Trustparency Study: How to Build Natural Brands

#sxsw #open2trust

Iap20087

In an increasingly collaborative world, consumers are not only more powerful, but increasingly skeptical and demanding - continually questioning and rethinking their relationships with brands. In this scenario, the process of building TRUST - the basis of any relationship - has changed dramatically. How does this borderless world impact our ability to TRUST? In order to investigate such an emotional subject, DRAFTFCB has developed a neuroscience-based study to understand how to encourage a more real and open dialogue between brands and consumers. The study was conducted under the Zaltman Metaphor Elicitation Technique (ZMET): developed at Harvard Business School, this methodology goes beyond our ability to rationalize, uncovering thoughts and motivations of our unconscious mind.

This Latinos in Tech session at the Holiday Inn is FREE and open to the public. However SXSW Interactive, Film, Gold and Platinum badges gain priority seating.
