An advertising creative test assesses your name, visual or marketing campaign before launch by asking the target audience to evaluate different versions (can include pictures/videos) and analysing which associations, emotions and actions are created. From the insights provided you will have solid foundations to optimise ad spending, improve campaign ROI, and maximise the interest in the new or adjusted creative concepts.

Key insights

By identifying consumers preferences for your product’s visual, name and campaign you will be able to:

  • Identify the optimal creative version based on key metrics (e.g., believability, brand fit, interest, brand recall and memorability)

  • Gain brand coherence and concept likability insights

  • Understand consumers perception, creative concepts’ strengths, weaknesses, performance and perceived call to action

  • Stand out from the competition by avoiding potential problems such as poor headlines and message misinterpretations ‍

Technical set-up

In an advertising creative test, visuals, names and marketing campaigns are evaluated on a set of attributes.

The results are analysed by comparing the different versions across selected features and through overall ranking (direct ranking with k<10, and Best-worst scoring with k>10 concepts).

Data analysis and reporting

The results from the advertising creative test are analyzed to:

  • Identify significant differences across features

  • Evaluate the strengths and weaknesses of each visual/name/video and define the relative evaluation scores

Optionally, a Driver analysis can be added. The resulting Penalty-Reward is used to evaluate the overall importance and impact of the features on concept preference.
