In focus group after focus group, participants said the same thing. So, Euro RSCG Worldwide, New York, did the obvious thing: It called in a hypnotist.<br /><br />Members of these unique Volvo focus groups were asked to test-drive the car. Immediately afterwards they were hypnotized and asked their true feelings about the brand. It wasn't pretty: Many revealed that Volvo also equals being middle-aged. That idea "for some people was suffocating," said Michael Fanuele, head of planning at Euro. "Hypnosis helped get past the clichés. We needed the conversation to get to a deeper, more emotional place."<br /><br />Volvo's not the only one going to that place. Focus group hypnosis is increasingly becoming a "secret weapon" for Fortune 500 companies and ad agencies alike, said Susan Spiegel Solovay, owner of Brandvisioning, New York. A former Grey exec, Solovay has been hosting such groups for a decade. Her clients include about dozen brands including blue-chip beer, soda and telecom companies as well as 20 different agencies.<br /><br />A session, which consists of no more than eight subjects, takes two hours. The first 25 minutes are dedicated to introducing them to the process and getting them relaxed. "We need to ease the nervousness of what they've seen on television," said Solovay. "Everyone asks if we're going to make them quack like a duck. I wish stage hypnotists would stop doing that."<br /><br />Once they are in an "alpha" state of relaxation, the hypnotist will ask them individually about topics like the first time they experienced a product. "We want to find out the imprint of the brand," said Hal Goldberg, owner of Qualitative & Quantitative Research, Laguna Hills, Calif. Goldberg, who trained Solovay, is a former Leo Burnett exec who has been conducting these groups for 35 years. "People can describe the cookies their mother made them when they were 5 in great detail. This drives adult behavior."<br /><br />Avrett, Free & Ginsberg, New York, has been using focus group hypnosis for clients like Dewar's and Domaine Chandon for more than a decade. "I reach for this, depending on the client, whenever I can," said president Stuart Grau. <br /><br />He says it's particularly useful when consumers don't have negative feelings about a product, but just aren't predisposed to buying it. Four sessions cost about the same as a typical round of focus groups ($50,000-75,000).<br /><br />It's not for every client though, said Grau: "Some aren't comfortable with it. To some extent there could be some ethical concerns associated it." Goldberg and Solovay both stressed that being under the power of suggestion can't prompt consumers to say or do anything against their will. "It's not like we're asking people to take off their clothes and crumble Ritz crackers on their bosoms," said Fanuele, whose clients include the cracker brand. "It's about getting emotional content that is so much more vivid and colorful."<br /><br />Others question the utility of focus group hypnosis. "It's worse than nonsense. It's a part of the continuing trend of American businesses moving away from actual expertise," said Douglas Rushkoff, author of Get Back in the Box: Innovation from the Inside Out (Harper-Collins). "They are wasting their marketing dollars."<br /><br />Marc Babej, partner with the consultancy Reason, New York, concurs: "I have a particular venom for this area. These subconscious attitudes have little to do with purchase decisions. Most consumers navigate the marketplace based on the tangible benefits of the product."<br /><br />Though no one tracks the overall industry, Goldberg expects to have his best year ever and new entrants are hitting the scene. Hypnotherapist Keith O'Neill, based in Newport Beach, Calif., jumped in three years ago. "Somebody at an ad agency asked me to do it," he said. "It's great because it removes the high school mentality of focus groups. Usually cliques develop: There is the bully, the shy people and those that just want to fit in with the group."<br /><br />How deeply ingrained taglines and ad jingles are into people's minds was one surprise for O'Neill when he began working the field. "You ask them what the first thing they remember is and they say, 'Plop plop fiz fizz' or 'Where's the beef?'" Solovay uses Coca-Cola as a warm-up exercise because "everyone has Coke memories." Fanuele understands the skepticism. "A year ago I thought it was a silly little gimmick, but now I've been converted."<br /><br />khein@brandweek.comTracyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09649931265316225915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26631742.post-26987152391062433612008-04-22T00:03:00.000-07:002008-04-22T00:41:50.566-07:00Hollywood Hypnotist Kevin Stone, Makes History!I just got back from another awesome Kevin Stone Hypnosis Show!!!

