OVERVIEW

See how your campaigns really perform—and what to do next

Ever launched a campaign and wondered what actually moved the needle?

Nepa’s campaign evaluation cuts through vanity metrics to reveal true impact—brand effect, emotional connection, and sales power.

Watch how continuous testing and deep benchmarking help you optimise creative, sharpen strategy, and make every campaign count.

IMPACT

Proven impact — what campaign evaluation actually delivers

Most campaigns are measured on reach and impressions. But the real question is whether your campaign changed anything. Based on Nepa’s case experience across hundreds of campaigns, systematic campaign evaluation consistently drives measurable efficiency gains — across four key levers.

+10–20%

Creative & assets
Identifying which elements drive brand linkage and ad liking

+5–15%

In-flight corrections
Acting on fast feedback during the campaign — not after

+10–30%

Audience
& context fit

Focusing spend where audiences respond most

+10–50%

Brand platform
Ensuring campaigns reinforce brand position over time

Solutions

Solutions to your top campaign evaluation challenges

Most marketers struggle with delayed feedback, shallow metrics, and no clear next steps. Sound familiar?

Nepa’s campaign evaluation changes that. We deliver fast, holistic insights—combining reach, brand effect, and emotional impact—benchmarked against 2,800+ campaigns.

With clear campaign testing, you’ll know what’s working, what to change, and how to get more from every campaign.

Three objectives. One measurement framework.

Campaign Pulse is built around three clear objectives — each answering the questions that matter most before, during, and after a campaign. Together, they give you a complete picture of campaign performance: from initial attention through to lasting brand impact.

01:
Cut through the noise

Have consumers observed our campaign?
Is our brand clearly conveyed?
Which brand assets drive recognition?

Observation · Sender recall · Brand asset contribution

02:
Get them hooked

Is our message coming through clearly?
Do consumers like our campaign?
Does it stand out from competitors?
What emotions does it evoke?

Message clarity · Liking · Distinctiveness · Emotion Palette

03:
Move the needle

What actions does the campaign inspire?
How does it affect our brand image?
Does it reinforce our brand position?

Purchase intent · Brand fit · Brand perception impact

Every Campaign Pulse study is pre-built with curated research questions across all three objectives, with the flexibility to add up to four bespoke questions tailored to your specific campaign goals.

Add-ons

Neurons

Add deeper insight to Campaign Pulse. Neurons uses neuroscience tools to show what really grabs attention and sticks in memory—tracking where people look and how they feel when they see your campaign, so you know which creative elements truly stand out and connect.

Brand Touch

Reveal your brand’s emotional fingerprint using Nepa’s Brand Touch personality model. Ideal for brand platform development, tone-of-voice, creative briefs and strategic repositioning.

Emotion Palette

Emotion Palette — because not all feelings drive results

Reach and liking are important. But the emotions your campaign creates are what determine whether it truly moves people — and whether it builds or weakens your brand over time. Nepa’s Emotion Palette goes beyond asking if people liked an ad to revealing exactly how it made them feel.

The data behind it
Based on analysis of 1,000+ ad tests in Nepa’s benchmark database, we found a direct relationship between the emotions a campaign evokes and its ability to drive commercial outcomes:
Moving one level up in Ad Liking delivers a 7–16% increase in Activation — measured as purchase intent, visiting intent, or word of mouth.

The five emotional zones
Emotion Palette maps campaign responses across five zones based on energy level and valence:

 

Zone

Energy

Emotions

Impact on liking

High energy positive

High / Positive

Happy, Excited, Enthusiastic, Euphoric

Strong driver — BUILD

Low energy positive

Low / Positive

Calm, Satisfied, Grateful, Hopeful

Driver — BUILD

Neutral

Neutral, Unaffected, Indifferent, Surprised

Barrier — OVERCOME

Low energy negative

Low / Negative

Sad, Uncomfortable, Sceptical, Bored

Barrier — OVERCOME

High energy negative

High / Negative

Angry, Frustrated, Stressed, Worried

High risk — AVOID

Emotion Palette is included as standard in the Core (Campaign Pulse) package and available as an add-on for Mini and Plus.

