Audience Lens Standard
Upload a creative — an image, a video, an audio spot, a text or a web page — or describe the message you need to get across. A panel of simulated audiences looks at it, listens to it, and shows you which audiences it works for, which it doesn’t, on which dimensions and why. Most predictive tools draw one curve for an “average” viewer; Audience Lens starts from the opposite idea: reactions change with the audience, and the useful information is where audiences diverge.
Built on established research
Every audience in the panel combines three axes from the psychology of persuasion: the value quadrants described by Schwartz (what moves a person), the Elaboration Likelihood Model of Petty and Cacioppo (how they process a message) and the Regulatory Focus Theory of Higgins (what kind of message persuades them): 4 × 2 × 2, sixteen profiles. The seven dimensions draw on Russell, von Restorff, Reber, Schwarz and Winkielman, Hovland, Cialdini, Kahneman and Tversky; the idea that creatives perform differently across psychological profiles is supported by Matz, Kosinski, Nave and Stillwell.
The three models are general by design and have been studied across many countries and sectors, so the same panel works for a car, a museum, a public campaign or a financial product: your sector comes in through the Context field.
Audience Lens is inspired by these works. Their authors have not validated, reviewed or endorsed Audience Lens.
Private Spaces can run Audience Lens on their own custom audiences, built on their real customers.
