Keynote Speaker – Human emotion: the ultimate ingredient of retail media. 

Dr Cristina Balanzo, Director at Walnut Unlimited and The Human Understanding Lab, part of Accenture Song.

Brands are investing in seamless omnichannel experiences to reduce friction and frustration, but are we truly maximising the potential of every touchpoint, the technology at our disposal, or even understanding the contextual factors shaping consumer/shopper decisions? People are creatures of habit, often shopping on autopilot, with peripheral attention guiding what they notice and engage with. Are we making retail experiences intuitive and easy enough? Understanding human emotion is key: it shapes attention, drives engagement, and ultimately influences action. By leveraging brain sciences and behavioural data, brands can not only refine and enhance emerging technologies but, more importantly, make decision-making effortless for consumers.
