How brands are using facial recognition to transform marketing

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.

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.

Branding and the Brain

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.

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.
