Sound familiar?

Creative decisions are too often driven by internal opinions, gut feeling, and flawed research methods. You need objective behavioral evidence before you commit to a creative or media buy.

Everyone in the boardroom loved it. It flopped.

Creative choices are frequently driven by the Highest Paid Person's Opinion (HiPPO) or internal gut feeling, rather than objective data on what actually captures your audience's attention.

12 people said yes. The market didn't.

Small panels and focus groups in artificial, sterile lab settings don't reflect real-world attention in cluttered, noisy digital or physical environments. Claimed attention is not real behavior.

You found the winner. After burning half the budget.

A/B testing in production is slow and expensive. By the time you know which variant works, you've already spent a significant portion of your media budget on the losing creative.

Brandpulse Attention Testing was built to solve this.

What happens when you skip testing? You produce the wrong creative. You print 500,000 units of packaging nobody notices. You run a 3-month billboard campaign with the weaker design. You scale the ad that doesn't stop the scroll. The cost of not testing isn't $1,250. It's the entire media budget you spend on a creative that never had a chance.

The Attention Blueprint

We don't just tell you which wins. We tell you why.

People don't read. They scan. And a scan either registers, or it doesn't. Our methodology is built on 17 visual drivers from cognitive psychology that determine what wins that first half-second of attention. Every principle is substantiated with peer-reviewed research.

University of Utrecht
Cognitive Psychology Research
17 drivers · 47+ peer-reviewed sources

Luminance Contrast

High contrast catches the eye faster and guides visual focus.

Face Recognition

Faces always win over abstract shapes. We are wired to look at them.

Color Saturation

Saturated, warm colors attract more immediate attention.

Size & Position

Larger and more centrally positioned elements win on the retina.

Orientation & Edges

Edge information is the most reliable predictor of human gaze.

Motion & Flicker

Dynamic temporal changes are among the most powerful attention drivers.

…and 11 more drivers that help us explain the why

Measurement is useful. Understanding is valuable.

Clear Metrics

The Stopping Power Rating

One number that tells you which creative to produce. No debate, no gut feeling, no committee. We distill complex behavioral data into a single, easy-to-understand metric that measures exactly how effectively a variant captures attention.

  • Clear winner identification across 2–6 variants
  • Statistically validated scoring (≥80% confidence)
  • Segment breakdowns to see which variant wins with specific demographics

Unaware Measurement

Real Environment, Real Attention

People behave differently when they know they're being watched. In the real world, they scan. They don't study. We measure passive, unaware attention in the user's natural viewing environment, capturing whether your creative actually interrupts that scan. No sterile labs, no webcams, no forced exposure.

  • Measurement occurs in natural digital environments
  • Participants are unaware they are part of a test
  • Captures genuine behavioral interaction, not claimed recall
Attention Heatmaps

See Exactly Where Attention Lands

Stop guessing what people look at. Our behavioral observation generates precise heatmaps showing exactly which elements of your creative capture and hold attention.

Test Any Creative, Any Format

Whether it's a static image, a video, HTML5, or plain text. If you can upload it, we can test it against your exact target audience.

Who is it for

Before your design can tell a story, it has to win a fight.

You create the designs. We provide the certainty. Our Attention Testing gives marketing and design teams the behavioral data to prove whether a concept will win the 2-second battle for attention. Because your message, emotion, or call-to-action only works after your design has actually been seen.

Marketing Directors & CMOs

Tired of defending creative choices with nothing but 'the agency recommended it'? Give your board objective behavioral proof.

Creative Directors

Your best work keeps getting killed by committee. Give it objective evidence to survive the boardroom and make it to production.

Media Agencies

Your clients ask why the campaign didn't perform. Now you can answer that question before the campaign even launches.

Packaging & OOH Specialists

You designed for the real world. But did you test it there? See how your design performs in a simulated cluttered environment before printing.

Global Publisher Network

Leverage our global publisher network, but with specific, data-driven targeting.

Reach any audience, anywhere. Target by country, region, state, or even city level through our extensive publisher network. Combine broad reach with precision targeting to test with the exact audience that matters to your brand.

Frequently Asked Questions

What formats can I test?

You can test almost any creative format: static images (billboards, packaging, thumbnails, print ads), video content, HTML5 banners, and even plain text messages.

What types of creatives can I test?

Brandpulse Attention Testing works with virtually any creative format. Common use cases include OOH ad testing, packaging design testing, ad testing, message testing, and thumbnail testing. If you can upload it, we can test it.

How is this different from eye-tracking?

Traditional eye-tracking relies on webcams in controlled lab settings with small panels of people who know they are being tested. Attention Testing measures actual behavioral interaction at scale (30,000+ people) in natural online environments, passively and unaware. On top of that we also deliver an AI-powered eye tracking heatmap trained on lots of real eye-tracking data.

What is a Stopping Power Rating?

The Stopping Power Rating is a composite score that measures how effectively a creative variant captures and holds behavioral attention compared to the other variants in your test. It gives you a clear, single metric to determine the winner.

How precise is the targeting?

Very precise. You can target by location (down to city or regional level), demographics like age and gender, and over 12 affinity categories. This ensures your creative is tested against your actual target audience.

How precise is the targeting?

Very precise. You can target by location (down to regional/postcode level), language, gender, age groups, and over 12 affinity categories (e.g., Finance, Travel, Food & Dining). This ensures we measure your actual target audience, not a generic panel.

How many variants can I test at once?

You can upload and test between 2 and 6 creative variants in a single test cycle.

How long does it take to get results?

From the moment you upload your variants and set your targeting, you will receive your full executive report and heatmaps within 5 to 7 days.

Do I need my IT team involved?

No. Zero technical integration is required. You simply upload your files via our self-service portal, and we handle the entire measurement infrastructure.
