Training Academy #2: Neuromarketing for Social Marketing Media Analysis
New, new, new! In collaboration with the Muma College of Business at USF, we will take you inside a state-of-the-art consumer research lab equipped with eye tracking, galvanic skin response, heart rate, facial emotion sensors, and other tools used to assess consumer response to marketing stimuli. Day 1 will be spent at the Sand Key learning the “what and why” of neuromarketing research. Day 2 will be hands-on “how?” on campus at USF at the Center for Marketing and Sales Innovation lab.
With registration for the workshop, the CMSI’s technology partner, iMotions, will provide participants with a one-month trial license to their online data collection platform (i.e., no lab required), as well as their full customer support website.
