THE BUSINESS-TO-BRAND TRANSFORMATION
IT ALL STARTS WITH THE BRAIN.
What is neuromarketing?
“Neuromarketing” loosely refers to the measurement of physiological and neural signals to gain insight into customers’ motivations, preferences, and decisions. Its most common methods are brain scanning, which measures neural activity, and physiological tracking, which measures eye movement and other proxies for that activity (Harvard Business Review).
Basically, neuromarketing is where neuroscience meets marketing and unveils the relationship between brands and the brain.
Statistics to share:
95% of all cognition, all the thinking that drives our decisions and behaviors, occurs unconsciously—and that includes consumer decisions.

What does a Neuromarketing Certification involve?
Why is it important?
Our founder, Nicole Powell, completed the Neuromarketing Certification taught by Professor Prince Ghuman and Dr. Matt Johnson, the authors of the consumer behavior book, "Blindsight: The (Mostly) Hidden Ways Marketing Reshapes Our Brains."
The coursework focused on the intricate nuances of the human brain and anatomy, with a particular focus on how these insights can be practically applied in marketing. The first part of the course delved deep into the complexities of the brain, providing a comprehensive understanding of the cognitive processes that influence consumer behavior. Dr. Matt Johnson is a neuroscientist who navigated the intricacies of neural pathways, decision-making mechanisms, and the subconscious factors that play a pivotal role in shaping our responses to marketing stimuli.
In the second part of the coursework, the focus shifted towards the practical application of this knowledge in marketing. From real-world examples and case studies, Professor Ghuman demonstrated how businesses can leverage the hidden ways our brains respond to marketing strategies. It was an exploration of how insights from cognitive psychology can be harnessed to create more effective and resonant marketing campaigns.
To get certified, Nicole had to pass several exams on each core section and topic.
As an aside, Nicole also writes for the New Neuromarketing blog, which was created by Unravel Research, a Neuromarketing Research Agency that conducts neuromarketing research for huge brands, giving HALCON access to comprehensive studies and research that we apply to our strategies.
