Few would disagree that emotion is crucial in building strong relationships between brands and people – however, building brands for the unconscious is still a challenge. Therefore, in order to measure emotions effectively, it is important for marketers and researchers to equip themselves with the latest evidence from neuroscience research.
Join Andy Myers in this whirlwind of a session, as we look at how neuroscience has opened a new frontier of how we understand human decision making. Exploring a range of bitesize cases where neuroscience has been applied, we will spark new ways arrive at compelling human insights across different brands and categories, providing for each of them a specific action/takeaway. In this way, we will translate the science into actionable insights that can leverage your brand and get closer to people. Your audience will not be bamboozled by science, but presented in an engaging and digestible format. Subsequently, your audience will not only be left inspired by what neuroscience has taught us, but these unique insights will be the sparks to drive new and exciting thinking.
This session will benefit anyone who works in marketing, comms, digital, branding, brand managers, insights, planning, and more!

About the artist:
Gaynor is an accomplished oil painter who is currently enjoying adding other painterly mediums into her creative practice at the preliminary stages.
Whilst nature may be the initial inspiration, it is the spur to large, bright initial layers. These then allow her to wake into her storytelling side which adds more precise details and hints to how you could travel around the painting.
She has had a mainly international collecting base from San Francisco to Sydney and is now enjoying having the chance to build local relationships within the UK including the Totterdown Art Trail in November “22.
Gaynor is also the co-host of the ArtChatter Podcast – Artchatter can be found on Apple podcasts, Spotify or wherever you listen to your favourite podcasts.
Her passion for giving back and community is essential part of her practice and Gaynor also mentors other artists who need a sounding board, either in their artwork or in promoting themselves.
