What our Custom Benchmarks entail

Brainsight offers custom benchmarks for owned advertising ecosystems. Instead of general industry metrics, attention and/or clarity are built and benchmarked for your unique advertising environment: your own displays, ad formats, channels, or creative categories.

Brainsight is one of the few predictive attention platforms that offer benchmarked metrics, with predictive attention and visual & cognitive processing against industries and peer groups. We are the only one offering custom benchmarks.

Built on the same principles, custom benchmarks are designed and calibrated to your unique situation; metrics for i.e. your retail media environment, website- and app ecosystem, and other assets or creative categories. Read below what a custom benchmark project entails.

Metrics: Attention & Clarity

CUSTOM BENCHMARK example: in-store magazine covers

Customer case

An example of one of our custom benchmark projects is Roularta, market leader in the Benelux (Belgium, Netherlands, Luxembourg), for magazines. The own several leading titles, and their products are found in all retail- and bookstores. To pre-test magazine covers on (shelf) attention and clarity, a custom benchmark and pre-testing capability was designed and built, so that their chief editors and their teams, each for their own category and relevant channels.

What Custom Benchmark projects looks like


Custom benchmarks based on a partnership approach: our scalable benchmark methodology and infrastructure lets us build fast, but it's a custom project done together (not off-the-shelf). We'll do the heavy lifting; you share your own assets where relevant (or decide us to source it). Scope defines cost, not a price list. For longer-term commitments, Brainsight co-invests.
Mapping advertising ecosystems, like display, DOOH, social or retail media

1. Scoping

Together we define your contextual environment to map, including complexity, positions, formats, or categories that belong in the ecosystem. Next we'll determine the benchmarks related to Attention and/or Clarity and desired output and integreation (embed in our platform, API, or both).

2. Indexing & Benchmarking

We collect, map and index your ad-environment and creative sets and apply them to our readily-available benchmarking-methodology and engine, also taking (sub)categories and filtering options into account for future pre-testing capabilities.

3. Delivery

Your benchmark and audits integrated in your own Brainsight account, or in your own platform(s) with our API, ready to pretest new creatives or feeds. We'll provide a complete whitepaper for your stakeholders, customers, and/or external publication purposes.

One Project, ongoing value

"A benchmark isn't a one-time snapshot, it's a live tool you keep pretesting against."

Metrics, platform embedding, API, whitepaper...

A custom benchmark has two deliverables: I. a completely mapped environment, benchmark and research (white) paper, and II. your own predictive attention pre-testing capabilities for you and your customers. This means that bifurcations in categories, locations, channels, etc. is designed for you.

Filter by format or category

Filter specifically on your e-commerced platform, retail- or outdoor media use-cases. A DOOH display in front of your stores is not the same as in-store screens. Or predict visual performance for your advertising customers for your UK, or North American on news channels or travel websites; it's all possible. with our custom benchmarks.

Deep Analyses

Once your category is benchmarked, pretesting includes Deep Audits; our structured, reproducible analysis and score. We embed your specific use-case and best practices or analysis framework in the deep audit for your own Brainsight users.
