How brands influence your mind - the key behavioural patterns revealed from neuromarketing
How do brands manage to influence our decisions without us noticing? This masterclass showcases the most effective mechanisms of neuromarketing – from emotional priming to storytelling and cognitive biases. You will learn which behaviour patterns brands deliberately target, how our brains respond to stimuli – and how you can ethically apply this knowledge for communication, branding, and sales.

When data protection meets HR and AI
Artificial intelligence is changing personnel processes – from candidate selection to performance analysis and employee management. However, there are high legal requirements in the HR sector: many applications are classified as high-risk systems under the AI Regulation, and data protection regulations also apply under Article 22 of the GDPR. In this practical masterclass, you will learn which tools can still be used legally today, where the limits are – and how companies can responsibly integrate AI into their HR processes.
