Personalisation with Emotion at the Core

19 May 2026
3-B45
FESPA Conference
Personalisation continues to grow as a key driver of value in print and visual communications, but it's true impact lies in the emotional connection. This panel highlights the emotional triggers behind successful personalised products, from local cultures and shared identities to personal stories and a sense of belonging. Panelists will discuss how understanding cultural context, community values, and human behaviour can transform personalisation from a technical process into a meaningful experience. Through real examples and practical insights, this session will examine how emotion influences engagement, brand perception, and long-term loyalty. Figure out how printers and brands can design personalised products that feel authentic rather than automated.
