MediaScience has made a groundbreaking discovery in the field of advertisement research, as the company has created a new feature called “Creative Twin.” The company has created a methodology using AI, which allows researchers to recreate the exact advertisement. The company has chosen the Advertising Research Foundation’s Audience x Science conference as the platform to launch the new feature. The founder of the company, Duane Varan, will lead the presentation.
The company has created the solution using MediaPET.ai software, which generates AI replicas of the advertisement. These replicas are indistinguishable from the original creative assets. In controlled testing with 812 U.S. respondents, audiences failed to distinguish original ads from AI-generated versions. The Ehrenberg-Bass Institute supported this research. Once recreated, each ad component can be systematically modified. This process helps measure precise audience responses effectively.
Scalable Creative Optimization and Real-World Applications
The “Creative Twin” enables testing of variables previously difficult or costly to isolate. Marketers can manipulate every element within a video advertisement. For instance, brands can test ads with different celebrities or without any celebrity. This reveals the true value of each talent. The technology also supports scalable optimization for addressable advertising campaigns. Brands can create one ad and adapt it for different audiences. In a shampoo test, curly-haired audiences preferred the AI-modified version over the original. The modified version improved brand recognition and purchase intent.
“This represents a fundamental shift in how advertising creative can be evaluated and optimized,” said Duane Varan, CEO of MediaScience and MediaPET. “For the first time, researchers can isolate and measure the contribution of individual creative elements within an advertisement, providing marketers with unprecedented clarity about what truly drives effectiveness. And they can now properly optimize and personalize ads without compromising on production quality.”
