PROGRAM 1 – THE GLUE THAT HOLDS IT ALL TOGETHER

The Power of Brand Personality: Why Customers Choose You (Or don’t)

Most brands are invisible because they’re forgettable. They look like everyone else, sound like everyone else, and wonder why customers don’t choose them.

But some brands win impossible markets. Markets are flooded with established giants. Markets where everyone said there’s no space left.

In this eye-opening session, brand strategist and brand marketer Ajna Csoma reveals the secret behind why certain brands create fierce loyalty while others fade into the background. Apple, Liquid Death. Triumphs we all remember. And a pitfall, when the CEO had to apologize publicly.

Then I’ll give you 3 solutions that work whether you’re an AI fanatic or not. The actual system to build a strong brand that wins.

This isn’t a talk about logos and colors. It’s a talk about psychology and the secret successful business use to build strong brands. About loyalty. About the go-to-market strategy, and about why people choose one brand over another. And these concepts are completely different from anything else on the market. You’ll be surprised. Maybe even shocked.
Mystery. Curiosity. Drama. Wins. Relief. All in one presentation.
You’ll walk out with the key to building a brand that takes a bigger bite of the market.

PROGRAM 2 – DOES YOUR BRAND REWARD OR PUNISH YOUR CUSTOMERS?

SCARF Model: Neurological Rewards in Brand Marketing

Your brand is constantly sending signals to your customers’ brains—signals that either trigger reward or threat responses. Most brands are accidentally punishing their customers without even knowing it.
In this session, Ajna reveals how the SCARF neurological model (Status, Certainty, Autonomy, Relatedness, Fairness) can transform ordinary customer experiences into powerful brand loyalty engines—backed by neuroscience.
Theory meets practice. These are proven frameworks used by brands like Glossier, Mindvalley, and Pret a Manger to create experiences that trigger reward signals in customers’ brains, rather than eliciting threat responses.
Perfect for marketers, service designers, and business leaders who want to understand the brain science behind why customers stay loyal—or switch to competitors.
In this talk, you’ll learn how to:

• Apply the SCARF model to every customer touchpoint (messaging, platform interactions, customer experience, product design, community building)
• Give Status rewards that make customers feel valued without expensive loyalty programs
• Build Certainty through transparent processes that reduce anxiety and increase trust
• Offer Autonomy in ways that increase conversions (not overwhelm customers with choices)
• Foster Relatedness through community strategies that turn customers into brand advocates
• Demonstrate Fairness that builds 83% more trust and directly increases repeat purchases

This is about understanding how human brains naturally respond to experiences and designing your brand to trigger the right responses.When products become commoditized and everyone has access to the same technology, neurological rewards are your competitive advantage. The question isn’t whether your brand is affecting your customers’ brains—it’s whether you’re doing it intentionally.
