In sci-fi movies, advertisers put subliminal messages into their ad creative that somehow brainwash viewers into buying things. In reality, we rely on creative instincts, which usually works. Or does it? To find out, Marpipe put five sets of two ads in front of 750+ marketing professionals—from creatives to performance marketers to CMOs—and asked them to guess which of the two was the higher performer. It turns out that predicting ad performance is not marketers' strong suit: Most can predict winning digital ad creative only 52% of the time, the study found. It also found that the inability to predict ad creative performance is universal across marketing roles. Think you can do better? The original quiz is embedded within Marpipe's report so you can see what survey respondents were up against and test your own creative intuition. Read the full report to find out why advanced multivariate testing is a lot more reliable than creative instinct—until we invent those subliminal messages, that is.