I found such an article online from NationalLedger.com regarding Jennifer Aniston using hypnosis to deal with "her traumas" according to Star Magazine. The article goes on to say that Jennifer has been using hypnotherapy as a tool since her days on "Friends", and she continues to seek out hypnosis as a tool whenever she feels the need.<br /><br />The magazine then asked Kevin to comment on celebrities and hypnosis and he said, "it's natural for high profile celebrities to seek hypnotic treatment to make them feel more comfortable, relaxed and secure" I guess all the pressures of being in the public eye and the constant scrutiny of the media could "play with" even the most famous celebrities self esteem, and hypnosis can definitelyhelp with that, when done by a total professional like Kevin Stone C.Ht. (aka Hollywood Hypnotist Kevin Stone).<br />Kevin is frequently consulted on such celebrity matters since he treats so many high profile celebrities for smoking cessation, weight loss, stress reduction and confidence issues, but don't be discouraged thinking you can't have what the Hollywood Celebs have because you can! All you have to do is make the first move of contacting Kevin today and let him guide you the rest of the way to overcome any challenges you may be facing in your life. Don't forget to go to his website <a href="http://www.hypnotist.com/">http://www.hypnotist.com/</a> and check out all the Kevin Stone can do for you!<br /><br />Please continue scrolling down to read the text version of the article or click on the following link to see the article for yourself...<br /><a href="http://www.nationalledger.com/cgi-bin/artman/exec/view.cgi?archive=1&amp;num=3609">http://www.nationalledger.com/cgi-bin/artman/exec/view.cgi?archive=1&amp;num=3609</a><br /><br /><br />Monday, March 24, 200<br /><br /><a href="http://www.nationalledger.com/"></a><br />From NationalLedger.com<br /><br />CelebritiesJennifer Aniston Tries Hypnosis to Deal With Angelina Jolie BabyBy Karen DiazFeb 20, 2006<br />Jennifer Aniston is reportedly back in therapy to help her deal with the still intense media scrutiny of her own relationship and of course the Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie baby. But is she using hypnosis as well?<br />Jen Using Hypnosis?<br />That's what one published report claims.<br />Jen has sought hypnosis to deal with her "traumas" reports Star Magazine.<br />"She's been going to a healer for hypnosis ever since her 'Friends' days, a source tells the weekly tabloid. "She goes when she feels the need - and she's gone several times since finding out about Angelina and the baby," the insider continues.<br />***<br />"It calms her mind."<br />The magazine then cites Kevin Stone, an LA based hypnotist that says it's natural for high-profile celebs to seek hypnotic treatment as it allows them to feel "comfortable, relaxed and secure," he tells the tab.<br />Well of course he would say that, it's his business.<br />It should be noted that Stone does not treat Aniston, but The Star reports he has treated Drew Barrymore and Penelope Cruz.<br />***<br />If hypnosis helps Jen focus - so be it.<br />--Karen Diaz© Copyright National Ledger, www.NationalLedger.comTracyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09649931265316225915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26631742.post-66044075724323007082008-03-21T05:07:00.000-07:002008-03-21T05:17:51.207-07:00Kevin Stone Puts the Smoke Out In HollywoodThis is ****BREAKING NEWS***** New press release about Kevin Stone C.Ht. and his successful Total Power Program CD Series, order now at <a href="http://www.hypnotist.com/">www.hypnotist.com</a><br /><br /><br /><a href="javascript:openlittleme("></a>Hypnotist Stops Celebrities From Smoking<br /><br />Los Angeles, CA 90048<br /> <br />March 21 2008<br /><br /><br />Hypnosis can help you break the habit and overcome the physical struggle! Kevin's CD program Stop Smoking Now! The same CD used by many celebrities) has built in tools to prevent weight gain and keep you a permanent non-smoker. What makes this program so effective: People who smoke realize the high risks, but it doesn't prevent them from lighting up. This is because your subconscious mind has been conditioned (trained) to associate pleasure to smoking and pain to not smoking. Since human beings are instinctively driven to seek pleasure and avoid pain, your brain works at a subconscious level to keep you smoking, even at the risk of sickness and death.Because 80% of smoking is a psychological habit, physical treatments like the patch, nicotine gums, laser treatments and even acupuncture have a very low success rate. Hypnosis works directly on breaking the subconscious (emotional) smoking habit while decreasing (and often eliminating) physical withdrawal symptoms! That's why hypnosis is such an effective and popular method for becoming a healthy, relaxed non-smoker!FACTS: The U.S. Surgeon General states that every year more Americans die from tobacco than AIDS, alcohol, drugs, car accidents, murders, suicides and fires combined! Tobacco use is killing one person every 6 seconds around the world! By the time you finish reading this, another smoker will have just passed away from smoking! Tobacco related diseases account for more deaths in the USA and Canada than any other cause! Taxpayers lose millions to smoking related health costs!MYTHS:Smoking is relaxing - Smoking actually increases high blood pressure and stress. It will be too difficult to quit - Hypnosis makes the experience relaxing and empowering. I'll gain weight - You'll learn to replace smoking with self-hypnosis and relaxation, not food.

