Marketing psychology and the hidden persuaders
Chris Hackley feels that a modern understanding of the psychology involved in marketing can help us to critically engage with it. Psychology is put to many uses beyond the discipline. In marketing, these can be especially controversial. In 1957 Vance Packard’s Hidden Persuaders described how the marketing industry used depth psychology and motivational research to manipulate the public. Chapters like ‘The psycho-seduction of children’ and ‘Self-images for everybody’ left no doubt about Packard’s moral contempt for marketing’s uses of psychological techniques. The public was duly appalled. Fifty years later, marketing’s persuasive role is generally accepted as part and parcel of the neo-liberal economic agenda.

The public was duly appalled. Fifty years later, marketing’s persuasive role is generally accepted as part and parcel of the neo-liberal economic agenda. Even so, residual suspicion of marketing’s psychological influence remains, and not only from those repelled by the coercive strategies of big business. Marketing techniques are blamed for rising childhood obesity and alcohol misuse, not to mention cigarette-related disease, the decline in public manners and countless other social ills from avarice to anorexia. The subtext of this criticism is that marketing’s effect is psychological because it influences people to do things that harm themselves and others.Some suspicions about the psychological influence of marketing are unjustified. For example, many consumers express a belief in ‘subliminal’ advertising effects, though there is no evidence that promotions flashed on the TV screen for less than 1/16 of a second either occur (OfCom rules forbid them) or could be effective in directing behaviour. Other criticisms are taken very seriously. For example, the UK Advertising Standards Authority recently banned a series of Smirnoff Vodka ads featuring a quirky character called Uri because, in their opinion, his ‘disregard for authority and socially acceptable adult behaviour’ would make Uri a ‘cult figure’ with under 18s, breaching the revised code of practice on alcohol advertising. This kind of argument seems to rest on an implicit theory of social group influence.In this article I want to offer a personal point of view on the uses of psychology in marketing. I feel that these are not necessarily shameless, spurious or sensational. In fact, I will suggest that the influence of psychology can enable a more thorough critical engagement with marketing practices. by: https://thepsychologist.bps.org.uk/volume-20/edition-8/marketing-psychology-and-hidden-persuaders
