Two video formats scored alike in isolation; seen side by side, seven in ten chose full animation
A building materials company publishes educational videos and wanted more organic reach. Before setting up a regular testing routine, it asked which of two formats worked harder.
Both formats were rated separately and then shown together for a choice, across tier-one and tier-two cities.
Rated alone, the two were level and both scored high. Shown together, 69 per cent chose full animation. The client adopted the format and the quick test as a routine for later creatives.
