Ed Harrison, of System1 Research, the company behind the acclaimed, best-selling IPA publication, Lemon (2019), describes a change in advertising style that has occurred over the last 15 years and links this to falling advertising effectiveness.Ed will share that a golden age for advertising technology has been far from a golden age for advertising creativity. Referencing the brain and how it attends to the world, he'll reveal how an attentional shift in the 21st Century in society, business and advertising has led to flatter, more abstract and devitalised work; an advertising style that is diametrically opposed to effectiveness. Describing how the brain attends to art, sculpture, music, and advertising, he will offer guidance on the type of advertising that moves and entertains audiences, and so achieves profitable growth.Lemon chronicles the decline in creative effectiveness, identifies why it has happened and provides tangible solutions to reverse it.

Course5's approach proposes to complement traditional ad-testing and provide insights support to the brand marketer through a simple online tool which uses AI to mine past data and pre-evaluate new creatives. The paper talks about how we can use AI to help address these business questions. It specifically demonstrates the use case of optimizing a creative by providing inputs to help improve its chances of success. This is done with insights related to branding, using Intel's 'past research data' and computer vision/audition algorithms and machine learning technologies in the Course5 Research Suite.
Suze is a traditional French aperitif, born in 1889. The iconic logo and the yellow brand colors are well known from posters, brasserie carafes, and wall murals in French towns. But the brand itself had become quite dated. We applied semiotics to understand the DNA of the brand and its cultural connotations, resonance. This allowed us to be free from any influence of (current) consumer perceptions. This x-ray of the brand's DNA revealed strands of potential future positioning stories - from a natural ingredient story right through to gender-fluidity: astonishing for a brand that is over 100 years old.

Automation makes it easy to ask more from our respondents without fully considering the impact on engagement. While video and voice techniques offer hope to increase insight, do these just make it more difficult to engage respondents? We examined the value exchange between respondent and researcher as mobile research pushes the boundaries of privacy. What must we give our respondents in order for them to give to us? We will learn the best way to incentivise respondents to stay engaged with a week-long diary, submit photos and answer our questions using video and voice-to-text. Can we engage our respondents with items outside the research process that might induce greater stickiness with the given task?
