A major financial services company developed a powerful campaign based on unexpected discoveries made by Ace Metrix’s competitive intelligence.

During their creative strategy development phase, a major financial services company realized that they needed more in-depth understanding of the competitive landscape in advertising. Through Ace Metrix, they were able to review:

  • All ads from the competition during the previous 90 days.
  • Ads from an adjacent industry with related themes and topics.
  • Ads from other industries that appealed particularly well to their target audience.

They made several surprising discoveries including:

  1. There was a visual commonality in all ads in their industry to which some consumers were responding negatively.
  2. No brand in the industry was communicating important but little-known consumer benefits.
  3. Their target audience enjoyed receiving information on their smart phones.
  4. Their target audience responded to “moderately emotional” commercials much better than either “utilitarian” or “highly emotional” ones.

These insights provided their creative team with both short-term solutions on how to tweak their existing ads, and ideas for their next campaign. They were also able to make data-driven decisions on their media placements and rotation.
