Examples of using neuromarketing in practiceCoca-Cola and the power of the brand in the customer's mind
Coca-Cola is one of the most recognizable examples of neuromarketing in practice. The brand has been building its position for years by appealing to emotions such as happiness, nostalgia and community. Studies using fMRI have found that the sight of the Coca-Cola logo activates areas of the brain responsible for pleasure and positive memories.

In one experiment, researchers gave participants two different drink samples: one labeled Coca-Cola and the other Pepsi, although both came from the same bottle. The results showed that most people preferred the sample with the Coca-Cola logo, confirming the power of brand perception – customers not only taste the product, but also experience the emotions associated with it.

Coca-Cola consistently leverages these results to create ads that focus on joyful moments in life, such as family gatherings or friendly get-togethers over a bottle of Coke.


Apple is a brand that has mastered the art of evoking emotion through simplicity. By combining minimalist design with strong emotional messages, Apple has built a unique bond with consumers who see its products as an expression of lifestyle and status.

Neuromarketing plays a key role in Apple’s product and vietnam telegram data packaging design. Neuromarketing research shows that smooth, rounded edges and a sparse color palette activate parts of the brain responsible for aesthetics and pleasure.
