Brand Emotional Lift (BEL)

Brand Lift studies that brands, agencies, and platforms use today provide valuable signals. The BEL makes them actionable. By enhancing traditional Brand Lift insights through SGLabs’ emotional lens, we know who truly cares about your ad and why. These insights measure how your ad performs and targets your ad campaign with precision, improving overall ROAS!

Creative Emotional Lift (CEL) - Improve your ROAS!

The CEL helps brands and agencies understand how their creative resonates with a specific target audience. For a fraction of ones media budget, CEL enables highly targeted campaigns by revealing who truly loves an ad and is ready to convert - saving brands millions that would otherwise be wasted on inefficient or misaligned spend.

Measuring attention shows who’s watching.

 Measuring emotion reveals who cares!

By capturing the feelings that shape Purchase Intent, Brand Awareness, Creative Likability, Brand Recommendation, etc, SGLabs provides a stronger barometer of ad effectiveness than traditional brand lift alone.

Measuring creative the way consumers experience it – emotion first.

 

The SGLabs Emotional Lift platform (BEL & CEL) analyzes in-the-moment emotional responses alongside brand engagement outcomes, such as intent and consideration, to determine which emotions meaningfully influence brand performance.

This enables insights legacy metrics cannot provide, including, but not limited to:

  • Which emotional responses are associated with increased purchase intent.
  • Which emotions generate surface-level engagement without improving brand outcomes.

Brand Emotional Lift (BEL)

Traditional Brand Lift tells you what happened. SGLab’s BEL tells you why it happened, and who’s ready to take action. By applying SGLabs’ emotionally intelligent lens to standard brand lift metrics, BEL uncovers the audiences most emotionally engaged with your ad and most likely to convert. That insight fuels better targeting, higher ROAS, and clearer advertiser-ready narratives.

Creative Emotional Lift (CEL)

CEL delivers the emotional intelligence of BEL without the need for a control group. Every respondent sees your creative, giving you faster setup, broader flexibility, and deeper insight into which audiences are most influenced, and why.

Whether you’re investing $500K or $50M, CEL helps optimize your media using insight from the creative you just produced.

Inspired by our BEL and CEL, the Game Emotional Lift (GEL) measures emotional response to a brand’s integration in gameplay. Powered by our Seamless Pulse, the GEL reveals how well an ad integrates into a game or disrupts it. When an ad blends into a game, it deepens immersion and elevates the experience. But when an ad interrupts that flow, it breaks the moment, causing players to recoil and disengage with the game, and the overall experience.
