ESOTERIC INTELLIGENCE

AdPulse by ESOTERIC

An AI-powered ad testing tool for creative analysis, audience fit, and pre-launch performance prediction.

TL;DR

Test creative before you spend media budget.

AdPulse is ESOTERIC’s AI-powered ad-testing tool for brands, agencies, and performance teams that want to evaluate creative before launch. It analyzes attention, emotional triggers, audience fit, platform suitability, compliance risks, creative strength, and likely performance potential before budget is committed.

Upload a creative. Understand whether it is ready to run.

AdPulse helps teams pressure-test ideas before launch and turn feedback into clearer creative decisions.

Is the message clear enough? Which elements attract attention first? Which audience is most likely to respond? What should we improve or test before launch?

The Shift

Creative should not only be judged after spend. It should be challenged before launch.

Discovery no longer happens in one place. A creative may need to earn attention in a social feed, support a paid-media campaign, prompt a search, survive a comparison, and lead people towards a landing page before it contributes to action.

Live campaign data remains essential, but it arrives after budget has already been spent. When creative learning begins only after launch, testing becomes slower, more expensive, and harder to act on.

AdPulse brings structured analysis earlier in the process. It helps creative, brand, and media teams enter live testing with stronger starting points, clearer hypotheses, and better questions about what to optimize next.

From Creative Upload to Better Decision

A clearer pre-launch workflow from idea to action.

AdPulse connects AI creative analysis, synthetic audience testing, attention heatmaps, emotional triggers, platform scoring, risks, and optimization recommendations into one pre-launch workflow. The goal is not to replace live testing. It is to make the first round of testing smarter.

01

Upload the Creative

Test static images, video, carousels, and multi-format campaign assets.

02

Define the Context

Add the platform, objective, audience, message, product, industry, and brand direction.

03

Analyze Attention

Understand which elements are likely to attract focus, support the message, or create drop-off risk.

04

Test Audience Fit

Evaluate creative against synthetic audience segments, motivations, pain points, and values.

05

Score Platform Suitability

Review whether the asset fits the channels and placements it is designed to run across.

06

Refine Before Launch

Use scores, heatmaps, risks, recommendations, and A/B-test ideas to improve the creative.

Why AdPulse Is Different

Creative feedback should arrive before media spend.

Creative does not live in isolation. It earns social attention, carries media spend, shapes audience response, and influences whether a campaign creates enough interest for people to search, compare, click, and convert.

Most campaign learning still begins after launch. Teams commit budget, wait for live data, identify weaker assets, and then use the next round of spend to test what could have been challenged earlier.

AdPulse shifts part of that learning upstream. It helps teams evaluate creative quality, audience fit, platform suitability, risks, and testing opportunities before launch, then use those insights to strengthen paid-media decisions, improve social content, and build smarter learning loops.

It does not replace real campaign data. It gives live testing a stronger starting point.
