Dr. Aaron Reid explores the history of connecting with consumer subconscious and a discussion of what the future holds for implicit research technologies. The non-conscious impact of marketing is universal with a long history, predating the printing press, and a future that will eclipse our most effective advertising today. Dr. Reid takes us on a journey showing how non-conscious marketing is not a “nice-to-have” but rather is essential from the selling of commodities and premium goods to the very propagation of life. Illustrated with sales evidence from consumer case studies, this talk demonstrates how emotion and reason combine uniquely within humans to produce consumer behavior. The audience will learn how to combine emotion and reason in their predictive consumer models, and will walk away armed with access to technologies for quantifying the impact of emotion on choice.

A 165 MILLION YEAR OLD MATING CALL:
DIFFERENTIATION IN A NOISY ENVIRONMENT
Jurassic Chirp
“Curiously, A. musicus sang at a relatively low frequency—about 6 kHz—compared
with the 10 kHz or greater of most living katydids. That’s a clue to the Jurassic
environment of ferns and conifers in which it lived. Among other things, low-frequency
sounds carry farther, penetrate underbrush better and are more readily detected amid
a din than are high-frequency sounds.” SOURCE: SMITHSONIAN

17. Is there a globally scaled
method for measuring the non-
conscious?
18. WON’T SAY
Market Researchers
have long known that
Consumers often
won’t tell you the
true drivers of their
behavior for fear of
social embarrassment.
19. CAN’T SAY
However, recent
advances in behavioral
science have revealed
that Consumers often
don’t have conscious
access to the true drivers
of their behavior.
20. Implicit research techniques must not be direct,
deliberate, controllable self-assessments.

Emotion often overrides our “reason” in our daily lives
There is a special desperation that comes from watching the sun
set outside your desk window as your fingers keep clicking away
at the keys. And the unique exhaustion from a day that’s
lingered too long makes your trip to the near-empty
supermarket—and your attempt to scrounge up something
resembling a meal at this fleeing hour—a protracted, sagging
sigh.
You know exactly what you need: a jar of marinara sauce and
some rigatoni, maybe a crown of broccoli or a loaf of focaccia. But
the bright shock of red that greets you as you walk through the
sliding doors diverts you from your path. The color and the
slightly sweet scent of all the stacked pints of organic
strawberries at the perimeter display stir old memories of
summers spent sitting in the humid dusk watching the haze
dissipate as the sun dips below the peaks of the roofs.
On those nights, plucking the green crowns from the red bodies
was Zen meditation. You need that sort of contentment tonight,
and you won’t miss the 7 dollars it costs you.

We’re going to show case studies of real in market validation of the theory, measures and models.
But before we do that we need to ask a question…
Perhaps it began before then – consider some “marketing” that is currently happening in New Guinea.
Now let’s consider the “Superb Bird of Paradise”
Here is a replication of an advertisement for a “product” – that I would venture to say is likely the oldest marketing message you’ve ever heard – a 165 million year old mating call. Look at the description of that marketplace – ferns and conifers and a katydid had to have a message that could cut through the clutter of other messages in the environment – a 6 HZ subconsciously influential call…Does that sound familiar to anyone
Does this have any human correlaries?
It’s not all about sex, right?
Revenge matters too –
What if you could predict that kind of social contagion?
It’s not all funny, either, right?
Wouldn’t it be great to be able to predict that kind of social contagion?
