Artificial Intelligence and Marketing Research 


Uncover the Power of AI for Critical Insights

Voice of the Customer (VOC) has been a best practice in New Product Development and Service Innovation for more than 30 years.  But executing a rigorous, academically sound VOC can be a time-consuming and labor-intensive process – worth it for sure, but not without a fairly significant cost.  And so, it should be no surprise that both academics and practitioners have been looking for ways to speed up and reduce that cost ever since its origin.  Thankfully, in recent years, machine learning and artificial intelligence (AI) have been transforming the way we gather information about customer experiences. By leveraging the power of AI, businesses now have a unique opportunity to better understand customer needs and to find game-changing consumer insights. 

Applied Marketing Science (AMS), in collaboration with researchers at the MIT Sloan School of Management, has developed a new way to uncover critical insights from existing user-generated content.

How aha intelligence™ (ai ) Can Deliver Faster, Better Market Research Insights

As part of the aha insight technology platform, our new generative artificial intelligence-based analytics and reporting tool, enables market researchers and brand insights teams to more efficiently analyze unstructured market research data to quickly identify your brand’s aha moments.

aha intelligence™ (ai) gives analysts the ability to:

  1. Quickly summarize large qualitative data sets (we’re talking minutes here).
  2. Instantly apply sentiment analysis to the response sets.
  3. Automatically tag thematic responses to support your findings.
  4. Connect unseen or more subtle data points, leading to breakthrough insights.
  5. Provide supporting quotes and clips to validate your key themes.
  6. And most importantly, our latest enhancement outlines your first draft.

ai was designed to give researchers the ability to validate their thinking and, more importantly, identify blind spots that they may not have identified previously, connecting the unseen dots. For instance, ai might give five summary insights for a set of unstructured data: three summaries might corroborate the key insights a human would have identified, one might be a completely erroneous flyer, and the fifth might identify a breakthrough insight that the researcher may not have discovered otherwise.

The key features of the aha intelligence tool include the ability to auto-tag entire studies to instantly organize supporting text-based quotes, video clips and images that bring observations, insights and recommendations to life. To protect brand and respondent privacy, the platform does not allow proprietary data to be shared with the outside world – aha intelligence is a closed-loop application, not part of an open-source artificial intelligence system.
