Jamin Brazil: Hey everybody, welcome to the Happy Market Research Podcast. We are live on the conference call floor, at Insights Associations, and I have a very special guest. Mars, Inc. is the name of the company. Vidyotham Reddi is his name, and he was a guest speaker here today.
Vidyotham Reddi: Yeah, I was, and thank you for having me. And, I didn't ask you how I say your name, Jamin, Jammin?
Jamin Brazil: Jamin, you nailed it.
Vidyotham Reddi: Jamin, all right.
Jamin Brazil: I wish it was Jammin, everybody's always disappointed when they meet me in person, because they always expect me to be like a six-foot Rastafarian. Jamin Brazil. But it just never pans out that way. Anyway. So tell us about your talk.
Vidyotham Reddi: So I came to the Insights Association to present my work at Mars, Inc., where we basically are leveraging an A/B testing ecosystem that we developed. So it's a digital A/B testing ecosystem that we built working with the Mars Wrigley China business and partners in China, like Tencent and Alibaba Group. And what we do is we evaluate copy content effectiveness. And we can do it in a way that it's on-demand, it's scalable, it's repeatable, and that covers 80% of our impressions.
Jamin Brazil: Wow, that's huge. So is, you said A/B testing, is that like in-market testing then?
Vidyotham Reddi: Yeah, so what we do is we leverage Alibaba's platform to deploy content, versions of content if you may, based on our consumer work. And then, depending on how the heat is, in terms of which version of the content is really converting to more purchases, we can make a determination of which direction to go. So it's very much in-market, but it's not market at scale, so it's not like deployed national TV, if you may, or it's not stocked on shelf, it's not in-market in that sense of the term.
Jamin Brazil: Got it, it's digital.
Vidyotham Reddi: But it's very live, real consumer tested work.
Jamin Brazil: That's so interesting. And that's a material investment both in terms of time and treasure by Mars, Inc.
Vidyotham Reddi: Yeah, it is actually, and I think the investment, if you may, is I think I reap the benefits of Mars's work that preceded me, right? So when you think about Mars, great company,
