P&G: healthcare acquisition helps us stay on top of consumer 'megatrends' M&S’s shake-up suggests its 'one brand' marketing strategy didn't work. Having spent the last few years, bringing the advertising for its two businesses – clothing and home, and food – together, Marks & Spencer has, in one management reshuffle, shifted strategy quite dramatically.

M&S’s shake-up suggests its 'one brand' marketing strategy didn't work

Patrick Bousquet-Chavanne, the marketing boss for the last six years, is out, as is marketing director for consumer and brand Rob Weston. And they will not be replaced.

Pinterest. 10 Influential Examples of Digital Neuromarketing. According to NeuroScience Marketing, neuromarketing is a new field of marketing which uses medical technologies such as functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging (fMRI) to study the brain’s responses to marketing stimuli. Researchers use the fMRI to measure activity changes in different parts of the brain and to learn why consumers make the decisions they do, and what part of the brain is telling them to do it.

Neuromarketing will tell the marketer what the consumer reacts to, whether it was the colour of the packaging, the sound the box makes when shaken, or the idea that they will have something their co-consumers do not. As you probably already thought, Neuromarketing is taking control over the digital world and has been utilized by almost every major company and university in some way or another, according to Imotions.
