Examples of justifying design selection when outsourcing to a designer!

We would like to introduce a case study on the implementation of the image analysis AI tool "Kansei AI Analytics" at a confectionery manufacturer. At this manufacturer, the criteria for selecting packaging had become based on intuition, and they were struggling with how to choose designs that effectively conveyed their concept due to a lack of research funding. After implementation, they were able to visualize color impressions in graphs simply by uploading images. It became possible to select packaging with emotional value that they wanted to convey to consumers based on solid evidence from multiple ideas. [Case Overview] ■ Before Implementation - They were always selecting packaging ideas based on intuition, but they wanted to demonstrate internally that they could make selections based on evidence that would contribute to sales. ■ After Implementation - By using visually clear selection criteria, the level of agreement within the company increased, and they were able to showcase the presence of their department. *For more details, please refer to the related links or feel free to contact us.

Examples of cases when submitting as supporting materials for proposals to clients!

We would like to introduce a case study on the implementation of the image analysis AI tool "Kansei AI Analytics" at an advertising agency. As an advertising agency, we have been delivering catchphrase proposals for hand soap to clients, but since these proposals were created based on years of intuition and insights, it was difficult to provide evidence for them, making it challenging to gain client approval. After the implementation, the emotional impressions felt by consumers can be instantly visualized in graph form on the spot. Since evaluations can be conducted repeatedly, we are now able to assess all catchphrases from the stage of brainstorming ideas for delivery. [Case Overview] ■ Before Implementation - While we could understand the tendencies preferred by the persona from past data, we could not provide evidence for why this catchphrase resonates, as it was based on long-standing intuition. ■ After Implementation - By being able to provide evidence for intuitive insights, the delivery process has become smoother, and the number of requests has increased. *For more details, please refer to the related links or feel free to contact us.

Instantly generate 'convincing selection criteria'! Supporting the foundation of consumer research with AI insights.

"There are multiple design proposals, but there is no objective basis for deciding which one to choose." "I cannot provide a convincing explanation to my superiors and stakeholders beyond just a vague sense of goodness." "When compiling a report on panel surveys, simply listing numbers is not satisfying." These are challenges that every marketing professional faces. In particular, there are many situations where a clear rationale for "why this proposal was chosen" is required within limited budgets and time. Whether it's package design, product naming, or catchphrases—despite conducting consumer research, it often takes a lot of time to interpret and explain the evaluation results, and even then, it is difficult to make them sufficiently persuasive. To address these challenges, we introduce the new features "AI Insights" and "AI Chat" added to "Kansei AI Analytics." *For more details on the column, please refer to the related link.

Introducing deep dives into concepts, market research, package testing, and the extraction of improvement measures!

The strategy of package design that is essential for attracting consumers' attention and prompting them to pick up products among the countless items lined up on the shelves of supermarkets and convenience stores. Especially in the case of beverages, packaging serves as the "face" of the product, not only shaping the brand image but also directly appealing to consumers' visual senses and emotions, significantly influencing the repeat purchase rate. Therefore, rather than relying on vague impressions, it becomes extremely important to evaluate packaging from multiple perspectives and scientifically analyze consumers' sensibilities through "packaging research." This article focuses on the package design of beverage cans and introduces effective case studies of packaging research using the AI tool "Kansei AI Analytics," which has learned from consumer survey data. *For more details, please refer to the related links.

In public construction civil engineering sites, there are many instances where sheets are used as common temporary facilities, such as construction roads, access roads, heavy machinery work yards, material storage areas, and worker pathways. Traditionally, steel plates were common, but due to their weight, transportation and installation can be cumbersome. Hyper CLT sheets are civil engineering materials made from wooden CLT for civil engineering use. The 5×10 sheet weighs about 230 kg, and the 5×20 sheet weighs about 460 kg, making them lightweight and easy to transport, install, and remove, even with small machinery. They can be widely utilized for temporary roads, heavy machinery scaffolding, pathways within the site, and protection of material storage in public works. Since they are made of wood, they also contribute to environmental aspects such as reducing summer heat reflection, lowering noise, and fixing CO2. They can simultaneously address construction efficiency, safety measures, and environmental considerations, making them effective for innovative proposals in public works. Furthermore, they improve transportation efficiency and reduce labor in site operations as an alternative to steel plates. Hyper CLT sheets are registered technology with the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism under NETIS "TH-250021-A." They are recommended for companies considering civil engineering, civil engineering use, and civil engineering CLT. Feel free to request materials or consult about implementation. They are temporary materials that also help improve site evaluations in public works. Please consider them.

We have released a new video on our company’s YouTube channel. The theme of this video is "The World of Amino Acid-Based Shampoos." Amino acid-based shampoos have become popular in recent years, but the lather, feel, and finish can vary greatly depending on the cleansing ingredients used. In this video, we clearly explain the changes in user experience based on the differences in cleansing ingredients by comparing two types of amino acid-based shampoos. We hope you can use this as a hint for developing original shampoos and differentiation.
