OTX Is Telling Richer, Deeper Stories by Integrating Qualitative and Quantitative Techniques into Ad Pretesting Products.
AdCEP, which Already Measures the Emotive Power of Advertising Performance, Now Enhanced by Socrates for Interactive Open-End Probing.
AdCEP(TM), the first pre-testing product to measure how emotion, message and context impact the performance of advertising, now allows Socrates(R) language recognition software to conduct interactive one-on-one interviews with all consumers who take its quantitative online surveys. Socrates(R) ability to generate natural consumer responses – by seamlessly re-employing consumers’ own language to probe for further clarification, reasoning and personal relevance – reveals deeper levels of insight into how and why consumers are responding to and engaging with advertising.
“We’re a pioneer in recognizing and advocating for the role emotion plays in advertising effectiveness, and we’ve created valid research solutions to measure it,” said
The Socrates(R) software is designed to naturally explore any comment to obtain an understanding of what truly matters and what really impacts consumer decision-making. Consumers interact with Socrates(R) in an online survey environment using an interface similar to an Instant Messaging box capable of carrying on a full conversational interview. “The AdCEP application represents the core of what Socrates was designed to do,” said
“Our AdCEP methodology currently lets us understand emotional response in two ways – quantitatively using our CEP(R)Test measures, and with biometrics by measuring people’s moment-to-moment emotional responses,” said
