95% of consumer decisions happen subconsciously.

Win the battle for attention with neuromarketing insights that reveal what customers really want.

What is Neuromarketing?

  • Neuromarketing uses brain and body data to reveal what customers truly think and feel about your brand. While the field includes many tools, from EEG and biometrics to fMRI, we currently focus on AI-driven attention and emotion analysis.

  • The problem with traditional research? People often can't accurately report their subconscious reactions. They might say one thing, but their attention patterns and emotional responses often tell a very different, and more honest, story.

  • Neuromarketing tracks real-time behavior and responses that help predict sales outcomes and avoid costly campaign misfires. By analyzing how people truly see and feel, we get closer to the truth behind what drives purchasing decisions.

Measures Reactions

We use AI-powered tools that combine eye tracking and facial coding to capture consumer responses in real time. This technology reveals authentic attention patterns, emotional reactions, and engagement levels that occur automatically, uncovering the subconscious drivers behind decisions that people often can't articulate themselves.

Bypasses Self Report Bias

Captures raw data unaffected by social pressure or inaccurate reporting. Unlike focus groups where people say what they think sounds right, we measure actual attention and emotional responses in real-time eliminating the gap between what customers claim they feel and what they truly experience.
