How does it work?

Below are the 10 lessons we have picked to share with you, we’ve chosen the easier questions too, so you should be able to pass this with flying colours. In the full paid courses you’ll have harder questions as well as 24/7 support from tutors.

1. Diversity is Key: Businesses run by culturally diverse leadership teams are more likely to develop new products, and deal better in overseas markets. What does ‘diversity’ actually mean in business?

2. We Are All Born Creative: Creativity requires the playfulness and absence of self-judgement inherent in young children. How do we reconnect with those traits as adults?

3. What is Behavioural Science?: Applying a “psychological solution” can solve a problem at a far cheaper rate than an “engineering solution”. Better understanding people helps us in business?

4.Nine Enders: Why persuading people to make big life decisions could be as simple as targeting people whose age ends in nine.

5. The Power of Storytelling: In 2006, the New York Times Magazine journalist Rob Walker set out to quantify the power of storytelling. How do we create valuable stories in marketing?

6. An Introduction to Marketing with Data: Marketing without data is like driving with your eyes closed. But data alone isn’t useful - it’s how you collect it, how you segment it, and how you put it to work that matters.

7. Human Beings Seek Meaning: To prevent our brains from becoming overwhelmed, humans have become expert pattern-making machines. How do stories help us make sense of things?

8. An Introduction to Social Media Marketing: The most successful brands on social add value to cultural conversations, engage and entertain - as we can see from The Sydney Opera House’s #ComeOnIn and Wendys’ #NuggsforCarter.

9.What is the role of a strategist?: A strategist’s mission is to look at a mess of data, thoughts, research and opinions, and distil it into something simple that everyone can rally around. So, how does that work?

10. Develop your curiosity: Curiosity leads to creative ideas that make more effective marketing campaigns. What can people in the business of creativity do to keep their minds open?
