We react differently to things we’ve seen before than to unfamiliar things, says @rorysutherland. When people buy well-known brands, there's less mental activity going on and so less anxiety suppression. Mere familiarly is the first hurdle in the funnel.

Thanks for the answer, @rorysutherland and well-said on fame.
You're right on Brand "Love" too - it needs a re-name. The neuroscience of it is about non-conscious effects (though to be fair 'love' is too.)

Our growth is entirely driven by balancing brand & performance. And we were double or triple counting the impact search was having. By increasing brand and being on TV we have grown our search performance by 100% - @peckham79 @Habito

Creative is a form of costly signalling too – use a celebrity, great typography, great writing….
Upfront expense is reliable proof of long-term intention, says @rorysutherland @OgilvyUK

Without costly signalling theory, sponsorship makes no sense at all, says @rorysutherland @OgilvyUK

The natural step if you try to build a brand is to look for media like TV, particularly when you're asking for people’s trust, says @peckham79 @Habito

Excellent @Thinkboxtv presentation from @Ianhouse51 and Catherine Heaney with neat use of different research, incl. IRT
I'm rethinking my own experience of #SignallingSuccess with the highest ROI TV ad I know from my days at The Body Shop - costly signalling without the cost!
#SignallingSuccess - the biological idea is not that it is necessarily costly but that it appears costly. Much smarter to do things that look costly than things that actually are.
#SignallingSuccess summary by Ian Murray @mishmashhouse51
All video is not the same – send different signals about a brand
TV accelerates brand trust & resilience – key for smaller brands
TV remains a strong source of differentiation for attributes like quality & reliability
.@mishmashhouse51 found that brands advertising on TV, magazines and radio were perceived as most trusted to deliver on promises made.
Advertising on video sharing sites was least likely to deliver brand trust.

Fitness signals = financial strength, product confidence, quality
Social signals = fame, popularity, success
“TV stands out as the most powerful source for fitness & social signals” says @mishmashhouse51 's Catherine Heaney

What happens if you
Create a new brand
Give people details of its launch ad campaign
Give identical information, except for the medium used in the ad campaign?
@mishmashhouse51 did that. Watch them explain what they discovered https://t.co/q2kYkSE77R

Here’s a chart from the #SignallingSuccess study by @mishmashhouse51.
It shows what people said when asked about how much they thought different kinds of advertising cost.
It’s not what they do cost, of course, just what people perceive.

People ‘get’ costly signalling, says Ian Murray @mishmashhouse51.
They find it very easy to differentiate media in terms of cost and they intuitively understand what this tells them about brands that advertise in different channels. #SignallingSuccess
If you want to be believed, you've a better chance in broadcast than one-to-one, says @rshotton
In a study, twice as many people thought an MP would be lying if they committed to something in private compared to if they did so in public.
