Martin Lindstrom's Biography

Martin Lindstrom is one of the world’s most trusted voices on branding, culture, and consumer psychology. Named to TIME magazine’s “100 Most Influential People,” he blends forensic consumer insight with creative flair to help organisations—from Coca-Cola and Nestlé to LEGO and Maersk—win relevance in an age of relentless disruption.

A pioneer of neuromarketing, Lindstrom directed a groundbreaking US $7 million fMRI study that revealed how brands trigger subconscious decision-making, reshaping modern marketing practice. Today he turns the same investigative lens on “small data”—the tiny, often-overlooked clues that signal seismic shifts in customer behaviour—unlocking growth opportunities long before competitors spot them.

His eight best-selling books—including Buyology, Small Data, and The Ministry of Common Sense—have been translated into more than 60 languages and serve as playbooks for leaders seeking to humanise business while driving results. In 2023 Thinkers50 again ranked him among the planet’s top management thinkers, citing his fresh, actionable ideas on customer-centric transformation.

On stage, Lindstrom combines vivid storytelling with hard-won data, weaving live case studies, video, and sound to ignite audience imagination and spur immediate action. Whether dismantling bureaucratic “corporate nonsense” or mapping the future of consumer trust amid AI, he equips executives with practical tools to build resilient, commonsense cultures and category-defining brands.
