The Wheel Of Motives™
Emotional Platforms
Engage BRAND AVIATORS™ to:
- Give your brand an inner structure by linking it to a universal human biological value and the right mental hierarchies and concepts
- Discover totally new platforms and white space opportunities in existing categories for your brand
- Tap into them through concepts backed up by neurobiology and biosemiotics
- Inject emotions back into product features and brand distinctive assets
- Neurally align all consumer touchpoints: messages, products, packaging, and develop a detailed new product brief in which all elements are neurally aligned to escape any clutter
Use the neurobiological lens to:
- Go beneath the surface of rationalized stated needs to discover uncharted mental territories
- Escape technology boundaries by rooting innovation in what people feel
- Neurally translate needs into ingredients, materials, shapes, words, colors, sounds etc.
- Predict trends before they emerge capturing the deeper underlying shifts in consumer behavior
- Base your decisions on measurable, scientific foundations
- Discover new aspects of your brand character that allow new products to be developed
How does it work?
Every product / service category is driven by fundamental neurobiological motives that imbue brand choice with meaning. Meaning is created in the psychological and neurophysiological interface creating strong predispositions that guide brand preference. By activating the deepest neurobiological motives driving the category, a brand becomes a meaningful choice, boosting profitability.
Underlying all behavior are evolutionarily preserved mechanisms that have helped us survive and become humans. Brain systems lead behavior down certain pathways that have proved to be of biological value.

Our emotions reflect our neural experience. As abundant and varied as our emotions are, they all stem from 12 Fundamental Human Motives, the irreducible forces culminating in life.
In its search to integrate and make sense of everything in our environment, our brain forms configurations, groups with internal correspondences and structural equivalents that shape hierarchies of meaning and rhythms into a type of coherent language, the source code of our behavior. The fascination of our brain with everything around us, as well as all human values, and hierarchies of concepts can be explained neurobiologically.

Our Fundamental Human Motives are like bare patterns in any language. An average brand may gain some transitory attractiveness through intuition, improvisation or luck. Successful brands infuse the patterns, fertilizing the basic forms, in a very particular way, according to their own genetic codes.
The Wheel Of Motives™ help us go beyond the chaotic world of emotions to reach back to their origins, the way they come into being, and the way they are experienced biologically and psychologically, thus establishing their hierarchies to build the deepest, most subtle, and most relevant narratives with instant appeal. It provides an understanding of the fundamental routes through which emotions arise bringing efficiency, clarity, order and predictability to our strategies.
