Neuromarketing Research Services

Brandspeak delivers B2C and B2B neuromarketing research that measures subconscious, instinctive reactions to creative assets, experiences and communications.

By combining neuroscience techniques with behavioural understanding, we help organisations evaluate attention, emotion and processing fluency across campaigns, packaging, digital journeys and wider brand touchpoints.

Neuromarketing Research?

What Is Neuromarketing Research?

Neuromarketing research helps brands uncover the subconscious, System 1 reactions that drive real-world decisions. Using non-conscious measurement tools including eye-tracking, facial coding and implicit testing, it reveals how consumers instinctively respond to concept stimuli, advertising, packaging and other communications.

By integrating neuroscience with behavioural insight, neuromarketing provides a more complete and accurate picture of how creative assets perform.

Neuromarketing research gives brands access to non-conscious reactions to understand what truly drives attention, emotion and decision-making and helps strengthen creative impact, messaging effectiveness and brand performance.

Benefits of Neuromarketing Research

Neuromarketing allows you to identify the emotional response to your product and communications, providing accurate data to inform your business decisions.

Neuromarketing Research Services

Brandspeak provides neuroscience-led evaluation of creative assets, brand cues and user experiences across advertising, packaging, digital journeys and innovation concepts, offering a structured suite of research tools tailored to different formats and development stages.

Eye-tracking measures how visual information is consumed by capturing gaze patterns, attention flow and viewing sequences.

It highlights which elements are seen or ignored, enabling robust assessment of layout clarity, hierarchy and visual structure across advertising, packaging, shelf displays and digital interfaces.

Facial coding detects micro-expressions that reveal instantaneous emotional reactions to video, animation and other dynamic stimuli.

It provides second-by-second emotional readouts that show how storyline structure, visual changes and narrative moments influence viewer engagement across advertising, content and experiential formats.

Implicit testing measures non-conscious links between ideas, claims and brand cues using reaction-time tasks.

It quantifies associative strength and processing fluency, enabling robust evaluation of positioning routes, creative territories, design cues and core messaging long before audiences consciously reflect on them.

Client Feedback

Lauren Williams

We worked with Brandspeak on a brand awareness project and we were extremely pleased with the quality of service and the process. They understood the complexity of the briefs and asked plenty of questions to make sure they fully understand the objectives. They interacted with all levels of people in our business and understood the differences within the market and suggested ways to tie the research together so it was still comparable. The results were delivered with easy to digest summaries that could be used across the business. We would highly recommend using them.
