EyeQuant's Captivate: The Science of Standout Ads

EyeQuant's Captivate is a groundbreaking tool designed to help businesses optimise their ad designs and maximise their return on investment. By predicting the global attention an ad will receive, Captivate provides valuable insights for data-driven decision-making.


What is Captivate?

Captivate is a unique metric that quantifies the visibility of an ad. Unlike subjective ratings that rely on opinions or feelings, Captivate offers an objective and scientifically validated assessment. It leverages a sophisticated image analysis model, trained on vast and scientifically curated datasets, to predict how eye-catching an ad will be.


The Science behind Captivate

The development of Captivate involved a rigorous experimental process. Over 400 participants were presented with pairs of ads and asked to choose the one that was more eye-catching. This data, combined with advanced machine learning techniques, allowed us to create a robust predictive model.

The Captivate model utilises deep neural networks, a type of artificial intelligence inspired by the human brain. These networks excel at recognising patterns and can extract subtle features from images that might not be apparent to the human eye. By analysing these features, the model can accurately predict how visually appealing an ad will be to a broad audience.


Benefits for Businesses

Captivate offers many benefits for businesses seeking to enhance their advertising strategies. For example:

  • Optimise Ad Design: By identifying the elements that contribute to high visibility, businesses can refine their ad designs to capture attention more effectively.

  • Maximise ROI: Captivate helps businesses invest in ads that are more likely to be seen and remembered, maximising their return on investment.

  • Streamline Testing: Instead of relying on costly and time-consuming surveys, businesses can use Captivate to quickly assess the visibility of their ads.

  • Gain a Competitive Edge: By utilising Captivate, businesses can gain a deeper understanding of their target audience's visual preferences, giving them a competitive edge in the marketplace.
