Marketing Matters

Neuromarketing is a new field that uses MRI technology to measure brain response to marketing messages.

And while I'm sure it has much merit, as a marketer and branding expert in the areas of green marketing, organic branding, social change communications, the LOHAS consumer and wellness marketing, what I'm really most interested in is the heart.

Brands create an emotional doorway that open space for consumers to connect with products and services deeply and with resonance. A box of crackers for instance (Annie's Cheddar Bunnies) represent not only cheesy, organic, healthy snacking—they "feel" fun, playful and trustworthy.

The heart after all, has its own intelligence. And at the end of the day, it's an emotional connection that transforms buyers, into brand evangelists.
