Neuromarketing meets Content Marketing

  • Use content marketing for human connection

Marketing, especially content marketing, should be all about people, connection and psychology, right?

  • Work with Colours to Provoke Emotion.

That’s four wide-ranging tactics, but the first made me realise how often, and how easily, marketers eliminate the human dimension.

Every time you let Marketing or PR manufacture a customer “quote”, you lose human authenticity.
