How brands are using facial recognition to transform marketing. This post comes via Parham Aarabi, the CEO of ModiFace. Technology has significantly changed the nature of marketing, or so we are told. Local, social, real-time, and mobile are more and more on the minds of marketing managers, though the return on investment and best practices are both far from certain. Within this context, marketers are trying new experimental methods, with some interesting results and lessons. These innovative experiments span multiple industries and often combine elements of mobile, local and/or social, but they often share an element of personalization (i.e., making the marketing message about the individual, their friends, their photos, their location, etc.). One way of achieving a personalized marketing message has been through the use of facial recognition technology. Facial recognition is often associated with security and defense applications. Beauty Medicine In a similar way, facial recognition is making an impact on marketing for medical and dental clinics.
Underhand Tactics: Neuromarketing - Java Films. 4 Ways You Can Innovate Better, According to Neuroscience. Can Neuroscience Explain Innovation? What's Better for Business: Logic or Emotion? Answers From Neuroscience. Colin Camerer: Neuroscience, game theory, monkeys. Report: 70% of Consumers Trust Brand Recommendations From Friends. Seventy percent of consumers trust brand recommendations from friends, but only 10% trust advertising, according to a new report from Forrester Research. The study, based on responses from 58,000 respondents, also found that 46% of consumers trust consumer reviews and 9% trust text messages from brands. The findings come after at least one Facebook partner has affirmed that the social network's Sponsored Stories — which are based on friend recommendations on behalf of a brand — are more effective than standard banner ads.
Forrester's report advocates branded content, which analyst Tracy Stokes writes "has the ability to create brand differentiating by bridging the gap between TV's emotive power and digital media's efficient reach. " Stokes views branded content as a "pull" model vs. advertising's traditional "push" approach. Content that is developed or curated by a brand to provide added consumer value such as entertainment or education. Marketers appear to have gotten the message. EBSCOhost: Mind-reading marketers.

The science of neuromarketing is helping businesses tap into the customer's buy button.Social media is enabling businesses to attract customers more effectively than traditional media. Is there a connection between neuromarketing and social media? If so, what does it mean to business owners? The Neuromarketing / Social Media Connection I believe that neuromarketing and social media are connected at a very fundamental level; social media is the conscious way people are expressing their hard-wired instinct for survival and self-interest.
If this is correct, then the growth and expansion of social media we have witnessed in only the tip of the iceberg. Neuromarketing And Our Old Brain Neuromarketing tells us that we are hard-wired for survival and self-interest by our old brain (450 million years old). Survival To survive, our reactions to the world must be instantaneous. 1. 2. Paul Krugman | Big Think | Behavioral economics. The End of Rational Economics.
In 2008, a massive earthquake reduced the financial world to rubble. Standing in the smoke and ash, Alan Greenspan, the former chairman of the U.S. Federal Reserve once hailed as “the greatest banker who ever lived,” confessed to Congress that he was “shocked” that the markets did not operate according to his lifelong expectations. He had “made a mistake in presuming that the self-interest of organizations, specifically banks and others, was such that they were best capable of protecting their own shareholders.” We are now paying a terrible price for our unblinking faith in the power of the invisible hand. We’re painfully blinking awake to the falsity of standard economic theory—that human beings are capable of always making rational decisions and that markets and institutions, in the aggregate, are healthily self-regulating.
We are finally beginning to understand that irrationality is the real invisible hand that drives human decision making. Behavioral Economics 101. Neurobranding. Branding and the Brain. What does your preference for your favorite cola have to do with Pavlov’s dogs? New studies described in New Scientist used fMRI (functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging) scans of the brain show that our brand preferences may be stored in much the same way as Pavlov’s famous canines learned to salivate when they heard the food bell.
The tests used visual images and a juice reward to evaluate brain activity in humans. The subjects quickly learned to associate a particular image with a more pleasant juice flavor, and began (like Pavlov’s dogs) to respond purely to the visual cue. The article suggests that brand preferences are formed when an individual has a good experience with a brand. I find it a bit of a leap to go from a food reward to sophisticated brand marketing, but it’s certainly evident that we humans are readily conditioned.
What Neuromarketing Can Teach Social Media. I recently learned more about the field of neuromarketing at a lecture by neuromarketing scientist, sales presentation guru and passionate speaker Christophe Morin, founder of Sales Brain. For those of you who haven't heard, neuromarketing is the study of how the brain acts during buying decisions. Just as more active muscles in our body need more oxygen, the more active areas of our brain also get more O2 enriched blood flow when they are working harder. Using an MRI machine, this can be tracked, catalogued and studied. So, scientists know what you're probably thinking right now. They know our attention span during sales presentations: 20 minutes tops.
As I found out by reading Martin Lindstrom's book Buyology, they know how we want to mirror the sexy men and women in ads, whether we know it consciously or not. The most intriguing findings, according to Christophe, are that decisions aren't made in the part of the brain that controls logic, or emotion, or smell, or even vision. 1. 2. Bigger Brain = Social Media Success. Hiring a social media manager or a salesperson? Maybe you should have the finalists’ brains scanned in an fMRI. A larger orbital prefrontal cortex, an area of the brain associated with decision-making and cognitive processing, has been shown to correlate with greater social skills, according to a study by a team of UK researchers. Among the scientists was Robin Dunbar, who pioneered the idea that the average human is limited to a social circle of about 150 people (see Your Brain’s Twitter Limit: 150 Real Friends), a constant now known as the Dunbar number.
The study looked at “intentionality,” summarized in the paper as, “the ability to explain and predict the behaviour of others by attributing to them intentions and mental states.” It’s a measure of social skill, and in this study the researchers gave subjects stories to read and then asked them about the mental states of various characters in the story: Individual Differences.
