and it was even voted the world’s second most influential car, right behind Ford’s Model T and ahead of the Volkswagen Beetle.
But how did Mini go from an uncool car for penny pinchers to a cult classic?
Turns out there was some psychology at play - used purposefully, or not - that helped Mini (and parent company BMW) transform this spunky little car’s destiny.
👉 Listen on:
Here’s what one of my lovely listeners had to say about the podcast:
"No exaggeration; your podcast is the best-produced marketing podcast I've ever listened to. You are an inspiration. Thanks for all the excellent content!"
Stay tuned for Thursday’s newsletter -
I’m breaking down the psychological tools that Uber used to disrupt the transportation industry and how their enthusiasm for behavioral science led them to allegedly manipulate its drivers.
Until next time,
