Why choose this course?
Customer-centricity is no longer optional. SEO and SEM aren’t just about algorithms—they’re about understanding the human behind the screen. Neuromarketing applies neuroscience and cognitive science to marketing to reveal how the brain processes, responds to, and makes decisions around marketing stimuli, helping you predict behaviour rather than guess it.
In this course, you’ll learn how decisions are made across the entire marketing funnel and how to turn deeper audience insights into strategies that convert. You’ll explore practical tools and real research, learn to separate real science from “brain myths,” and understand the ethical foundations of studying human behaviour. By the end, you’ll be able to design, test, and optimise marketing strategies grounded in neuroscience, with a hands-on practical session to bring it all to life.
Who should attend this course?
This course is designed for anyone with an interest in consumer neuroscience, whether working agency-side or in-house. It’s ideal for marketers who want to ethically apply insights from brain research to test and optimise strategies, gain a competitive edge, and enrich traditional analytics with deeper behavioural data.
It will be particularly valuable for SEO and performance marketers, UX and CRO specialists, product teams, and brand strategists looking to better understand user behaviour and decision-making.