Kevin entertained and WOWED the audience with his charm and charisma and received rave reviews! The shows were held at the Centre of Excellence, Macoya, where a specially designed stage was created to allow all patrons to have an unobstructed view of the onstage antics and hillarious hypnotized audience volunteers.<br /><br />The following is the rave review published about Kevins performances in the Daily Guardian Paper, it seems that they love Kevin Stone, "Hypnotist to the Stars" as much as we do here in the states! Enjoy!!!!<br /><br /><br />Sunday 9th March, 2008<br /><br />Stone trance makes robots dance<br /><br />A female volunteer sleeps soundly on the ground, while other volunteers are “knocked out” on their chairs on stage after being hypnotised by renowned Hollywood hypnotist Kevin Stone, during his show at the Centre of Excellence in Macoya, Tunapuna, on Friday. Photo: Jennifer Watson<br />BY LEAH SORIAS<br /><br /><br />Hollywood hypnotist Kevin Stone literally had people in a trance during his debut show at the Centre of Excellence on Friday.<br />Those who were not rolling around on the ground, were laughing uncontrollably, sobbing like babies and even vibrating like washing machines while hypnotised.<br />At the start of the show, brought to T&amp;T by the Trinidad Broadcasting Company network, Stone called 20 eager volunteers to occupying seats on stage.<br />Ordering them to close their eyes, while placing their hands flat on their laps and feet flat on the ground, he spoke soft words as he urged them to relax.<br />“And as you relax, imagine that attached to one of your hands is a bouquet of 500 balloons, and as I attach the balloons to your hands, picture your hand lifting slowly off your lap,” he said to them.<br />As if they were robots, the volunteers, whose bodies seemed limp from the hypnotism, slowly lifted one arm in the air.<br />Stone snapped his fingers to get them out of the daze and ordered them to sleep. All hands dropped and the volunteers slumped on their chairs as they fell into a deep sleep.<br />A few even slid off their chairs and on to the ground.<br />In another instance, Stone had one volunteer say her ABCs like a kindergarten student, in a sing-song-voice.<br />He then made her close her eyes and told her at the snap of his finger she would forget the alphabet.<br />“The only thing you would remember is e-i-e-i-o,” he said.<br />The teen did, indeed, forget her alphabet and at the snap of Stone’s fingers she rattled off: “Old MacDonald had a farm, e-i-e-i-o.”<br />Even as the crowd rolled around in laughter, the teen argued with Stone she was saying the alphabet correctly.<br />At the end of the show, when told about their bizarre behaviour on stage, some of the volunteers were in disbelief.<br />n Pat Anderson, the most senior volunteer, said she was shocked when her niece told her about her antics on stage.<br />“She pushed me to go up on stage because I am a shy person. I don’t dance in front of people like that, laugh out like that, or even behave crazy like that, and when they told all those things I did on stage I could not believe it. I am embarrassed...”<br />n Solange Heywood, 26, described the hypnosis as a relaxing, out-of-body experience.<br />“Every time he spoke I got the urge to do exactly what he said. I can’t explain it, but I was just drawn to doing exactly what he said. And even when I tried to force myself to stop, I just could not, anyway,” she said.<br />Friday’s show was Stone’s first performance in Trinidad and his first tour in seven years.<br />“This is my first-ever show since the September 11 bombing in the US, and as soon as I got off the plane here I got a tremendous energy of happy, energetic people.<br />“I just love this country,” he said.<br />Born in California, Stone is described as a master hypnotist and is a board-certified hypnotist.<br />He owns and operates his world-famous hypnotherapy clinic in Los Angeles and has helped improve the lifestyles of stars like Bruce Willis, Britney Spears, Michael Jackson, Jennifer Lopez and Tyra Banks.<br />©2005-2006 Trinidad Publishing Company Limited<br />Designed by: <a href="mailto:wolfie@ttol.co.tt?subject=from_guardian_front_page">Randall Rajkumar-Maharaj</a> · Updated daily by: <a href="mailto:sf1@ttol.co.tt?subject=from_guardian_frontpage">Sheahan Farrell</a>Tracyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09649931265316225915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26631742.post-58865567966916919072008-02-29T22:24:00.000-08:002008-03-02T20:57:52.769-08:00Hollywood Hypnotist Kevin Stone Thanks Toyota!In honor of National Arbor Day the Toyota Corporation planted a tree in honor of Hollywood Hypnotist Kevin Stone, and named the tree The Hollywood Hypnotist!

