Popular Talks by Nathalie Nahai

Reclaiming human connection in an ever automated world

This thought-provoking talk explores the intricate balance between the march of automation and human connection, and reveals how we can adapt to a changing landscape of decision- making and engagement in the face of evolving AI technology. As we look towards a more automated, performance-oriented future of consumer engagement, it can be easy to believe there’s increasingly little room for our own ingenuity, skills and imagination. Yet as we integrate more technology into our work and our lives, it is precisely our ability to step back and understand others at a more meaningful level that will enable us to thrive. In a quantified world, as marketing transforms from mass media to hyper-personalized, algorithmically targeted content, it’s easy to forget that behind each data point (and tiny screen) is a real person searching for moments of joy and belonging.

When it comes to marketing, as customers grow more distracted and sad, we must find new ways to reach through the noise to create genuine, memorable moments of connection. Given the challenges we face in retaining human connection in an increasingly technological world, this talk will showcase how our success (or failure) ultimately relies upon our capacity to capture and transport people’s imaginations.

Takeaways
1. You’ll discover how the quality of our engagement is deeply rooted in emotion, attention and memory, and what this means for optimising your strategy.
2. You’ll understand how to use heterogenous and homogenous communication techniques to capture curiosity and drive high-quality engagement.
3. You’ll learn how to harness customer motivation to move people from intention to action.

From how to build trust, communicate integrity, and leverage emerging generational values, to crafting a memorable brand voice and presence that will capture customers’ attention and drive brand salience, this talk outlines practical tactics and principles you can use to differentiate your business in a competitive landscape.

Takeaways
1. You’ll discover the 3 universal, psychological drives of self-determination that underpin human motivation, and learn how to harness them in your content.
2. You’ll understand how to use robust psychological principles to craft more powerful messages, and take calculated risks to attract a more engaged audience.
