ACCELERATED INSIGHTS WITH FOCUS AI

Focus AI transforms advertising intelligence data into presentation-ready data stories.

Easy to personalize and instantly published, Focus AI uses a structured analytical workflow to create two different data stories: Change Category Drivers and Sales Scorecards.

Each data story offers a suite of interactive insights neatly packaged within detailed narratives to present an executive summary and set of conclusions.


BECOME A SUBJECT MATTER EXPERT IN A CATEGORY:

CATEGORY CHANGE DRIVERS

Quickly understand the key dynamics affecting the changes within a category or competitive set.

Category Change Drivers gives you a 360º macro perspective of advertiser's core communication goals including budget, share of voice, geography, media mix, seasonality, and messaging. This allows a seller to become a subject matter expert on how a category is performing in a local market.

See exactly how new advertisers and creatives could be affecting the change in your category.

HOW IT WORKS

    Vivvix-Defined Categories allows you to manually search a previously defined category in Vivvix and add relevant advertisers.

  2. Profile Filters

    Base your data story on your account profiles or select None to create a brand-new data story.

COMPARE COMPETITORS INSTANTLY WITH SALES SCORECARD

The Sales Scorecard enables media owners to create a side-by-side comparison of key indicators defining competitor communications strategies – without running multiple reports and pivoting the results on your own!

Sales Scorecard simplifies the workload by offering an immediate competitive snapshot across all paid media. Simply select the media owners you’d like to compare, and the Sales Scorecard will create a concise side-by-side comparison of their KPIs, including ad revenue, share, rank, growth statistics, media mix and more.

2. Additional Filters: Set your category and media/market parameters.

You then have the option to compare your current time period to a previous-like time

period (current month vs. previous month), or the same time period year ago (January

2023 vs. January 2022).

Note: If your selections include any month with preliminary data, uncheck the final data

box for more accurate intel.

Choose whether you would like to Include Category Average along with an Other

Summary.
