Your 2020 crisis marketing strategy: neuromarketing. It's not enough to simply have a well-defined communication policy. In times of a crisis, the market is volatile, consumer behavior is unexpected, and the business, in general, will face sudden fluctuations. Interest in consumer neuroscience took off in the mid-2000s, when business school researchers started to demonstrate that advertising, branding, and other marketing tactics can have measurable impacts on the brain. Science has advanced rapidly in the past five years and has begun to validate many of the audacious mind-reading claims of neuromarketing’s early proponents. As the science becomes more validated and as more neuroscience PhDs leave academic labs for industry — brain scans are likely to become more popular with marketers.

At a 2010 White House signing ceremony for the Affordable Care Act, Vice President Joe Biden, as he embraced President Obama at the podium, said "This is a big **ing deal." Amidst the world's stir of profanity protocol today, researchers speculate that brain circuitry linked to emotion is involved when swearing. Regular language relies on the outer few millimeters in the left hemisphere of the brain, whereas swear words come from evolutionarily ancient structures buried deep inside the right half. One such structure is the amygdala, an almond-shaped group of neurons that can trigger a fight-or-flight response in which our heart rate climbs and we become less sensitive to pain. How true is this, and why?
