Summer Reading List: Brainfluence by Roger Dooley
I had the privilege of meeting Roger Dooley at SXSW in 2012. His new book Brainfluence makes the my summer reading list because I believe neuroscience will play a major role in the shift of marketing. More importantly, understanding how the brain responds to various inputs will only help marketers better understand how to be more engaging and relevant.
My hope is that as social and neuro science make their way into business, executives and strategists will change their overall approach from just idea or creative-based campaigns to include substantive engagement
Here’s the official description:
Practical techniques for applying neuroscience and behavior research to attract new customers Brainfluence explains how to practically apply neuroscience and behavior research to better market to consumers by understanding their decision patterns. This application, called neuromarketing, studies the way the brain responds to various cognitive and sensory marketing stimuli. Analysts use this to measure a consumer’s preference, what a customer reacts to, and why consumers make certain decisions. With quick and easy takeaways offered in 60 short chapters, this book contains key strategies for targeting consumers through in-person sales, online and print ads, and other marketing mediums.
This scientific approach to marketing has helped many well-known brands and companies determine how to best market their products to different demographics and consumer groups. Brainfluence offers short, easy-to-digest ideas that can be accessed in any order.
