Dispelling the myth that full focus is needed from your intended consumer base to get long-term loyalty and engagement, Charlotte extolled the virtues of the modern audience\u2019s split attention. Looking away from the screen a campaign starts on, for example, doesn\u2019t necessarily mean it won\u2019t have an impact\u2026<\/p>\n

We ran out of time to answer all of the questions that came in during our session with Charlotte, so the neuro expert has agreed to share more of her brain power with us on testing out ideas and how to handle proponents of more traditional \u2018spray and pray\u2019 PR approaches.<\/p>\n

How can we test initial branding ideas to see if they are landing as we want? <\/span><\/strong>
\nOne of the easiest ways is to run a focus group, however you\u2019re relying on the fact that people will only answer to project a certain type of image of themselves, not actually what their subconscious actually tells them. You\u2019re also mainly engaging their conscious brains so may be affected by inattentional blindness and more often in this situation the counter argument.<\/p>\n

What I\u2019d like to use more commonly are techniques of measuring the brain directly, such as using fMRI scanners and EEG headgear that can measure electrical activity.<\/p>\n

Unless you have a good relationship with your local neuroscience faculty at a nearby Uni, these aren\u2019t as accessible or affordable at the moment, but I believe that will change in the future.<\/p>\n

Can you give some advice for countering when a colleague says we ‘spray and pray’ with our communication, implying we communicate too much?<\/span><\/strong>
\nCan you ever communicate too much?!<\/p>\n

It can often, from an internal perspective, seem like you do, but you\u2019ve got to remember you\u2019re hyper aware of it. To the external, messages often need to be seen seven to 10 times before recognition. I believe in a multimedia approach \u2013 messages need to be seen, heard, clicked, watched, interacted with and this all leads to them being felt \u2013 which is ultimately what you\u2019re aiming for.<\/p>\n

What is important is to make sure your message is shared where your target audience is and is directly tailored to them at the right time.<\/p>\n

Some simple feedback from some of your customers would perhaps put a colleague\u2019s mind at ease, i.e. ask leads \/ customers \u2013 where did you see us? How often had you seen us, was it too much?<\/p>\n

Also they often use the pray element to say that it is not measurable. It can be hard to measure changes in perceptions and reputation without the tools above.<\/p>\n

Mention that all of the big brands have faith in their campaigns and that\u2019s often what leads to their success \u2013 they\u2019re willing to give things a decent chance.<\/p>\n

Try and get colleague buy-in from the start of campaign with messaging and ads \u2013 even if you\u2019re making them feel like they\u2019re suggesting it when really it was you \u2013 they will feel more empowered and give the campaign more of a chance.<\/p>\n
