Stop Staring at Me: The Weird Psychology of Eye Contact in Ads đź‘€


Listen Later

In this Brain Driven Brands episode, Nate and I unpack a wild little study that found ads can be 30% more effective depending on where your model's eyes are looking.

Turns out, the difference between "I trust this brand with my organs" and "why is she looking at me like that?" comes down to whether your product is utilitarian or hedonic (fancy words for "practical" vs "fun"). We break down why eye contact builds trust for supplements and skincare—but looking away sells fashion and for-funsies products.

TL;DR: Your model's gaze might be the cheapest conversion hack you've never tested.
