How Brands Hack Your Trust

Your favorite brands are playing a psychological game with your wallet. It’s never just a random commercial.

If it’s a new product, they’re informing you. If it’s competitive, they’re persuading

you. If they’re huge, they’re just reminding you they exist. They wrap this in

specific vibes like fantasy or lifestyle to trigger your emotions. But the real mastermind

is Public Relations. This is when they generate news or buzz so it doesn't even look like an

ad. It’s cheaper than a commercial but hits harder because you actually trust

the story, even though it was scripted in a boardroom.
