"Hired by the world's leading brands to find out what makes their customers tick,
Martin Lindström spends 300 nights a year overseas, closely observing people in their
homes. His goal: to uncover their hidden desires and turn them into breakthrough products
for the world's leading brands. In a world besotted by the power of Big Data, he works
like a modern-day Sherlock Holmes, accumulating small clues to help solve a stunningly
diverse array of challenges. In Switzerland, a stuffed teddy bear in a teenage girl's
bedroom helped revolutionize 1,000 stores, spread across twenty countries, for one
of Europe's largest fashion retailers. In Dubai, a bracelet strung with pearls helped
Jenny Craig offset its declining membership in the United States and increase loyalty
by 159 percent in only a year. And in China, the look of a car dashboard led to the
design of the Roomba vacuum - a great American success story. How? Lindström connects
the dots in this globetrotting narrative that will fascinate not only marketers and
brand managers, but anyone interested in the infinite variations of human behavior.
The Desire Hunter combines armchair travel with forensic psychology into an interlocking
series of international clue-gathering detective stories. It presents a rare behind-the-scenes
look at what it takes to create global brands; and along the way, reveals surprising
and counter-intuitive truths about what connects us all as humans"--
