Sentient’s Methods Provide Greater Sales Prediction
Case Study Overview:
Sentient was engaged by Meta to assess the effectiveness of common research methods in predicting outcomes within the industry. Sentient’s analysis aimed to unveil the inherent predictive capacities of these methodologies to enhance decision-making processes.
500+ Ads
We conducted Implicit testing on over 500 ads to validate the accuracy of methods for future large-scale testing.
40K Participants
We randomly assigned participants into 1 of 2 groups with identical designs, measured at the same time.
Research Results:
The year long study with Meta revealed that not only are implicit methods predictively valid, the techniques Sentient uses are the most reliable behavioral science measures within advanced marketing research techniques. Sentient’s method to forcast sales showed 3X the predictive power compared to historical survey research tools.
“We are incredibly grateful to have Sentient working with us, ensuring that we are designing the most impactful tests for our research questions. We are really grateful to Sentient for their reliability tests, making us confident in a much larger study.”
