Emotional Response in Hotel Advertisements

A Report by G&R based on fEMG

Brands Included in Report

Information Objectives

  • Learn how hotel advertising compares to competitive commercials in terms of emotional activation.
  • See how differences in emotional response contribute to the traditional key performance indicators, of recall, persuasion, and ad liking.
  • Understand how emotional responses to category advertising varies in response to key advertising elements, such as narrative styles, visual elements, branding, and messaging.
  • Discover how fEMG and the measurement of emotional valence can help teams improve advertising performance.

Research Design


29 category users (48% male, 52% female) ages 25-54, were recruited in central NJ, and screened through a pre-exposure survey. Qualified respondents were invited to a central location for a one-on-one session and connected to neurophysiological equipment using non-invasive sensors. After recording baseline measures, respondents were shown 10 hotel commercials (rotated). Neuro-physiological responses were automatically recorded during the viewing. Following exposure, respondents take computer-assisted survey about the ads they remember, as well as attitudinal, behavioral, and demographic classification questions.
