Creative should never be a gamble.

In a world where attention is fleeting and media costs are rising, brands can no longer afford to rely on instinct, opinions, or post launch data to evaluate creative performance. The difference between a winning campaign and wasted spend often comes down to what happens in the first second - what people notice, what they feel, and what they remember.

This is why leading brands are turning to AI Creative Insights by Entropik. It enables marketers to predict attention, emotion, clarity, and performance before launch, helping teams make confident, data driven creative decisions at speed and scale.

By combining predictive AI with deep behavioral intelligence, Entropik transforms creative evaluation from guesswork into a measurable, repeatable advantage.

Brands See Measurable Uplift With Entropik

AI Creative Insights delivers real, quantifiable impact across the creative lifecycle. Brands using the platform consistently see measurable improvements in speed, efficiency, and performance.

  • 0.5 increase in Attention Capture

  • 60 percent reduction in Time to Approval

  • 25 percent reduction in Creative Costs

  • 0.4 uplift in Click Through Rate

  • 0.35 uplift in Brand Recall

These outcomes reinforce a simple truth - when creative decisions are guided by data instead of opinions, performance follows.

Creatives should not be a gamble. With AI Creative Insights, data leads every decision.

The Creative Testing Challenge in Today’s Attention Economy

Consumers today are exposed to thousands of brand messages every single day. Feeds are crowded, formats are fragmented, and attention spans are shrinking. Brands have milliseconds to make an impression, yet creative decisions are often slow, subjective, and reactive.

Traditional creative evaluation methods struggle to keep pace because:

  • Feedback is opinion based and inconsistent

  • Panel and survey testing is slow and expensive

  • Post launch metrics arrive too late to prevent failure

  • Variant volume outpaces testing capacity

As a result, weak creative frequently makes it to market, draining media budgets and underperforming in the moments that matter most.

AI Creative Insights addresses this challenge by moving learning to the very start of the creative process.

What Is AI Creative Insights by Entropik

AI Creative Insights is a predictive creative intelligence platform that simulates how people see, feel, and understand creative content across images and videos.

Instead of asking audiences what they think after the fact, it predicts:

  • Where attention goes

  • What elements are noticed first

  • How emotions rise and fall

  • Whether the message is clear

  • How likely the creative is to drive recall and action

It delivers these insights in minutes, without panels, surveys, or live media spend, enabling brands to optimize creative before it goes live.

Key Capabilities That Power Smarter Creative Decisions

Entropik’s AI Creative Insights brings together multiple layers of intelligence to deliver a complete view of creative performance.

1. Predictive Attention AI

Predictive Attention AI allows teams to compare creatives and forecast attention, recall, and resonance before launch. Marketers can test multiple variations, evaluate performance potential, and confidently choose the version most likely to drive impact.

This capability helps answer critical questions early:

  • Which creative grabs attention fastest

  • Which variant communicates the message most clearly

  • Which execution is most likely to perform at scale

The UI features analytics cards showing "Attention" and "Clarity" scores compared to a benchmark, alongside an Area of Interest (AOI) tool. A fashion advertisement mockup demonstrates branding analysis and duration settings for consumer eye-tracking data.

By screening creative upfront, teams reduce risk and avoid investing in low performing assets.

2. Emotion Simulation

Attention alone is not enough. How people feel while engaging with creative content plays a critical role in engagement, recall, and persuasion.

Emotion Simulation visualizes emotional responses second by second across videos and experiences. It highlights emotional highs, moments of connection, and drop offs that signal confusion or disengagement.

With this insight, teams can:

  • Understand emotional triggers

  • Optimize storytelling and pacing

  • Strengthen moments that drive engagement

  • Fix scenes that cause emotional disconnect


A facial coding analytics platform featuring a "Media Graph Metrics" chart that maps emotional responses such as Happy, Surprise, and Anger over a video's duration. The UI displays real-time facial tracking on a participant alongside a "Decode Score" and dominant emotion summary. Detailed emotion metrics provide a second-by-second breakdown of viewer sentiment for digital advertisements.

Creative becomes not just visible, but emotionally resonant.

