Dan Cobley: What physics taught me about marketing
Loading...
Uploaded by TEDtalksDirector on Aug 27, 2010
http://www.ted.com Physics and marketing don't seem to have much in common, but Dan Cobley is passionate about both. He brings these unlikely bedfellows together using Newton's second law, Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, the scientific method and the second law of thermodynamics to explain the fundamental theories of branding.

I think the physics just makes the marketing lesson entertaining and more clear. It's not that the physics is the power that's actually teaching.
