Heads and Hearts: Consumer Engagement Where it Counts

Sunday, March 13
11:00AM - 12:00PM

Westin Austin Downtown
Continental 3
310 E 5th ST

As the proliferation of online purchasing puts a global marketplace in everyone’s palm, how and why do select products emerge from the paralyzing pack of choices into the pantheon of “it” brands, whether for a fleeting moment or for generations? Like guests at the perfect dinner party, four thought-provoking panelists debate and discuss this conundrum from the sometimes-conflicting points of view of a global retail and branding expert, a style columnist who tracks micro and macro trends in real time, a neuroscientist who can trace a marketing message to the hormones and neurochemicals it triggers in a consumer, and the brand director charged with making Cadillac cool again.