3. Visual Hierarchy Heatmaps

Visual Hierarchy Heatmaps reveal where people look first, how their gaze moves, and which elements hold or lose attention.

This capability helps teams optimize:

  • Layout and composition

  • Branding placement

  • CTA visibility

  • Storytelling flow

The interface includes a data table for "Time to Discover" metrics and "Attention" benchmarks across different video segments. Integrated category filters and AOI overlays help marketers optimize the visual prominence of brand assets.

Instead of relying on assumptions, marketers see concrete evidence of how visual hierarchy performs in real viewing conditions.

4. Prescriptive AI Suggestions

AI Creative Insights goes beyond diagnostics to provide prescriptive guidance.

It delivers clear, actionable recommendations that explain:

  • What to change

  • Why it matters

  • What impact the change will drive


An AI-driven analysis dashboard providing automated creative insights for video content, including evaluations of color tones, taglines, and logo placement. The UI features a "Regenerate Insights" button and a structured breakdown of claims, brand consistency, and professional atmosphere. Detailed prescription panels offer AI-generated advice on how to improve advertisement impact and engagement.

This bridges the gap between insight and execution, helping creative and media teams move faster with confidence.

Deep Creative Intelligence at Your Fingertips

AI Creative Insights offers a comprehensive set of metrics that reveal how creative truly performs.

1. Attention Metrics

Attention metrics show exactly how users visually engage with creative content.

First Fixation
Identify the precise element that captures attention first, whether it is a face, product, headline, or CTA.

Attention Duration
Measure how long users focus on key visual elements, revealing what holds interest and what gets ignored.

Visual Path and Retention
Track the journey of eye movement across the creative and identify elements that sustain attention the longest.

These insights help teams design creative that guides attention intentionally rather than accidentally.

2. Engagement and Comprehension

Beyond attention, AI Creative Insights measures how well creative communicates and persuades.

Emotion Mapping
Capture emotional responses as users engage with the creative, revealing moments of excitement, confusion, or disengagement.

Message Clarity
Assess whether the core message is understood quickly and clearly.

Brand Recall and Purchase Intent
Predict how effectively the creative drives memory and intent to buy, key indicators of downstream performance.

This ensures creative not only looks good but works hard.

3. Comparative Intelligence

Creative performance is most valuable when viewed in context.

AI Creative Insights enables teams to benchmark against:

  • Industry and competitor standards

  • Channel specific performance norms

  • Audience and demographic segments

  • Historical campaign performance

This comparative intelligence helps teams identify what works, what differentiates, and where improvement is needed.

How AI Creative Insights Fits Across the Creative Lifecycle

AI Creative Insights supports decision making at every stage of the creative journey.

Pre Production and Concept Testing

Test early concepts, storyboards, and animatics to reduce reshoots and late stage revisions.

Variant Screening and Optimization

In App and Placement Validation

Why AI Creative Insights Outperforms Traditional Testing

Compared to traditional panel based testing and basic A B experimentation, AI Creative Insights offers a clear advantage.

  • Results in minutes instead of weeks

  • Lower cost with AI based scalability

  • Test 20 or more creatives simultaneously

  • Predictive and prescriptive insights

  • Pre launch optimization instead of post mortem analysis

This shift enables teams to move faster without sacrificing rigor.

Real Business Impact for Modern Brands

The impact of AI Creative Insights extends beyond creative teams.

Brands experience:

  • Faster approvals and reduced internal friction

  • Lower creative production and testing costs

  • Higher confidence in launch decisions

  • Stronger campaign performance and ROAS

  • Fewer failed launches and wasted spend

Creative becomes a growth lever rather than a risk factor.

Why AI Creative Insights Matters Now More Than Ever

As competition intensifies and media inflation continues, the margin for error in creative decisions is shrinking. Brands that rely on instinct and delayed feedback will fall behind those that use predictive intelligence to guide action.

AI Creative Insights removes lag, uncertainty, and guesswork from the creative process. It empowers teams to launch campaigns backed by evidence, not opinions, and ensures every media dollar works harder.

The future of creative testing is predictive, emotional, and intelligent. With Entropik AI Creative Insights, brands are not just keeping up - they are leading.
