What people are saying about us

  • Synovate's approach for measuring communication impact and emotional connection is compelling to our team because it provides clear direction on the potential VALUE of our test messages.

    The correlation data they provided on purchase intent versus liking versus their own modeled result, coupled with their broad validation data, provided strong evidence that their method was superior to other approaches to message testing that we were considering.

    To date, we have used their method successfully across different categories, brands and countries.
