NEW YORK –– February 13, 2019 –– Persado, the leader in using AI to generate the best-performing marketing creative harnessing the power of words, today unveiled Descriptive Insights. This enhancement is the latest addition to Persado Analytics, the company’s robust suite of AI and data-driven marketing insights.

Descriptive Insights gives Persado customers unmatched analysis and insights of how specific words and phrases related to product classifications, promotions, offers and services influence marketing campaign engagement. With this latest release, CMOs and their teams gain access to more industry-leading, holistic analytics on how and why language impacts marketing campaign performance, ultimately empowering them to use science instead of guesswork to craft digital marketing creative and beyond.

“Even with the rise of AI, today’s marketing teams still rely heavily on intuition and opinion when crafting advertising creative. Our goal is to change that narrative by arming marketers with the confidence of mathematical certainty, and the comprehensive insights necessary to intelligently generate marketing creative and drive revenue,” said Assaf Baciu, Co-Founder and SVP of Product & Engineering, Persado. “Descriptive Insights is a major milestone for Persado as we lead this AI and data-driven creative revolution. This update gives marketers more than just an understanding of how language performs in their marketing campaigns –– it gives them critical lessons they can apply across the entire customer experience, both online and offline.”

Examples of how Descriptive Insights can be applied across creative, media and industries include:

Retail and E-commerce: Understand whether audiences respond better to discount percentages (% off), offer amounts ($ off) or value-focused descriptions (great deal).
Technology: Discover if focusing on the product sophistication (award-winning, advanced, next-level software)is more effective than focusing on the user experience (easy-to-use, user-friendly, interactive software).
Fashion: Determine which characteristics of different garments (material, pattern, color, style, et al.) are more alluring to shoppers.
Financial Services: Explore whether messages with specific instructions (get started here) or those that highlight specific features and perks (earn more miles) drive more credit card applications.
Travel & Hospitality: Know whether travelers are more likely to respond to messages that highlight the value-for-money (affordable rates, cheap rooms, low fares) or ones that focus on their experience (exciting destinations, stunning views, fun activities).
