In today's fast-paced digital landscape, capturing your audience's attention is more challenging than ever. Enter emotional marketing – a powerful strategy that connects with consumers on a deeper level. But how can you implement this effectively and at scale? Let's explore the world of emotional marketing and discover how Creatify's new 'Emotional B-Roll' feature is revolutionizing video content creation.


The science behind emotional marketing

Emotional marketing isn't just a buzzword; it's rooted in psychological and neurological research. As neuroscientist Antonio Damasio famously said, "We are not thinking machines that feel, we are feeling machines that think." This insight forms the foundation of emotional marketing strategies.

Marketing expert Gerald Zaltman's research revealed that "95% of our purchase decision making takes place in the subconscious mind," emphasizing the crucial role emotions play in consumer behavior. Marketers can tap into this by focusing on 12 key emotions:

  1. Happiness

  2. Trust

  3. Fear

  4. Guilt

  5. Belonging

  6. Pride

  7. Nostalgia

  8. Excitement

  9. Anticipation

  10. Surprise

  11. Empathy

  12. Relief

Understanding these emotions and how they influence decision-making is crucial for creating impactful marketing campaigns. By aligning your brand with specific emotions, you can create stronger, more memorable connections with your audience.


Why emotional marketing matters

The effectiveness of emotional marketing is more than just theory. A 2016 Nielsen study found that ads with an above-average emotional response from consumers caused a 23% increase in sales compared to average advertisements. This statistic alone underscores the potential impact of emotionally resonant content. Moreover, emotional marketing helps in building brand personality. Jennifer Aaker, a Stanford professor, identified five dimensions of brand personality: sincerity, excitement, competence, sophistication, and ruggedness. By aligning your emotional marketing efforts with your desired brand personality, you can create a more cohesive and impactful brand image. As Jennifer Aaker notes, "Emotions can be used to engage the consumer and influence consumer recall." This improved recall can lead to increased brand loyalty, word-of-mouth marketing, and ultimately, better ROI on your marketing efforts.


Challenges in implementing emotional marketing

While the benefits of emotional marketing are clear, implementation can be challenging. Creating authentic, emotionally resonant content consistently is no small feat. It often requires significant time, resources, and creative energy – luxuries that many businesses, especially smaller ones, may not have. Moreover, emotions are subjective and can be interpreted differently across cultures and individuals. What resonates with one audience segment might fall flat with another. This necessitates extensive testing and optimization, which can be time-consuming and costly. Lastly, the need for diverse, high-quality video content to support emotional marketing strategies can be a significant hurdle, especially for businesses without large production budgets or in-house video teams.


Creatify's 'Emotional B-Roll' feature

This is where Creatify's new 'Emotional B-Roll' feature comes into play.
