Agenda

• The Art & Science of Mind Reading• Be a profiler

• Start with the facts• Use forensic evidence & behaviors• Set a plan to intercept them

• Marketing Automation: More than an Enabler

• Conclusions

Part science.. Part artWhat does it takes to be a mind reader?

1. Think of a number between 1 and 102. Multiply that number by 93. If the result is a 2-digit number, add the digits

together (i.e. for 35 add 3+5=8, etc.)4. Subtract 5 from that number5. Determine which letter of the alphabet

corresponds to your number: i.e. 1=a, 2=b, 3=c, etc.

6. Think of a country that starts with that letter7. Think of an animal that starts with the last

letter of that country8. Think of a fruit that starts with the last letter

of the animal’s name

Part science.. Part artMind reading experiment

Who’s thinking of…Kangaroos eating oranges in Denmark

SCIENCE - Questions 1-5 lead to the #4

SCIENCE - 4th letter in alphabet is “D”

SCIENCE & ART – Only 4 counties in world begin w/”D”

(Denmark, Djibouti, Dominica & Dominican Republic)

SCIENCE & ART – Few animals begin with “K” and Kangaroo is most common (Kiwi, Koala, Killer Whale, etc.)

SCIENCE & ART – ‘Orange' comes most easily to mind

ART – Making participants feel “the magic” without the disappointment of feeling tricked
