What is Ad Testing?

Advertising research, often referred to as ad testing, aims to determine an ad’s effectiveness based on consumer responses, feedback, and behavior. This can be done on a piece-by-piece basis, or it can be done with periodic or continuous in-market research that monitors the performance of a campaign over time.
