Nir Eyal’s Hook framework is grounded in best practices in behavioral economics, habit formation and the impact of technology. His workshop at RGA was engaging, enlightening and led to many new ideas for connecting with our clients’ customers. Even if you’ve read his new book Hooked, read all the articles on his blog, and watched every video – there’s still so much that you and your team will get out of Nir’s Hooked Workshop.
