Central Creative Intelligence is a term coined by 📝Marpipe, Inc. for the accumulated data showing how people have responded to every component of a brand's creative, across media, over a long period of time.
The term names a gap in advertising data. Facebook and Google hold extensive data on how people respond to an ad as a complete unit, but those platforms do not register the subtle differences between one ad and the next. Because Marpipe's platform generates ads from a brand's individual creative components, it can compile which components work for a particular brand with a particular audience, producing a data set that had not existed before.
Marpipe illustrated the idea with an experiment asking whether changing the formatting of a single line of text in an advertisement affects how an audience perceives its message; the company's Does Creative Matter? site takes up the same question. Within a single brand, the data has direct and tangible value.
Pooled across brands, the data gains predictive power: it can provide guidelines for what creative should look like for products or brands that do not yet exist, and for how to market to audiences that have never been shown a brand's creative. That cross-brand, component-level view is what distinguishes Central Creative Intelligence from ordinary ad-performance reporting.
We refer to this new type of data as Central Creative Intelligence. This is a data set that has never existed before.
