Advertising testing is a way of predicting the likely success of an advert or campaign, often before it is live (although not always), by reviewing whether it will meet objectives among the target audience.

Dependent on the method, it can also provide valuable feedback on anything that may need to be tweaked or improved to ensure the best impact. Additionally, if the ad or campaign performs well, it provides much needed confidence in the creative direction.

To read more about advertising testing and the different methods, read our introduction; What is Advertising Testing?

While there are many full service agencies that offer advertising testing, there are now numerous options for the automated, DIY approach. Some platforms have pre-set templates, others are more customisable, and others are mobile only.