Nepa Trinity

Campaign Pulse is even more powerful as part of a connected system

Campaign evaluation tells you how your campaign performed. But the most important question — whether your campaign actually built your brand and drove business outcomes — requires connecting campaign data to your broader measurement ecosystem. That is what Nepa Trinity delivers.

Campaign Pulse + Brand Tracking

Overlaying Campaign Pulse data with brand tracking connects in-campaign metrics to actual brand equity movement. This lets you answer the question that most CMOs cannot answer today:

“Did people like the ad?”  →  “Did the ad build the brand — and how?”

  • Link campaign exposure and creative performance to shifts in brand KPIs such as awareness or consideration
  • See which campaigns create lasting uplift versus short-term spikes
  • Understand how competitor campaigns affect your KPIs — and when to defend
  • Track how the emotions your campaign creates shape your brand position over time

Campaign Pulse + Marketing Mix Modelling

Combining Campaign Pulse with MMM closes the loop between creative performance and commercial outcomes. You can see not only whether your campaign was liked — but whether it drove measurable sales and how to allocate budget for maximum return.

  • Identify which campaign waves drove the strongest media-driven sales uplift
  • Understand the long-term brand-building effect alongside short-term activation
  • Prioritise spend across channels based on proven effectiveness data

Nepa is one of the few research partners able to deliver all three measurement layers — brand tracking, campaign evaluation, and MMM — in a fully connected system.

RESULTS

Real results from real campaigns

Campaign evaluation is only valuable if it changes what you do next. Here is how two leading brands used Nepa’s Campaign Pulse to fundamentally improve their campaign effectiveness.

Hemköp — from blending in to standing out

Hemköp, Sweden’s leading grocery retailer with 200+ stores, faced a critical challenge: their campaigns were generating attention — but for the wrong brands. Early Campaign Pulse measurements revealed that a significant share of consumers believed Hemköp’s ads came from competitors ICA and Willys. The brand was, in effect, spending its own budget to build its competitors’ recognition.

Together with Nepa, Hemköp redefined their creative strategy — building on distinctive color assets (pink and red), sharpening brand cues, and ensuring every creative was unmistakably Hemköp. Campaign Pulse tracked progress wave by wave.

+40%

Sender recall
Consumers correctly attributing ads to Hemköp

 

+38%

Campaign liking
Improvement in overall ad liking

 

+13%

Purchase intention
Uplift in stated purchase intent

 

 

+50%

Media-driven sales
Sales uplift over the programme

 

If Insurance — one framework, four Nordic markets

If Insurance, the leading property and casualty insurer in the Nordics, needed a single measurement framework to guide brand advertising decisions across Sweden, Finland, Norway and Denmark — and help all markets work from the same strategic playbook.

“We are extremely happy with our collaboration with Nepa in evaluating the impact of our advertising. The results are presented in an easily understandable manner, making it easier for us to gain actionable insights to further develop our communication”.

Anssi Soini — Nordic Insight Manager, If Insurance

FAQ

Quick answers to questions you might have

Ad hoc MMM solutions are designed for in-depth strategic insights, providing a snapshot of your past marketing effectiveness. Continuous MMM, on the other hand, offers ongoing insights with regular updates based on the latest data and trends, allowing for continuous follow-up and strategic planning.

Nepa’s MMM captures both the direct short-term effects and the long-term brand impact of marketing activities on conversions. This dual approach ensures a comprehensive understanding of how media investments contribute to brand equity and sales over time – decreasing the risk of overestimating the short-term effects. We use brand tracking KPI as a proxy, reflecting changes in brand equity over time. However, in the model, the ultimate output remains sales, ensuring that brand-building efforts are linked to actual business impact and you can report a monetary value of branding efforts.
