Ogilvy UK Vice Chairman Rory Sutherland co-founded a behavioural science practice within the agency, which works with a consulting practice of psychology graduates who look for ‘unseen opportunities’ in consumer behaviour. At WIRED Health, Sutherland explores the psychological reasons why people do things and how perception and placebos can be used for a positive outcome. "It doesn't really matter why people do it so as long as they do," Sutherland points out. "There's a danger in activity which goes 'it's not enough for people to go and do the thing we want them to do, they have to do it for the right reason'. To be honest, I don't really mind if people buy an electric car because they think it's really cool."
