In this report, Winterberry Group analyzes the current state and emerging trends in defining Creative Intelligence. Two decades of findings from Analytic Partner’s ROI Genome have contributed to the compiled research, revealing that to maximize commercial impact, advertisers must integrate creative elements into their optimization and measurement programs. While still largely undermeasured, the report provides a new framework to link creative asset-level data to brand outcomes, performance KPIs, and ultimately, sales impact.
