Communication and Media Insights
Effective communication starts with the right message and ends with the right channel. ACTR offers research on communication strategies and media habits that help you reach real consumers — with the right content, at the right time, in the right place — aligned with their interests, expectations, and media behavior.
Why it matters:
Communication is not just about a catchy slogan or a creative video — it’s about delivering the right message, in the right format, at the right time, to the right audience. Before investing in a campaign, you need to be sure your message truly works.
What you’ll learn:
- How your audience perceives your communication materials
- Whether the message is clear, relevant, and memorable
- What elicits positive or negative responses from consumers
- What emotional reactions or behavioral shifts the materials provoke
- How your campaign’s effectiveness could be improved
What you’ll gain:
ACTR analysts will help you:
- Validate your communication concept and message direction
- Select the optimal messaging, format, and tone for each segment
- Identify key details that strengthen or weaken your campaign’s impact
- Maximize the effectiveness and ROI of your marketing spend
Customer-centric communication makes your message more compelling and actionable — and becomes a key driver of product and business success.
Why it matters:
In today’s media landscape, consumers are flooded with messages from every direction. As a result, they learn to filter — choosing trusted sources and prioritizing platforms where they find content that truly matters to them.
Knowing where your audience “lives” in the media ecosystem — which platforms they use, what they trust, and what they value — directly determines your communication’s success.
What you’ll learn:
- Which channels your audience uses to receive information
- The role and influence of different media formats in their decision-making
- How media behavior evolves over time
- Which platforms are most effective for your specific segments
- Levels of trust, engagement, and frequency of media use
What you’ll gain:
ACTR’s media behavior analysis provides a data-driven roadmap for where, how, and with whom to communicate. As a result, you’ll be able to:
- Build a media strategy that truly connects with your audience
- Reduce unnecessary media spend or improve your ROI
- Apply media insights across current and future campaigns
Why it matters:
The success of your communication often hinges on a single phrase, tone, or word. A marketing message must not only deliver the right content — it needs to resonate emotionally and feel natural and clear to your audience. If the message misses the mark, it gets ignored.
What you’ll learn:
- How clear and memorable your message is
- How your audience reacts to specific words, phrases, or tones
- Whether the message evokes emotional engagement or interest
- Which elements work and which require improvement
- How different segments perceive and interpret the message
What you’ll gain:
ACTR’s message testing gives you a detailed understanding of what works, why it works, and how to improve it — so your message not only reaches your audience, but truly connects.
The result? Communication that speaks to the heart — not just the head.
Why it matters:
A campaign may be expensive, creative, and widely visible — but without measuring real impact, success remains a guess. Customer-centric businesses need results, not just hopes.
What you’ll learn:
- How your campaign influenced brand/product awareness, image, and loyalty
- How audience behavior changed as a result of the campaign
- How effective your channel selection and media budget allocation were
- Which creative elements performed well and which fell short
- How well your campaign outcomes aligned with original objectives
What you’ll gain:
ACTR’s analysts provide an in-depth evaluation — not just your campaign’s ROI, but also audience engagement levels, emotional resonance, and shifts in perceptions and behavior.
