With the 4th Industrial Revolution, upon us, human-centric marketing is the key to building brand attraction, as brands with a human character will be the most differentiated. The process starts with unlocking your customers' deepest anxieties and desires. It requires keen listening and in-depth research into what is known as digital anthropology. Once, the human needs of your customers has been uncovered, it is time for your to sculpt your brand with human attributes that can attract new customers and motivate your audience to indulge in brand inquiry and of course, focusing on building human-to-human connections.
Trade Shows and events are built on the psychology of social commerce. Social psychology is the branch of psychology that deals with understanding individual behavior in a social context. Therefore, it is a study of "human behavior as influenced by other people and the social context in which this occurs." Based, on the work of Robert Cialdini, there are Six Principles of Influence that consumers use to make decisions.
It is the understanding of the above 6 attributes of social commerce that expedites the development of a human centric-brand that gets it's head start with the understanding of Digital Anthropology — the connection between humanity and digital technology.

As a brand, it is imperative that you start sponsoring and or exhibiting at industry event, have the CEOs and the stake holders partake in the growth of the knowledge of your industry and make every effort to socialize your brand
2. AUTHORITY — EARN POSITION OF INFLUENCE

Humans have a natural desire to hang out in their own tribe — brands need to build tribes and facilitate environments where the customers can talk to each other. In a trade venue, think bringing together people outside the show hall.
