Inspirational speaker and behavioural economics expert Sonia Friedrich will headline the Women in Packaging breakfast forum on 2 April in Melbourne.

Inspirational speaker and behavioural economics expert Sonia Friedrich will headline the Women in Packaging breakfast forum on 28 October in a live virtual event during the AIP conference.

KEYNOTE: Acclaimed inspirational speaker and behavioural economics expert Sonia Friedrich will deliver the keynote address, giving insight into the unconscious behaviours that cause shoppers to pick up a product. She will show how understanding how the brain works and applying this into packaging and design can change behaviour choice.

Sonia is renowned for her clarity and has created models that apply Nobel Prize-winning knowledge and experimental research in behavioural economics to shatter entrenched paradigms and transform industry.

Sonia believes the opportunity lies in sharing brain knowledge across departments, which will create a closer relationship between packaging, design and marketing and impact bottom line revenue outcomes.

Her address will consider the impact of Covid-19 on buying behaviour, looking at the cycle of panic, fear, isolation, and uncertainty the seems to be continuing to loop at the moment and foreseeable future; consider and how and why people spend money; and at how brands can win in these times.
