Entropik Team
In the CPG sector, success is decided in seconds.
At the shelf, on a mobile screen, or inside a crowded e-commerce grid, consumers don’t analyze—they react. A glance, a feeling, a moment of clarity (or confusion) determines whether a product gets picked up or ignored.
Yet many CPG decisions are still driven by:
Stated preferences instead of real behaviour
Slow, recall-based research
Late-stage testing when it’s already too expensive to change
This is where CPG brands face a growing gap between what consumers say and what they actually do.
Entropik closes this gap by decoding emotion, attention, and behaviour—helping CPG teams build products, packaging, and campaigns that are truly consumer-backed.
Make Consumer-Backed Product Decisions

CPG brands operate at the intersection of speed, scale, and sensory decision-making. Whether you’re launching a new SKU, refreshing packaging, or rolling out a national campaign, every decision must land instantly with shoppers.
Entropik uses Emotion AI, attention tracking, and predictive intelligence to help CPG teams:
Understand how shoppers feel, not just what they say
See what gets noticed and what gets ignored
Validate decisions early—before production, printing, or media spend
The result: less guesswork, faster launches, and stronger shelf and campaign performance.
Smarter Testing for Every Stage of the CPG Journey
From early concepts to post-launch optimisation, Entropik supports the full CPG lifecycle with real behavioural evidence.
Concept → Pack → Shelf → Campaign → Scale
Instead of siloed tools and fragmented insights, Entropik creates a continuous feedback loop—connecting product, packaging, shopper experience, and marketing performance in one system.
Key CPG Challenges—and How Entropik Solves Them
1. Surveys Miss What Shoppers Feel
The Challenge:
Traditional surveys capture rational answers—but shopping decisions are emotional and subconscious. Consumers often can’t articulate why a product feels appealing, confusing, or forgettable.
This leads to:
Overconfidence in concept scores
Late-stage surprises post-launch
Missed emotional cues that drive purchase
Entropik Solution: Product Testing Beyond Taste & Claims
Entropik validates new products and concepts using:
Facial emotion analysis to detect delight, confusion, interest, or rejection
Voice emotion and hesitation cues to uncover uncertainty or excitement
Attention and clarity scores to see if claims actually land
CPG teams can measure:
Emotional resonance by segment
Purchase likelihood driven by emotion
Which product cues truly influence intent
This emotion-first validation improves new product success rates by up to 40%, reducing innovation risk early.
2. Packaging Gets Ignored on the Shelf
The Challenge:
In-store and digital shelves are overcrowded. Visual fatigue is real.
Even strong brands lose sales when:
Logos aren’t noticed
Claims aren’t readable
Visual hierarchy is unclear
If your pack isn’t seen, it isn’t chosen.
Entropik Solution: Packaging Optimisation That Pops Off the Shelf
Entropik uses webcam-based eye tracking to simulate real shelf and grid environments—without expensive labs or hardware.
CPG teams can:
Test pack visibility in cluttered shelves
Measure time-to-first-fixation
Validate label readability and hierarchy
Compare multiple pack variants side by side
Attention heatmaps reveal:
What shoppers see first
What they miss completely
Where design changes increase stopping power
Brands using Entropik achieve up to a 25% increase in shelf impact scores—before printing a single unit.
3. Shopper Journeys Are Fragmented Across Channels
The Challenge:
Modern CPG shopping journeys are omnichannel:
In-store discovery
Mobile research
E-commerce purchase
Subscription or repeat buying
But these journeys often break due to:
Inconsistent visuals and messaging
Confusing product pages
Attention drop-offs across touchpoints
Entropik Solution: Shopper Journey Insights Across Channels

Entropik decodes attention flow and emotional response across:
Physical shelf simulations
E-commerce product pages
Mobile-first discovery experiences
This helps CPG teams:
Identify friction and confusion in real time
See where attention drops across channels
Align pack, PDP, and campaign visuals
By understanding how attention travels, teams can fix disconnects that silently kill conversion.
4. Testing Is Too Slow for CPG Innovation Cycles
The Challenge:
Traditional CPG testing takes weeks or months. By the time insights arrive:
Launch windows are missed
Media is already live
Optimisation comes too late
Entropik Solution: Brand & Campaign Testing With Emotional Precision
Entropik enables pre-launch testing at the speed of CPG.
Marketing and brand teams can:
Predict attention, recall, and emotional impact
Test multiple creatives simultaneously
Benchmark against category norms and past winners
With Emotion AI and attention analytics, campaigns are optimised before going live—leading to:
30% better campaign performance prediction
Faster creative approvals
Higher confidence media decisions
