047: Cerita Bethea on hand towels, Metaverse & the next behavioural science frontier

In partnership with BEworks, one of the very best behavioural science consultancies globally.

Cerita Bethea is Director of behavioural science at The Coca-Cola Company, and a practitioner of over 30 years standing, having also worked at Kimberley-Clark, Toyota and Ford.

Listen in for a lovely case study about washing hands; a nostalgic trip down Covid memory lane. We also project towards the next frontier; behavioural science in the metaverse. Your guess is as good as mine.
