Automation Enables Rapid Behavioral Insights for Real Business Impact
- Claims
Sentient Decision Science uncovered in a recent claims study for Diageo’s Johnnie Walker that when you implicitly measure the behavioral impact of claims you can be more predictive of “apparent” marketplace irrationalities. Diageo understands the importance of implicitly testing messages to avoid potential costly marketing mistakes. Using our product Affirm we were able to measure the emotional changes in preference with different claims to pick winning messages that improve branding. Here are a few key takeaways from the study.

Avoid Functional Claims
Products claims that are too functional can cannibalize the brand. When you make a claim more at the level of a brand it can have a halo effect.
Uncovering this knowledge was key to brand messaging success. Diageo was able to avoid messaging mistakes to develop meaningful content that helped to benefit the brand and educate the researchers on how to navigate the development of future claims.
