Are you a facts-and-figures thinker, or do stories and visuals sway you?


In this episode of The Humantel Podcast, host Lolita Morrow is joined by Megan Peitz, Founder & CEO of Numerious, and Melina Palmer, Founder & CEO of The Brainy Business.


Together, they unpack how literal and figurative cognitive styles can influence ad engagement and purchasing decisions — and what this means for brands looking to connect with different audience segments.


Things you’ll learn from Megan and Melina…

  • Why understanding people’s cognitive styles matters

  • How our Media group asked us to approach a new way to segment consumers

  • How people are distributed along a spectrum of literal to figurative thinkers

  • How these consumer groups differ from each other

  • How understanding people’s cognitive styles can help brand strategists communicate in ways that are more resonant to their particular customer
