Get ready to evaluate and optimise your creative


In order to launch our self-serve ad testing solution, you will need the following information:


Purchase Order/reference
If you plan on running multiple ad tests, you may find it easier to raise a purchase order in order to simplify the fulfillment process. If you do not use purchase orders, then we recommend providing a reference that we can use when we bill you. Alternatively, you may type in 'None' or 'N/A'. 
Target sample/audience
If you're not using a general population sample (or a sample you or your Kantar team have previously set up) you will need to contact us to request your sample, prior to launching your project.
Up to three key messages that each ad is trying to convey to the audience

Each message should be about the brand i.e. what the ad communicates about the brand and a simple statement/s. Use language which a consumer will easily understand and ensure that it is NOT a direct quote from the ad. Be careful to only include single-minded statement/s, i.e do not add statements which contain two messages, as you won’t know which one the consumers are responding to.