I was even more delighted to find an interview from Ben Affleck on how he used hypnosis to quit a 20 yr habit!<br />He is quoted as saying that he was ready to give up the habit when he was about to become a father, and he went to see the hypnotist that his friend Matt Damon had gone to. Hypnosis worked for him, and it can work for you too! I recommend that you go to the Oprah site and search "Ben Affleck" and you will see what I am talking about, and then contact Hollywood Hypnotist Kevin Stone to easily and effortlessly give up your nicotine habit just like Matt and Ben did! I recommend that you contact Kevin to purchase his Total Power Program CD for stopping smoking today, so that you can have the same success that many of today's top celebrities have had. If you are concerned about the cost, I ask you to think about how much money you throw away on buying your smokes, and you will realize that you are saving money in the long run, as well as your health. I was also reading Woman's Day magazine and there was an article about a study done on hyposis for smoking cessation and how successful hypnosis is for that, all you have to do is want to quit and commit to the process and let hypnosis work for you as well. Visit Kevin Stone's website at <a href="http://www.hypnotist.com/">http://www.hypnotist.com/</a> and contact him today, just take the first step of contacting him and let Kevin guide you the rest of the way...I did, and it works!!!Tracyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09649931265316225915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26631742.post-53084582642481915072008-01-05T16:32:00.000-08:002008-01-05T16:56:00.979-08:00Happy New YearHollywood Hypnotist Kevin Stone wishes all his fans a Happy and Healthy New Year!<br />Kevin wants to help you keep the New Year resolutions you made this year, whatever they may be, and with his Total Power Program CD's as your tool you are bound to be successful!

They put me in a tank with 2,000 fish and I had to lip-sync and dance underwater with sharks and stingray.<br />"It was the most traumatic thing I have ever experienced in my entire life but I'm proud I got through it.<br />"When they offered me the part, they said, 'We just wannna make sure that you don't have a phobia of water or fish... because you're not gonna have a stunt double,' and I was like, 'Oh c**p,' because that's one of my phobias.<br />"I did not mention this and then I went to a hypnotist and the hypnotist got me through it... He just talked me through it."<br /><br />Latina siren EVA MENDES is so determined to stick to her annual New Year's resolution she has enlisted the help of hypnosis to conquer her nailbiting problem. The <a class="iAs" style="FONT-WEIGHT: normal; FONT-SIZE: 100%; PADDING-BOTTOM: 1px; COLOR: darkgreen; BORDER-BOTTOM: darkgreen 0.07em solid; BACKGROUND-COLOR: transparent; TEXT-DECORATION: underline" href="file:///C:/Documents%20and%20Settings/Tracys/Local%20Settings/Temp/EML1DB.HTM#" target="_blank" itxtdid="3647083">actress</a> reveals she has set herself the task of letting her fingernails grow for years, but her resolution never seems to last more than a few days. The HITCH star says, "For the 10th year in a row I will make a resolution to not bite my nails. And for the 10th year in a row I'm sure I will break that by 5 January. "I think that's the longest I went without biting my nails. I'm meeting with a hypnotherapist in an effort to stop. "I'm really happy about this because that's one of my things that I do that I no longer want to do."Tracyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09649931265316225915noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26631742.post-4170662742980411802007-05-21T09:30:00.000-07:002007-05-21T10:10:32.236-07:00Hypnosis for ChangeAs many of you know, not only is Hollywood Hypnotist Kevin Stone a dynamic entertainer who performs worldwide for all the major celebrities like Donald Trump, and for The President Of The United States when he performed at The White House, but he runs a very busy Hypnotherapy Clinic in Hollywood California (he is a Board Certified Hypnotherapist in the state of California) where he helps many top celebrities as well as many regular people like you and me make positive changes in their lives using Hypnosis to facilitate rapid and lasting success! Just look at some of celebrities using Hypnosis and Hypnotherapy to achieve their goals....<br /><br />Fergie's Shrink Rap<br />While some stars are reluctant to admit that they're in therapy, Fergie of the Black Eyed Peas, who is dating Las Vegas hottie Josh Duhamel, tells the NY Daily News that she uses hypnotherapy to "balance the chaos" of her life. "It isn't as fruity and weird as most people think," she said. "I mean, I'm not in some doctor's office and they hypnotize me and all of a sudden I'm dancing on a table singing Tiffany. It's more like normal therapy for an hour, and then for the last 10 minutes we do some hypnosis. It's great."<br /><br />And<br /><br />Ben Affleck To Quit Smoking for His Baby's Safety<br /><a href="http://www.starpulse.com/Actors/Affleck,_Ben/"></a><a href="http://www.starpulse.com/Actors/Affleck,_Ben/">Ben Affleck</a> is to see a hypnotist to try and quit smoking for the health of his unborn baby.

A source told America's Star magazine, "He quit for a while when Jennifer first got pregnant, but he didn't last very long. He's trying again and has agreed to start hypnosis, as his pal Matt kicked his smoking habit that way."<br /><br />And Matt Damon proudly announced on national TV that he saw "The Hypnotist" (and remember that this aired on a segment on Access Hollywood featuring Celebrity Hypnotist Kevin Stone) and he became a Non-Smoker! <br /><br />Don't be intimitataed in thinking that Kevin only treats celebrities, because he especially likes helping regular hard working people like you and I overcome the obstacles and challenges we face in everyday life....so contact Kevin today and start on your way to Success!
