Ad testing research
fix what doesn't
Behavio diagnoses your creative scene by scene, and tells you exactly how to optimize it.
Test any format, at any stage
From a rough storyboard to a finished TV spot, a radio
cut or an OOH poster — test any creative, in any format, at any stage of production.
Clear next steps, not just a score
Every test comes with the exact edits to make — trim the intro, bring the logo forward, cut the weak scene. Want to dig deeper? Chat with your results and ask our in-platform assistant anything.
Second-by-second brand, need, emotion and attention
See exactly where attention goes, what emotion fires, which need your brand lands, and whether people recall it — scored second by second, scene by scene, not as one flat number at the end.
Real behavior from 500+ real people
“Did you like it?” misses what drives action. Behavio
uses implicit and behavioral methods to read the
subconscious response on a nationally representative sample of 500+ real people.
One dashboard. No research jargon
Every result lands in a single, easy-to-read dashboard built for marketers, not researchers — scores, scene-by-scene curves and recommendations in one place, ready to share with the team.
Days, not weeks. Or in minutes with AI
A full behavioral read comes back in days, not weeks. Need direction now? AI gives you a predictive read in about 15 minutes.

Got questions? We have answers!
Explore frequently asked questions about market mapping to get a better sense of how Behavio uncovers consumer needs and category dynamics.
What makes Behavio's ad testing different?
We measure behavior — the implicit, subconscious responses that actually predict in-market performance — instead of relying only on whether people say they liked the ad. And every test comes with specific edits from a senior consultant, so you get a clear next step, not just a score.
How fast do I get results?
Most tests are back within a few days of upload. Fast enough to fix your creative and re-test before the campaign goes live.
How fast do I get results?
A full category map comes back in 2 weeks, not the months legacy segmentation studies take — fast enough to feed your next planning cycle.
What formats can I test?
Video, static and social creative, in any cut or aspect ratio. You can test finished films, rough cuts, animatics, key visuals and social-first edits.
What does a report tell me?
An overall ad score benchmarked against your category, scene-by-scene attention, emotional response and brand recall, and a prioritised list of edits — each with the predicted lift if you make it.
Can I compare several variants?
Yes. Test cuts, edits and concepts head-to-head and see exactly which one wins, and which scene is dragging the others down.
How does your sampling approach work?
Each test runs on a representative sample of around 500 viewers, balanced to your target audience, so the read reflects how real people in your market respond — not a self-selected panel.
