Title of the Presentation

NEURO-SCIENCE TO MARKET EMOTIONS, ECOLOGY & PURPOSE

About the Presentation

Right now - emotions, ecology & purpose are marketing’s hottest topics.

I challenge you to find a project or briefing that does not mention this.

Therefore marketing professionals, both on the client and agency side need to perfectly understand the role of emotions, ecology & purpose in the precise context of their category and brand — and this is notoriously difficult… But simple to explain:

the gap between what consumers say and how they actually behave is ridiculously wide when it comes to these topics.

Beyond Reason explains how their neuro-science method is now used by some of the world biggest brands and most successful agencies to remove this bias, and to improve the ROI of emotion, ecology and purpose based marketing initiatives.
