It\u2019s this revealing insight into brain activity that serves as the pillar upon which researchers have built the field of neuromarketing.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Broadly speaking, neuromarketing studies brain responses to marketing stimuli, capturing unfiltered consumer responses in a way that surveys, studies, and traditional marketing data cannot.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Reserved for special occasions<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span>Though around for decades, neuromarketing has remained a rather exclusive endeavour, principally due to its hefty price tag. While most marketers would fawn over data that details whether their audience likes the ad, how they absorb it, what works, and where they direct or lose attention, the reality is that paying \u20ac15-20k per hour for an MRI machine is out of budget for most. Unless, for instance, you\u2019ve got a Superbowl commercial on the horizon.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>Other approaches such as electroencephalogram (EEG) testing and motion capture for eye-tracking are also so time- and resource-intensive that few marketers would dare integrate them as a core component of their creative processes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><figure class=\"post-image post-mediaBleed alignnone\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1403221 js-lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2024\/01\/Screenshot-2024-01-22-at-16.03.07.jpg\" alt=\"Image of a research participant in an EEG study with the EEG cap on\" width=\"1200\" height=\"796\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2024\/01\/Screenshot-2024-01-22-at-16.03.07.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2024\/01\/Screenshot-2024-01-22-at-16.03.07-280x186.jpg 280w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2024\/01\/Screenshot-2024-01-22-at-16.03.07-204x135.jpg 204w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2024\/01\/Screenshot-2024-01-22-at-16.03.07-407x270.jpg 407w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2024\/01\/Screenshot-2024-01-22-at-16.03.07-796x528.jpg 796w\"><noscript><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-1403221\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2024\/01\/Screenshot-2024-01-22-at-16.03.07.jpg\" alt=\"Image of a research participant in an EEG study with the EEG cap on\" width=\"1200\" height=\"796\" srcset=\"https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2024\/01\/Screenshot-2024-01-22-at-16.03.07.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2024\/01\/Screenshot-2024-01-22-at-16.03.07-280x186.jpg 280w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2024\/01\/Screenshot-2024-01-22-at-16.03.07-204x135.jpg 204w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2024\/01\/Screenshot-2024-01-22-at-16.03.07-407x270.jpg 407w, https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2024\/01\/Screenshot-2024-01-22-at-16.03.07-796x528.jpg 796w\"><\/noscript><\/figure>\n<\/p>\n<p><span>Accordingly, the overwhelming majority of marketers are stuck calling shots based on expert opinion, which, as the aforementioned study suggests, can be congruent but is often overshadowed by ego. Even when everyone aligns, it tells you very little about how well the campaign will actually perform.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cIt was frustrating to me when I was in marketing,\u201d says Olthof. \u201cWe would test campaigns, run them by people, have high expectations, and then they wouldn\u2019t do well at all. Or vice versa.\u201d&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Seeking a better way to do marketing<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span>This frustration alongside a chance encounter with Ale Smidts, the scientist who coined the term \u201cneuromarketing,\u201d diverted Olthof\u2019s attention, and eventually career in a new direction. Just over eight years ago, he founded neuromarketing consultancy firm Alpha.One. The aim was to help brands create more effective content by leveraging neuroscientific methods such as fMRI, EEG, and eye-tracking.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>With a growing library of neuroscientific data and partnerships with Erasmus University and MIT, the team eventually developed a predictive eye-tracking platform \u2014 expoze.io \u2014 which applies AI to predict visual attention in a similar way to eye tracking, without the need for participants \u2014 and does so with 95% accuracy.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>However, \u201cat the end of the day, expoze.io is more of a research solution than a marketing tool. It will give good, insightful answers to valid scientific research questions. But it won\u2019t tell you whether something\u2019s good or bad. It works for some brands, but may prove to be a bit much for others,\u201d shares Daan van der Wiele, Head of Marketing &amp; Product at Alpha.One.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>This pushed the team to go one step further and Junbi.ai was born.<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><strong>Neuroscience at the push of a button<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span>Junbi.ai is a platform for pre-testing and benchmarking YouTube ads. It combines expoze.io\u2019s AI-powered predictive eye-tracking with machine vision to deliver unique predictive insights into the expected performance of YouTube ads and how they stack up against others.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>By hyper-focusing on a particular platform, the Junbi.ai team was able to develop metrics and benchmarks to evaluate media and spare marketing teams the burden of scientific data analysis.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>\u201cLet\u2019s be real, marketers need a traffic light indicator that answers one simple question \u2014 does my ad suck?\u201d laughs Van der Wiele, and Junbi.ai strives to provide it.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span>It achieves this by analysing three key metrics: brand attention score (is your brand getting noticed?), cognitive ease score (how easy is an ad to process and remember?), and ad breakthrough score (how much attention does your ad receive when placed in a YouTube context?).&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<figure class=\"post-image post-mediaBleed aligncenter\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-1403222 js-lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn0.tnwcdn.com\/wp-content\/blogs.dir\/1\/files\/2024\/01\/Screenshot-2024-01-22-at-16.05.39.png\" alt=\"Screenshot of a Junbi.ai analysis of a Hellmann's ad - with scores visualised with 'traffic light' colours as well as a benchmark percentile score.
