Every week, the Bevi Edge decodes the subconscious why behind real buying decisions — and the exact behavioral move to put it to work in your own marketing. Read by CMOs and insights leaders at today's most innovative brands. No academic theory. Just what actually moves people to buy.
Your dashboard is honest about the what. Sales dipped here. This campaign underperformed. Retention slipped last quarter. What it will never show you is the why — because the decision that moved those numbers happened somewhere analytics can't reach: your customer's subconscious.
People don't decide with logic. They decide in an instant, on emotion, and then build a rational story to explain it. So the reason a customer gives you — in a survey, a focus group, a review — is rarely the reason they acted. Miss that gap, and you keep optimizing the wrong thing while a competitor quietly wins on the psychology you can't see.
The Mindstate Minute closes that gap. Every week, one subconscious driver behind a real buying decision — and the exact behavioral-design move to trigger it in your own marketing. Not a concept to admire. A tactic you can use before your first meeting Monday.
In one Frito-Lay example, changing a single 2-word change to a headline lifted purchases by 22%. Small change. Massive dollar stakes.
One actionable behavioral science principle you can apply immediately.
Real examples of applying Behavioral Intelligence to real work.
Zero fluff. Zero academic jargon.
Will Leach doesn't just teach behavioral science principles in academia. He has built a 7-figure brand consultancy applying these concepts in actual markets with actual brands.
He is the founder and CEO of Mindstate Group and the Amazon best-selling author of Marketing to Mindstates.
With over 25 years of behavioral insights experience, Will led Frito-Lay’s Shopper Marketing & Retail Testing lab and served as VP of Behavioral Labs at System1 Research. His teams have conducted more than 100,000 consumer interviews to figure out why people actually buy.
Now he brings that to marketers and researchers who are done with surface-level findings and want the subconscious drivers that truly move customer behavior. He also teaches Behavioral Marketing at SMU and Texas A&M.
