“Each morning, when I switch my computer on, I am extremely pleased that my job can help improve the quality of people’s lives in certain moments, for example, when purchasing”.
This is how I live my role both as an academic and as a team activator at m+f=! transforming businesses.
I do it by using latest-generation marketing, which includes neuroscience, digitisation, semiotics, psychology, sociology, and predictive analytics. This allows me to shape brands and customer experiences that please the brain.
