It is the practice of taking various components of your ads and then using trial and error to know which ad your target group will prefer. It means testing a number of adverts at the same time to determine which element draws attention, generates interest, and prompts a call to action.
It may be that you change headlines, images, the CTAs, or even the kind of ad that is being shown. The goal? To refine your creative strategy based on data-driven insights, not guesswork.
By 2025, the speed of consumers’ choices will be more unpredictable than ever before. Hence, the formula; with the onset of personalization through AI, the survivor is the ad that feels genuine. Creative testing does not allow you to take shots at the wall if you know what I mean. They deal much with knowing not guessing.
