About the Author:

Phil Barden has over 25 years of client-side brand management experience (Unilever, Diageo, and T-Mobile). Whilst responsible for T-Mobile's brand positioning and development around Europe he became a client of DECODE marketing consultancy and first encountered ‘decision science.’

DECODE’s work led to the Liverpool Street flash mob dance ad, which increased T-Mobile sales by 49%, and further work cut customer churn in half.

This epiphany led Phil to set up DECODE marketing in the United Kingdom.

Phil lectures on decision science for the IPA and APG Diplomas, various MBA and MSc programs and is a regular speaker at client and industry events.

And, interesting fact – at a corporate lunch years ago, Princess Diana sat next to him and gave him her dessert!
