In 1982, an Austrian marketing executive named Dietrich Mateschitz flew to Thailand for a business trip. While searching for a remedy for his jet lag, he discovered a Thai energy drink called Krating Daeng that instantly cured him. Mateschitz knew he would have a hit on his hands if he repackaged the drink for the western market. Despite having an uphill battle on his hands, Mateschitz managed to make the product - now called Red Bull - a hit. Unsurprisingly, he used psychology and behavioral science to get there - knowingly or not. Join me today as I unpack the history of Red Bull, its innovative marketing approaches, and how understanding customer psychology made it a hit.
