We provide consistent report card measures and diagnostics that can be compared across media in order to guide important decisions about where media investment should be focused. We show ads either in a neutral context or we similate the live environment, depending on the research objectives. For example, we show social ads within a newsfeed to assses their ability to gain viewers’ attention quickly enough.

Video of all shapes and sizes

We test video destined for any media channel at any stage of development from filmed storyboards, ripomatics and animatics through to rough and finished films. In our experience, the final advertising is usually stronger the earlier in the process the testing happens.

Campaign Testing

Our campaign tests assess how all the elements work together to shape brand perceptions, identify which are contributing most and highlight opportunities to strengthen the ads and optimize the mix.

The survey involves showing respondents up to 5 campaign executions from any channels and covers:
  • Overall strength of the campaign’s creative idea
  • Holistic impact on brand perceptions
  • Campaign fit with the brand
