Winter Campaign

Understanding European Consumers to Power a Winter Campaign

A global lifestyle brand wanted to deeply understand the home life and emotional needs of winter consumers — and translate that understanding into a campaign that would actually resonate. Insights labs recruited target participants through AI, then deployed AI Moderator to conduct customized interviews in German, French, and English. The result: authentic user stories and emotions, distilled directly into the visual direction, key messaging, and copy the brand needed for their winter campaign.

Multilingual AI interviews

Conducts interviews in German, French, English, and more — capturing what users genuinely think and feel in their own language and cultural context, without the distortion of translation

Insights that go straight to creative

User emotions and scenes captured in interviews are translated directly into brand-ready visual references, keywords, and copy directions — closing the gap between research and creative production

Recruiting that matches your audience

AI recruiting targets the exact respondent profiles you specify, so every insight comes from your real audience — not a generic sample

Client

” For the first time, we actually understood what European users were saying — not just the words, but the emotional undercurrent beneath the culture. Those insights directly shaped the visual and copy direction of our winter campaign. “

Case 02|New Product Innovation

How a Global Consumer Electronics Brand Validated Its Next Product

AI Moderator runs the entire interview process autonomously. Participants engage naturally, by voice or text, at any time. The system captures feedback in real time and auto-generates structured insight reports — giving product teams a direct line to what North American users actually want.

Solving High No-Show

How a Series A AI Startup Finally Heard From Its Users

A Series A AI startup in video generation was struggling to get reliable user research done. With traditional interview methods, 40–50% of recruited participants never showed up — scheduling conflicts, forgotten calendar invites, life getting in the way.


The data gaps were real, and the product questions were piling up. Insights labs deployed AI Moderator to change the dynamic entirely: no scheduling, no fixed time slot, no no-shows. Participants complete interviews whenever it works for them, at their own pace.


The startup finally got complete, high-quality feedback from its existing users — and a clear view of where the product needed to go.

The shift

From asking users to fit research into their schedule, to making research fit into their life

03

Real-time insight delivery

04

Structured insights that drive decisions

By eliminating the no-show bottleneck, the client collected complete user feedback for the first time — gaining a clear understanding of why users were dropping off and what changes would have the most impact.
