Hear about:

Join MoPed for an evening with Carolyn Schofield.
Trustpower's TV ad featuring Blue, the three-legged dog, was officially New Zealand's best loved ad of 2022 (TRA/ThinkTV, the Nation's Favourite Ad research). But what does a three-legged dog have to do with electricity and telco? And it might have made half of New Zealand cry but what results did it produce for the business? Carolyn will share how, as Trustpower's Head of Brand, she consistently applied data-based principles of marketing and advertising effectiveness in Trustpower's approach, resulting in a transformation of the brand and businesses results that outperformed competitors over many years. She will also share how using neuroscience based research methods allows you to look into people's brains and understand how people are responding to your advertising at a subconscious level, and why their subconscious responses are so important.
