The 21st century has been described as the century of the human brain. This is a result of the developments of modern neuroscience which, with new methodologies and technologies, have managed to unlock many secrets of the brain. Important questions about how the brain takes decisions and what influences how we behave have now reliable answers through modern neuroscientific research.
Marketing, in its continuous efforts to better understand the buying behaviour and decision making of customers, has embraced the neuroscientific method. Neuromarketing is a modern market research approach which uses tools that read the reactions of the human brain and body, so that brands can gain a deeper understanding of whether their campaigns will be effective or not in the marketplace.
Neuromarketing is emerging as a necessary approach in decoding buying behaviour, since 95% of all our decisions are taken in our unconscious mind, and some decisions are even taken by our brains up to 11 seconds before we are consciously aware of them.
The main goal of the event is to present the latest developments in the field of neuromarketing and to explore its best application through real case studies from the market. Marketing professionals from major brands will share their experience about the use of neuromarketing in five key parameters:
