Measuring consumer's emotional response - The Six Sells Podcast with Scott Brown, CEO, Immersion
In this episode of The Six Sells Podcast, Mike Nicholson talks to Scott Brown, CEO, of Immersion.
Immersion helps marketers to measure consumers' emotional response to advertising and predict their resulting behaviours.
In the attention economy, our industry is fast moving towards eye-tracking studies to see what consumers look at, but with Immersion, you can also measure what a consumer felt.
Measuring Oxytocin and Dopamine and their effect on our hearts via a smartwatch is a game-changer for brands who want to understand how their advertising makes people feel.
The DDBO case study showed that Immersion could predict, with 83% accuracy, which advertisements would create the largest sales bumps.
Anybody involved in media, marketing, and advertising should listen to this podcast carefully.
