Beyond Consumers: Understanding What Truly Matters to People, With Dave McCaughan


Listen Later

“Stop calling them consumers.” That’s the message from Dave McCaughan, founder of Bibliosexual, who’s spent his career decoding how people actually live, buy, and believe—especially across the vast, diverse markets of Asia.

This conversation dismantles the myth of generations and reframes marketing as a deeply human art form built around life stages, stories, and what truly matters.

Dave shares insights on why Asia’s complexity offers the best lessons for global brands—and how shifting from selling to understanding is the real edge of influence.

Tune in to hear Dave’s thoughts on:

  • How can brands move beyond surface-level data to truly understand what matters to people?
  • You’ve said that focusing on “generations” is a myth—and that “lifestages” are what really count. Can you unpack that idea for us?
  • How does this lifestage approach help brands navigate the cultural and behavioral differences between markets?
  • When you look across Asia, do you see the region setting global trends—or simply interpreting them in unique ways?
  • What are three shifts happening right now in Asia that marketers in the U.S. should be paying close attention to?
  • And much, much more!
