Brands tap into innate reactions of consumers to foster a greater connection
Implications - Focusing more on emotional components, brands are shifting their marketing and branding strategies to design imagery and aesthetics that speak more to innate consumer feelings, moods and reactions. Targeting not only how consumers feel, but their deepest fears, concerns and moments of happiness, brands are creating everything from short films to artistic campaigns as a way to tap into those innermost feelings of their consumers. Such emotional and abstract marketing tactics encourage consumers to move away from merely thinking about the product, and rather experience an emotional journey that they can immediately identify and relate with.
