Decipher critical cultural differences with facial tracking and machine learning
Culture informs our intuitions and judgments from birth. It’s no surprise that advertising can trigger very different emotions depending on consumers’ racial, ethnic and cultural backgrounds.
Facial tracking analysis of Bertolli’s 2016 “Dance” ad featuring a biracial couple reveals a remarkable (if momentary) divergence in emotional response between white and multicultural consumers (n= ~200 consumers)
With highly competitive pricing, we offer a compelling alternative. Overcoming the limitations of traditional norms and “genpop” assumptions, our proprietary methodology determines how your ads drive divergent emotions within and across segments, moment-by-moment. We also reveal how consumers change their overall perceptions of your brand as they integrate unconscious emotions into conscious attitudes.
Innovative metrics identify executions and strategies that win
In a time of extraordinary political and cultural turbulence, we hear marketers again and again express concern that their advertising may provoke backlash, or in opting for once-safe appeals to conventional “gen-pop” themes, they may underwhelm their target audiences.
Our approach safeguards your advertising spend in three steps.
- We gather data before and after consumers view an ad to assess raw change in brand perception
- We incorporate data on how consumers assess an ad to gain insight as to what is driving this change
- We take a more nuanced look at where these changes are concentrated by demographic segment using three innovative metrics: Groundswell, Backlash and Net Groundswell.
Groundswell
If an ad converts a viewer from a negative or neutral brand sentiment to a positive brand sentiment, then the ad has groundswell
Backlash
If an ad converts a viewer from a positive brand sentiment to a negative or neutral brand sentiment, then the ad has backlash
Net Groundswell
The difference between groundswell and backlash adjusted for initial positive or negative experience of brand favorability
To provide further insight, we work with you to develop a detailed ad taxonomy that helps pinpoint what causes emotional variation and divergences across segments. For example, our taxonomy can focus on cultural cues, language, music and branding choices.
We create intuitive, comprehensive presentations to help you understand the data, delivering a clear and compelling story about how consumers experience your ads in real time.
