The latest from Prosper on Forbes.com…
Gary Drenik, CEO of Prosper, recently talked with Dr. Martin Block, a professor from the Medill School at Northwestern and a member of the Applied Neuromarketing Consortium, to discuss new research on Neuromarketing just published in Frontiers in Human Neuroscience. The findings may lead to a whole new way of understanding and influencing consumer behaviors through the science of influence as a promotion variable.
In addition, the current issue of the American Marketing Association’s “Marketing News” features an article written by Dr. Don Schultz, professor (emeritus-in-service) of integrated marketing communications at Northwestern. In this article, Schultz highlights key areas which can create problems for marketers who focus more on distribution of messages than outcomes.
Together these viewpoints highlight how important influence is to marketing, media and promotion.
