Ad and Campaign Evaluation
The difference between a campaign that works and one that does not is almost always visible in pre-testing.
Ad and campaign evaluation with incling gives you genuine consumer reactions to creative work, before and after launch. Whether you are testing early concepts or measuring real-world impact, incling's community platform delivers the depth and speed needed to optimise performance at every stage.

The approach
How it works in practice
Pre-launch creative testing, live focus groups, iterative refinement, and competitive creative analysis.
01
Pre-launch creative testing
Share ad concepts, animatics, or finished assets with your target audience and capture immediate, unfiltered reactions, including emotional response, comprehension, and brand linkage.
02
Live focus groups with real-time translation
Run online focus groups with native moderation and simultaneous translation, allowing your global team to observe and analyse reactions in real time, regardless of market.
03
Iterative concept refinement
Test early stimulus, gather feedback, refine, and validate, moving from broad exploration to specific concept testing in a phased approach that improves with each round.
04
Competitive creative analysis
Evaluate your campaign in the context of competitive activity, understanding how it performs relative to the category and what makes it stand out or blend in.
Why incling
Why incling beats traditional research
Forced exposure produces artificial scores and misses the why. A natural community context produces reactions you can act on.

Evaluating a new TVC concept with Betsson Group
