Presentation Description
Over my long career, I have been lucky enough to work with really creative researchers who have taught me to be fearless and creative. On a project for a US based restaurant chain, I worked with my videographer to record interviews without the knowledge of those around us, focused on the research participants who are in the know, and my own brand of sneaky ethnography was born. After Covid, I’ll take this approach back out on the road to explore all sorts of restaurants, hotels, retail establishment, auto dealerships and so much more. If you can go do it, I can study it! And have fun too.

Workshop: Using Games to Explore Human Behavior by Mark Earls of I'll Have Wh...InsightInnovation
The rich flowering of contemporary behavioral and cognitive science is revealing that many of marketing’s and market research’s basic assumptions about how people do what they do (and how we might shape it) are… wrong.
This workshop encourages delegates to explore their implicit assumptions about human behaviour but in a fresh and participative way (rather than as a seminar): using the power of play and group games to experience and explore what can otherwise be rather dry and theoretical concepts.
And in order to make the output practical, Mark will encourage participants to reflect and revise any working ideas they have about human behavior and to develop a toolkit of practices and ideas to populate this new map.
This workshop is energetic, fun and participative!

Digital Commerce Lecture for Advanced Digital & Social Media Strategy at UCLA...Valters Lauzums
E-commerce in 2024 is characterized by a dynamic blend of opportunities and significant challenges. Supply chain disruptions and inventory shortages are critical issues, leading to increased shipping delays and rising costs, which impact timely delivery and squeeze profit margins. Efficient logistics management is essential, yet it is often hampered by these external factors. Payment processing, while needing to ensure security and user convenience, grapples with preventing fraud and integrating diverse payment methods, adding another layer of complexity. Furthermore, fulfillment operations require a streamlined approach to handle volume spikes and maintain accuracy in order picking, packing, and shipping, all while meeting customers' heightened expectations for faster delivery times.
Amid these operational challenges, customer data has emerged as an important strategy. By focusing on personalization and enhancing customer experience from historical behavior, businesses can deliver improved website and brand experienced, better product recommendations, optimal promotions, and content to meet individual preferences. Better data analytics can also help in effectively creating marketing campaigns, improving customer retention, and driving product development and inventory management.
Innovative formats such as social commerce and live shopping are beginning to impact the digital commerce landscape, offering new ways to engage with customers and drive sales, and may provide opportunity for brands that have been priced out or seen a downturn with post-pandemic shopping behavior. Social commerce integrates shopping experiences directly into social media platforms, tapping into the massive user bases of these networks to increase reach and engagement. Live shopping, on the other hand, combines entertainment and real-time interaction, providing a dynamic platform for showcasing products and encouraging immediate purchases. These innovations not only enhance customer engagement but also provide valuable data for businesses to refine their strategies and deliver superior shopping experiences.
The e-commerce sector is evolving rapidly, and businesses that effectively manage operational challenges and implement innovative strategies are best positioned for long-term success.
Videos are more engaging, more memorable, and more popular than any other type of content out there. That’s why it’s estimated that 82% of consumer traffic will come from videos by 2025.
And with videos evolving from landscape to portrait and experts promoting shorter clips, one thing remains constant – our brains LOVE videos.
So is there science behind what makes people absolutely irresistible on camera?
The answer: definitely yes.
In this jam-packed session with Stephanie Garcia, you’ll get your hands on a steal-worthy guide that uncovers the art and science to being irresistible on camera. From body language to words that convert, she’ll show you how to captivate on command so that viewers are excited and ready to take action.

Black Box
While neuroscience was supposed to break us out of the “black box” of understanding the consumer experience, much of “neuromarketing” has put us back into the box by using questionable methodologies, a focus on emotion alone, & little integration with traditional market/consumer research.

By combining these tools, we are able to assess the consumer’s emotional experience for meaningful impact of a product and/or product attributes.
Beauty? Confidence.

