Roger Dooley, Neuromarketer, author of Brainfluence the book and host of the Brainfluence the podcast, was the opening keynote speaker at Conversion Jam 4. We caught up with him later in the day and talk about the persuasion slide, creating a “liking effect” and dealing with the conscious and non-conscious parts of our brains.
Bart Schutz was the closing keynote speaker at Conversion Jam 4. He’s the author of Wheel of Persuasion. We have a chat about the wheel and it’s 200 plus persuasion techniques and about how at times you perhaps need to add friction to increase conversion rather than remove it.
Erik Modig is a researcher at the Stockholm School of Economics and at Stockholm University. His research focuses on advertising and how the consumer psychology of creativity affects advertising effectiveness.

Scott Hanselman dished out some serious “edutainment” (as he called it) in his presentation. He educated us about javascript at the same time as keeping us laughing and entertained. We grabbed him for a chat.

Cat Noone presented “My Grandmother’s books are neatly stored in an app” (which interestingly didn’t really mention her Grandma!). We chatted to her straight after her presentation.

Episode 80 is a link show. James and Per discuss three articles they’ve stumbled upon whilst dredging the internets. First – Everything is broken. Really, everything is broken. Can we fix it? Do we care enough to fix it? Second – UX without user research is not UX. Isn’t it? Does it matter? And lastly – Hey designers: stop trying to be so damned clever. Is the cleverness of your design actually getting in the way? How good is your usability filter? Read More
