Why Most Packaging Redesigns Fail with Dr. William Caruso

Episode 4

Friday, July 3, 2026 • Duration 38:16

Can a packaging redesign actually increase sales? In this episode, we dig into the science of packaging with Dr. William Caruso, senior marketing scientist at the Ehrenberg-Bass Institute, Adelaide University. Dr. Caruso explains why packaging doesn’t create demand but rather facilitates purchase, and why a redesign in isolation almost always does more harm than good.

Together with host Martin Schiere, Dr. Caruso challenges much of what marketers assume about modernization, distinctive assets, and cultural differences. He explains why marketers consistently overestimate the strength of their own assets, why no redesign in his research ever reversed a declining sales trend, and why "modern" is the wrong word for what brands are really chasing.

How Social Relationships Can Change Your Mind with Dr. Sarah Stein Lubrano

Episode 3

Thursday, March 19, 2026 • Duration 39:38

What makes some ideas impossible to change minds about while others are surprisingly easy? In this episode, we dive deep into the psychology of persuasion with Dr. Sarah Stein Lubrano, author of "Don't Talk About Politics" (though politics is exactly what we discuss). Dr. Stein Lubrano reveals the fascinating science behind cognitive dissonance and why our attempts to convince others often backfire spectacularly.

From her research on why farmers buy drought-resistant seeds while denying climate change, to Obama's organizing techniques, to why protests don't work the way we think they do, Dr. Stein Lubrano challenges everything we think we know about changing minds. She explains why your neighbor at the barbecue will never be convinced by your facts, which topics are persuasion-proof, and why the most effective convincing happens when people convince themselves.

Tune into this episode as we explore:

(00:00) What cognitive dissonance really means

(02:20) Why some beliefs are harder to change

(04:56) Identity, values, and brand loyalty
