How does Explore work?

Explore’s standardized tests allow you to assess your marketing assets and understand real customer attention, emotion, cognition, and stated responses.

  1. Select assets and audience

  2. Review
    The Explore team goes through your selections to ensure your project will provide you with the best possible results. If the team has any recommendations for improving your project design, they will contact you directly to discuss the possible changes.
  3. Fieldwork
    Your assessed project is sent to the field, where your assets are tested by participants selected according to your recruitment criteria.
  4. Results
    You will receive the final results and raw data directly from the our team. Read more about the results you can get through an Explore test.

 

What can I measure with Explore?

Explore tests are developed to measure the effect of ads and brand assets on people’s implicit cognition (unconscious influences) and attitude.

Each Explore test is based on Fast Response Tests (FRT) — different types of reaction time (RT) test — which assesses brand associations. The studies also consist of self-report questionnaires to gain better insights into the different dimensions of consumers' cognition and behavior.
