Armed with both a Bachelor of Engineering and an MBA, Wilson has taken his fair share of educational courses, but the one he found the most valuable was one called “Consumer and Buyer Behaviour”. “It helped me understand things like product differentiation,” says Wilson, “how to make marketing memorable; advertising; the impact of brand logo and positioning, and post-purchase dissonance.”
