Using Facial coding with ad testing is how we measure emotional engagement people experience when watching ads.

In this episode of Future Proof, Jane Ostler, EVP Global Thought Leadership at Kantar talks to Graham Page, Managing Director of Media Analytics at Affectiva, and Deepak Varma, Head of Neuroscience Insights at Kantar North America, explain how our expressions can reveal our emotional response to advertising and why these emotions are such a powerful predictor of successful ads. 

They discuss potential applications of the technology as part of a pre-testing programme, including how it can optimize the ad or create cut downs that will make ads more likely to go viral, more likely to be remembered and more likely to build short and long-term associations for a brand.

Today’s successful businesses need teams that are constantly coming up with ideas, good and bad, because great ideas fuel growth. In this episode of Future Proof, Jane Ostler EVP, Global Thought Leadership at Kantar, talks to Albert Read, Managing Director at Condé Nast Britain, and author of newly-published book The Imagination Muscle, about how we need to manage our lives and our environments in order to stay fresh and keep coming up with ideas.

Read argues that companies should expect employees to have ideas - even encourage the bad ones - and ditch the need for managers to be always right. He also thinks that the power of the imagination will be even more important in the age of AI. While pessimists argue that AI creates a world where adequate is good enough, he says the optimists will succeed by taking advantage of the opportunity of AI and use it to ask the right questions.
