Kornwestheim, Germany — Sep 2024 — The Evergreen Playbook, the marketing and strategy podcast hosted by David Göz, today released a new episode on brand science, evidence-based, growth.

The Evergreen Playbook, the marketing and strategy podcast hosted by David Göz, has released Episode 005 of The Evergreen Playbook: Brand Science, Applied. The episode features Ethan Decker, Scientist-turned-marketer at Applied Brand Science in a conversation about Brand Science, Evidence-Based, Growth.

What does the evidence actually say about how brands grow? Not theory — what the science shows.

Ethan applies the scientific method to marketing practice, helping brands separate evidence-based principles from received wisdom. Learn more at appliedbrandscience.com.

Ethan Decker reveals the science of brand growth — the evidence-backed principles that challenge common myths and explain what actually drives brand success over time.

He applies the scientific method to marketing: forming hypotheses, testing them against evidence, and updating beliefs when the data disagrees with intuition.

A must-listen for anyone who wants to separate what they believe from what the research actually shows.

"The most expensive thing in marketing is a confident wrong belief."

— Ethan Decker
