A Mind for Marketing

The Business Case for Humour


Listen Later

Who remembers your last campaign? No one?! That's the problem.

In this episode, I speak with Paddy Gilmore, founder of HumourScope®, about why humour isn't a creative risk, it's a commercial advantage.

A lot of marketing today is built to satisfy platforms. It hits the metrics. It looks good in a report. But in the real world? It's forgettable.

Humour changes that. Not because it's "funny," but because it creates a reaction. And that's what people remember.

We get into:

  • Why humour makes brands easier to remember
  • Managing risk without defaulting to safe work
  • What Snickers and Volvo can teach us about growth
  • Why this matters even more in B2B and serious categories

If your marketing feels safe, there's a good chance it's being ignored.
