Dr. G. Clotaire Rapaille
BIO
Dr. G. Clotaire Rapaille is an internationally known expert in Archetypal Marketing, Creativity, and Innovation. His unique approach to marketing combines a psychoanalyst’s depth of analysis with a businessman’s attention to practical concerns.
He has written sixteen books. His most famous books are The Culture Code, which was #9 on the bestseller list of Business week and has been translated in twelve languages, and The Global Code.
Dr. Rapaille’s technique for market research has grown out of his work in marketing, psychology, social psychology, psychoanalysis, and cultural anthropology. His work is an extension of many of the great scholars of the twentieth century, including Jung, Laing, Levi-Strauss, and Ruth Benedict.
Dr. Rapaille’s work for the past 35 years led him to develop a new process for understanding how we are imprinted for the first time by what he calls the Logic of Emotion, which is the code for each Cultural Archetype within the collective unconscious of a given culture. He is at the origin of Reptilian Marketing.
His vision of marketing is to discover the unspoken, unconscious, and unaddressed needs of customers, and to be the first to address them, resulting in a leadership position in your category.
Dr. Rapaille’s world travels, a term in the diplomatic corps, and extensive marketing research on product and brand archetypes for international corporations, have given him a fresh perspective on American and global business and the interactions among the Americas, Europe, the Middle East and Asia.
