During this 175th episode of “Marketing Today,” host Alan Hart interviews Wiemer Snijders, author, editor, and curator of the book "Eat Your Greens: Fact-Based Thinking to Improve Your Brand's Health." With an emphasis on a scientific-based, self-learning, Snijders brought together a collection of incredible people to share a variety of perspectives on topics around branding and marketing. Today on the show, Snijders focuses on the creation of the book, what it took to pull it together, and the insights from so many innovative thinkers, especially those that base their findings on scientific facts. Snijders explains the structure of the "Eat Your Greens" and why he wanted to structure it in an easily digestible way. He wanted to provide a means for people to quickly pick up the book, read some short, topic-based articles, and challenge them to dive into those topics further. It's very much like "looking at a selection of painters from a certain period or style, and indulge on that, and exit a richer person." Snijders describes the setup to the book and the broad "briefing" for the book. He told people, "you can write about anything; you just have to back it up with facts." The first chapter was designed to focus on the fundamental ways we make choices as consumers. How do you approach the reality that "about 40% of your customers are going to only buy once, in five years?" How does that shape what we do in marketing? Snijders shares about the importance of focusing on evaluating/growing that group of people. "How do you actually measure effective advertising? Snijders shares incredible insights on how to use the limited amount of time we have to share our messages.

**Hot on the heels of our maiden podcast, we collar JP Hanson. ** **He is the CEO and co-founder of Rouser, an international strategic consultancy firm headquartered in Stockholm, where he works making client brands better, not just bigger, and stresses that his singular goal is to build client profit. ** If this wasn’t enough, he contributes to outlets such as The Drum and the IPA’s EffWorks, and is increasingly delivering entertaining, no-nonsense talks across the globe, as well as being a qualified lawyer.