Using product attributes (fragrance/flavor, texture, colors) and messaging to drive emotions.
•Negatively primed participants expressed little interest in looking at own face, though it was an overall mixed emotional experience probably reflecting feelings of embarrassment.
•Positively primed participants were very engaged and interested with looking at own face. Positive priming also appeared to rescue re-test decreases in self- confidence found in negatively primed and control groups.
•These results are quite interesting, suggesting that negative messaging may not be damaging to self-confidence. Positive messaging, however, may attract the most interest in stimuli as well as increase overall feelings of self- confidence. This work could be very useful for designing products and positive communications in advertising. However, our sample size was small and therefore further study will need to be done to confirm these results.

•Commercial 2 is an emotionally engaging communications vehicle as it achieves a Biometrics Impact Score of 7.6. Commercial 1 is also consistent with HCD Norms across key dimensions of cognitive communication and call-to-action.
•Commercial 2 is not as effective in telling an emotional story, as it achieves a CIS score of 1.3 which is directionally lower than the HCD Benchmark. This translates into lower call-to-action and perceptions of inspiration.

COMMERCIAL 1: STOPPING POWER* (BIOMETRICS DURING FIRST 6 SECONDS)
•Commercial 1 achieves Stopping Power that is slightly above the orienting response benchmark of 1.0 mostly driven by the face shots and the racer helmet shot.
–There is an interruption in this attention between seconds 2 and 4, where viewers are switching to memory retrieval vs. encoding details on screen. This does not seem to detract from Stopping Power for this commercial.

Attention to the rest of the commercial is disrupted as shown by the alternating peaks and valleys over time. This detracts from engagement, which mostly occurs during comparative sports sequence.
Some viewers found aspects of the commercial unclear or confusing ,and dislikes center on the shots of other sports.
Focus returns once the skater is in full view. She works to re-engage viewers and sustain involvement through the end branding moment.
39. 39
COMMERCIAL 1: BRAND IMMERSION* (BIOMETRICS) AND BRAND RECALL
Viewers are not engaged with the brand. They are more focused on the skater. The skater does serve as a linkage to the brand and may help drive recall.
Brand Recall is at acceptable levels compared to HCD Norms, but could have trouble breaking through clutter against ads that have more visual branding or are more familiar.
Spotlighted Skater & Brand Logo Scene
The spotlighted skater pulls attention away from the brand logo and as a result, viewers are more engaged with the tagline.

COMMERCIAL 1: CONCLUSIONS & RECOMMENDATIONS
Key Moment
Finding
Recommendation
Stopping Power (First 6 Seconds)
Glimpses of skater’s face and preparing for her routine grabs attention.
The introduction of the racecar starts to lose focus, but it engaging.
None.
Skater’s routine is the Most engaging and positively charged sequence.
Any time the camera loses sight of her, there are short, quick declines in positive emotion and engagement.
Try to keep skater in plain view throughout routine.
Comparative sports sequence is disruptive to the flow of the story. The quick editing from sport to sport causes loss of engagement and some confusion.
It is hypothesized that the transition from the feminine face shots to more male oriented sports may also cause confusion.
Reconsider role of these scenes or try to simplify voiceover.
It may be beneficial to shorten the clips of the other sports and show more of the skater in between these clips.
Branding moment does not immerse audience into the brand. The scene is very dark and the pan away from the skater causes loss of engagement and positive emotion.
Consider a closer shot of skater finale and her smiling as the brand logo is introduced.
The commercial performs at levels near key Biometrics benchmarks, but the sequence of comparative sports disconnects the audience from the story which could detract from creating a strong positive emotional experience and connection with the brand and viewers could potentially opt out of watching.
The quick editing style and somewhat technical voiceover of the comparative sports causes loss of engagement and some perceptions of confusion as focus moves away from the skater.
The figure skater’s face and her routine are the strongest content. The routine is so positive that when it is over and the camera pans out from her, positive emotion declines. This carries over to the branding moment.
Opportunity exists to improve the emotional impact of the commercial:
