From Christmas with Michael Bublé down your local ASDA, to Morrison's anthropomorphic oven gloves and even notable absences (nice work, Iceland!), watching 2023’s crop of Christmas ads is the perfect way to see behavioural science, creativity and data at work. Some strike gold in unlikely places (think Kevin the Carrot), others flop, but all seek to capture your attention, influence loyalty and drive your rational and irrational behaviour. 

Shrewd application of behavioural science, creative thinking and knowing the strengths and limitations of data is where the magic happens. It's also the focus of my MAD//Masters By Rory Sutherland 12 week CPD-accredited programme. 

Kicking off this week, I've created MAD//Masters to help people like you ask more questions, consider counterintuitive ideas and be bold enough to take creative risks using a bedrock of understanding I've gained from my successes, failures and geeky fascination with academia. 

Whether you're a marketer, business leader, new business exec, b2b practitioner or founder, the course is designed to help you experiment, consider the relatively untapped power of behavioural science and steal a march on the competition without breaking the bank. 

The first episode is now live and there are just a handful of places remaining on this autumn's course.  So why not give yourself, a client or best buddy the gift of MAD//Masters By Rory Sutherland?
