In this project we showed two very different car commercials to a small sample of people. One is a commercial for Kia that features comedy actress Melissa McCarthy
while she goes on wild and rather uncomfortable adventures to save the planet. The other is a more traditional
car commercial from Alpha Romeo that shows a car driving in a beautiful landscape.
When we look at the FaceReader results we can clearly see a difference in how men and women perceive these
commercials. We see that both men and women showed similar happy expressions towards the funny commercial,
however, there is a difference in the Alpha Romeo car commercial. Men still show similar expressions,
but women clearly show lower happy expressions. Thus if you want to target both a female and male demographic
it is better to create a funny commercial with a strong female protagonist. Want to find out more?
Want to see for yourself how men and women differ? Here is a Step-by-step instruction:
- 1Below, on the left under Quick Comparison, select 'compare participant groups'
- 2Select Males and Females and click Go
- 3Select the Alpha Romeo video and watch the results appear!
You can see the difference between males and females clearly highlighted in the comparison insight. You can interact with the results yourself to try out more comparisons or visualise more results.
