Move from creative testing to creative intelligence

Every idea begins with a spark, a feeling; something instinctive before it becomes something structured. Turning that instinct into creative output that performs well and strengthens your brand requires more than traditional testing.  
 
Modern marketing requires something sharper and more iterative – what we call creative intelligencea continuous, system-level approach to testing and optimization.

In-Context exposure 

BREAKTHROUGH  


Attention – Are Viewers willing to watch the ad? 
Memory – Will the message stick in the memory of viewers?

In-Context exposure 

Your creative, in its natural habitat – TV, YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and beyond. We measure real-world, natural engagement with your content before full exposure.


Forced exposure 

RESPONSE


Reaction – How well is the ad driving key perceptions? 
Action – Is the ad stimulating action/engagement?

Forced exposure 

After viewing, we measure a variety of metrics such as likeability, credibility, relevance and differentiation – benchmarked against market and format specific norms – with open-ended feedback to understand why it works, all linked to brand interest and purchase intent.


Strong ads mean business.
We have the proof.
