We believe that you have to have a real insight into your audience if you are going to communicate effectively with them.

We’ve developed tools like Emotional Mapping that help us to identify where your audience’s hearts and minds are – and to allow us to plan the most effective strategies to communicate your message.

It’s the first step towards genuinely engaging with your audience.

The second step? Inspiring, energising and empowering them with experiences that take them to where you’d like them to be.

It’s an approach that works – we’ve got the gongs to prove it…

Emotional Mapping

Emotional Mapping is a technique we use to plan the response of audiences on both a rational and emotional level throughout the course of an event.

We start with the givens - what the audience frame of mind is before the event and what we would like it to be at the end.

The concept is simple - any event is a series of experiences which occur over a period of time. That timescale can begin at the first pre-event contact point and end after any post-event communication.

The audience will respond to each experience on both a rational and an emotional level.

What they are able to comprehend and rationalise internally will depend on their emotional state at any particular point in time.

A well structured event will plan these interventions and audience responses in order to create a map of how we would like the audience to think and feel at any point.

This allows the creation of specific experience briefs for each stage of the event journey. Do we want the audience them to feel excited, uneasy or comfortable upon arrival, for example.

Importantly this allows us to create a specific set of criteria against which we can measure the effectiveness of the event as a whole - and its individual elements.
