  • Brand recall vs. competitor benchmark
  • Upweight / downweight recommendation per creative
The Problem

Platform metrics tell you what the algorithm liked. Not what humans experienced.

01

You're putting paid behind the wrong creative

The creative that "wins" on platform metrics is the wrong choice about 40% of the time. Nearly half your amplification budget might be building someone else's brand.

~40% misattribution rate across 472+ brands
02

Views and engagement don't measure brand impact

High views doesn't mean high recall. A creator with 2.1M views had 12% brand recall. Another with 410K views had 78%. The algorithm can't tell you that.

Most-viewed ≠ most-remembered
03

Every budget decision is a guess

Without behavioral data, you're choosing which creative gets more spend based on metrics that were designed for the platform — not for your brand.

Six-figure decisions on vanity data

You already sense something's off. The views look great. The engagement is fine. But the brand isn't growing the way it should. Here's why — and what to do about it.

What You Get

See. Feel. Remember. Act.

Your creative is live.

This is what your audience sees. Content worth thousands in production and millions in media spend.

But what actually happens when they see it?

ATTENTION

Were they watching?

Eye tracking reveals exactly where your audience looked — and what they missed entirely.

87% noticed the product. Only 12% saw your logo.

EMOTION

How did they react?

Second-by-second emotional response shows which moments resonate and which fall flat.

Peak engagement at 0:08. Attention drops at 0:18 — the brand mention feels forced.

MEMORY

Will they remember?

Implicit memory testing measures what sticks — not what people say, but what they do.

78% recognized the brand. Only 31% recalled the product unaided.

BRAND UPLIFT

Did it move the needle?

The final proof: did this creative change how people think and intend to act?

+24pt favorability. +12pt purchase intent. It works — but the logo needs repositioning.
