Make brand relevance measurable in buying situations

Discover how smart data takes your media strategies to the next level.

The challenge:

Steer mental presence strategically

Physical availability at the point of sale is not enough. Brands must be present in relevant buying moments – when decisions are made. Traditional methods for identifying Category Entry Points are laborious, time-consuming and expensive. Determining relevant buying situations through quantitative studies takes weeks and ties up considerable resources. Mediaplus has developed Purchase.AI, a solution that revolutionises this process.

The solution:

AI-powered mental availability analysis in days instead of weeks

Purchase.AI combines AI-based identification of Category Entry Points with standardised surveys. The technology automatically determines the top 15 buying situations in a category, as valid as conventional studies. In the second step, a compact survey measures brand association. The result: Precise insights into mental availability with reduced effort and accelerated implementation.

Why use Purchase.AI?

Precision through AI analysis

AI-powered identification of the top 15 Category Entry Points delivers highly relevant buying situations and needs for the respective category. The results match the accuracy of traditional studies.

Efficiency in time and costs

Purchase.AI reduces effort considerably. What traditionally takes several weeks, the tool delivers in just a few days. Costs are in the low four-figure range – significantly cheaper than conventional methods.

Standardised comparability

The uniform methodology enables reliable comparisons between brands, competitors and across different measurement points. Trends and developments become transparent.

Comprehensive KPI capture

Purchase.AI measures all relevant Mental Availability metrics: Top-of-Mind values, mental presence at Category Entry Points, association spectrum, Mental Market Share and Distinctive Assets. The target group can be narrowed down by age and gender.

Competitive comparison integrated

The tool shows at a glance where the brand stands compared to main competitors. A matrix displays which buying situations are already occupied and where strategic opportunities lie.

Action recommendations based on data

Purchase.AI delivers not just numbers, but concrete starting points: Which Category Entry Points should be strengthened? Where are gaps compared to the competition? Which assets are truly distinctive?

Purchase.AI FAQs

Purchase.AI requires just a few days to a maximum of one week for implementation. In comparison, the traditional determination of Category Entry Points alone often takes a week or longer – without the subsequent analysis.

Purchase.AI works across categories. The tool is particularly relevant for brands in highly competitive markets where mental availability is crucial for purchase decisions – such as FMCG, beverages, Quick Service Restaurants or Consumer Electronics.

The AI analysis is based on extensive training data and has been validated against traditional quantitative studies. The agreement of identified Entry Points is over 90 per cent.

Purchase.AI automates the most laborious part – identifying relevant buying situations. Validation still takes place through standardised surveys. The result: Same quality with significantly reduced effort.

Yes. Purchase.AI enables follow-up analyses at reduced costs. The standardised methodology makes comparisons between different target groups, markets or time points possible.

Customers define themselves which main competitors are relevant. Purchase.AI integrates these into the measurement and presents the results comparatively.

Purchase.AI captures brand-typical elements such as colours, logos, slogans or characteristic product features. The analysis shows which assets are truly distinctive and contribute to mental availability.

The first analysis costs €4,900, follow-up measurements €3,900. This positions Purchase.AI significantly below traditional studies with comparable validity.
