How is junbi different from other ad pre-testing methods?

junbi is a fast, scalable, and cost-effective alternative to traditional ad pre-testing. Unlike surveys, focus groups, or physical eye-tracking studies that take days or weeks, junbi provides instant, AI-driven feedback on the effectiveness of your video ad.

Key Differences

Here is how the junbi platform stands apart from traditional testing methods.

1. Speed (Minutes vs. Weeks)

   Traditional ad testing requires setting up studies, recruiting human participants, and analyzing manual responses. This process often takes weeks. junbi delivers results in minutes. For example, brands like Tempo-Team use junbi to test and optimize multiple ad variations in the time it would normally take to just set up a focus group.

2. Objective Data Over Subjective Opinions

   Surveys and focus groups rely on self-reported feedback. This is inherently biased because what people say is often different from what they actually do or see. junbi uses AI to objectively measure actual visual behavior through metrics like Ad Breakthrough, Brand Attention, and Cognitive Ease. Companies like Sunweb use this objective data to replace gut feelings and team debates with hard insights.

3. Massive Scalability

   Instead of testing ads with a small sample size of 20 to 50 viewers, junbi benchmarks your creative against over 20,000 real videos spread across various ad types. This provides insights based on massive, large-scale industry data rather than limited local opinions.

4. Pre-Launch Optimization

   Many traditional methods require running your ad in a real-world setting, like an A/B test on social media, before you understand its effectiveness. junbi lets you test your ad before you launch. This allows you to refine the edit and avoid wasting your media spend on an underperforming creative.

5. Actionable Benchmarks

   Instead of just handing you raw data, junbi scores your ad in percentiles. This immediately shows you exactly where your ad stands compared to the rest of the market and highlights which specific seconds need improvement.

💡 Pro Tip

End the Creative Debate: Use junbi as a neutral third party during creative reviews. If your team is debating between two different video edits, you do not need to guess or wait for a focus group. Upload both versions to junbi and let the objective AI scores declare the winner in minutes.
