Toluna Creative Pre-Test Instant
London, United Kingdom
What it is
Toluna Creative Pre-Test Instant is a web-based advertising evaluation tool within Toluna Start. It uses synthetic personas to assess creative before launch, including attention, branding, persuasion, likeability, emotional resonance, and intent. Supported formats include online video, TV, social video, and TikTok/Reels, as well as high-quality animatics that closely represent final creative. Storyboards and early-stage or rough animatics are not supported. A project covers one market, up to 10 ads, and 200 completes; audience targeting currently uses age and gender, with customizable quotas for both. Reports include a scorecard combining nine validated KPIs, such as Breakthrough and Response scores, along with explain-why diagnostics, recommendations, and country- and format-specific benchmarks. Toluna says results can arrive in less than an hour, depending on the number of ads. The company reports more than 4,000 validations against human responses, an average match rate of 81%, and rates up to 92% in some countries.
