The Colour Code: Unlocking the Emotion of Your Brand, with Nathan Jones

Meet Nathan Jones. He’s a one-man psychological research and training phenomenon. And we’re not using ‘phenomenon’ lightly: three psychology degrees; over a decade of emotion research; coveted by Fortune 500 companies; and a keynote resume that includes TEDx and Mumbrella360. (He’s also the voice behind ‘The burgers are better at Hungry Jacks’. True story.)

Nathan’s practical workshop on Day Two of SOS23 is a must-see for anyone who wants to connect – really connect – with customers. So that’s you. From the groundbreaking Colour-Emotion Brand Archetypes (CEBA) tool to elevating your emotional marketing, copywriting and intelligence skills, his immersive session will equip you to harness emotion and colour to supercharge your brand strategy.
