Over my 20+ years of working with startups, scale-ups, and brands like McDonald’s, AT&T, Adidas, and Starbucks I’ve developed the Choice Hacking Triple S Blueprint™. This is an approach to marketing that’s built on behavioral science and marketing psychology techniques, the latest marketing effectiveness research, and a pragmatic approach to growing a business for the long-term.

These principles guide our courses, community, coaching, and consulting work to help marketers and entrepreneurs avoid “random acts of marketing” and instead approach the practice in a more systematic and evidence-based way that empowers creativity.

What is the Choice Hacking Triple S Blueprint™?

The Choice Hacking Triple S Blueprint™ says that Simple, Salient, and Soulful experiences win.

  • 🎯 Simple: Is this website easy to navigate and understand? Is it clear what I need to do next?
  • 🧠 Salient: Are the critical usability elements (CTAs, buttons, etc.) and messages easy to understand, notice, and remember?
  • ❤️ Soulful: Is this website emotionally engaging? Does it create an emotional bond or experience with its users?

You’ve probably spotted our Triple S Blueprint™ logo in various places across the site:

Creating Simple, Salient, and Soulful customer experiences has proven business impact:
