Leveraging AI to bring the view of the customer into the insights and design processes

Consumers are immersed in visuals, spending five hours viewing videos and images on social media platforms while also being exposed to up to 10,000 ads each day. These interactions create visual biases that impact the way consumers react and respond to products and their associated marketing assets. Attracting and converting today’s consumers requires brands to integrate the audience’s visual preferences into the insights and design process.

New advances in artificial intelligence have given insights and design teams an unprecedented ability to understand the visual preferences of consumers in near real time. AI-based insights and analytics can uncover effective design elements, color preferences and the best placement of the subject being photographed, while at the same time measuring and scoring visual designs to predict how well they will motivate a consumer to act.
