Creative Testing

Validate your creative ideas before launching

Get authentic consumer feedback on your creative work before committing to expensive production. Video responses reveal the reactions, emotions, and suggestions that surveys miss.

Numbers only tell half the story.

Quant-only creative testing can’t explain why something works or doesn’t. Video feedback provides the depth you need to iterate with confidence.

Hear the real reaction.

Video captures the emotional responses, facial expressions, and unfiltered opinions that tell you exactly how your creative lands.

Fix it before it’s costly.

Make improvements before the expensive production process starts — saving time, budget, and ensuring your creative resonates at launch.

How to Leverage It

Objective Setting

Setting objectives will dictate the questions you ask consumers. Think through what’s driving the need for this research, identify 2–3 key questions you need answers to, and determine how you’re measuring success.

Create Stimulus

  • What did they like most/least?
  • What could further improve the creative, and why?
