As a brand manager in the 1980s, Leslie Zane saw brand-building differently from the rest of the industry and, like many unconventional thinkers, her recommendations were often dismissed. Instead of direct persuasion, Zane argued that indirect messages were more effective with consumers. Instead of judging products and content on likes and dislikes, she found that positive associations were a better predictor of purchase.
In 1995, seven years before Daniel Kahneman won the Nobel Prize for his “System One” thinking, Zane pioneered and launched TRIGGERS®—the only proven method for changing instinctive customer behavior and increasing market share. It was also the first brand strategy firm founded by a woman. TRIGGERS® has a 25-year track record as practitioners (not just theorists) of behavioral science, boosting top-line growth consistently.
This philosophy is ever-present in everything we do.
