NEW TOOLS FOR EVALUATING COMMUNICATION
Communication is effective not by what it says or shows, but by the feelings it evokes in individuals.
We all know that the messages conveyed are the essence of any advertising communication. It is important that the content evokes the “intended” feelings in the individuals it targets. Only in this way can we ensure that the advertising is memorable and thus capable of inducing action.
With PRE.COM® and POS.COM® by EQUAÇÃO LÓGICA, the NEW tool for assessing communication, we ensure the best answer to your needs.
