FINAL THOUGHTS

1.

Empirical evidence has shown the importance of

subconscious processing in decision making &

communication effectiveness…

2. 3.

Why do we

score

communication

rationally

when we want

them to tap

into

customers’

subconscious?

Do we risk just

ending up with

safe adverts

that don’t

challenge –

merely selecting

the winner of a

beauty parade?

We can better

assess whether

communications

are really

connecting to

avoid

misallocation

of resources.
