About
Our emotions drive our behaviour, despite our best attempts at rationalising and explaining things ‘logically’. Emotional Branding is about capturing these emotional triggers to drive short term results whilst building long term brand value. This means your campaigns can be more effective and your brands feel more authentic.
Hi, I’m Richard Gillingwater MD of Emotional Branding. We’re an Oxfordshire based creative and strategic led brand agency who specialise in helping educational institutions and corporate organisations communicate at a deeper level with people through the science of emotions.
The science proves the greater the level of emotions in your brand and communications, the greater the levels of purchase, engagement, loyalty and support. This is achieved through the activation of specific ‘high-impact’ motivators in your brand, marketing, employee engagement and fundraising strategies and campaigns.
