How Hometown Hero Created Visual Variants for Campaign Testing Fast

About the Client

Hometown Hero, a premium consumer goods brand, aimed to refine its marketing strategy by testing multiple visual styles and formats across its campaigns. The challenge was producing a variety of high-quality visuals quickly enough to support A/B testing and optimize consumer engagement. Traditional methods of creating visual variants were time-consuming, costly, and not scalable for frequent campaign iterations.

Objectives

Visual Variants

Produce a wide range of visual variants for A/B testing.

Consumer Engagement

Increase consumer engagement by identifying the most effective visuals.

Imagery Standards

Maintain high-quality standards across all campaign imagery.

Challenges

Launch of a New Campaign Under Tight Deadlines

Hometown Hero needed to quickly produce 3 distinct visuals for A/B testing to identify which creative direction would resonate best with their target audience. With limited time and resources, achieving high-quality, impactful visuals at speed was a critical hurdle.

Need for Rapid Visual Production

Traditional photoshoots could not keep up with the brand’s need for frequent and diverse visual variants. 

Lack of Insights into Audience Preferences

Without diverse imagery to test, it was challenging to determine what styles resonated most effectively with target audiences.

Consistency in Brand Identity

Ensuring that varied visuals aligned with the brand’s premium and cohesive aesthetic across all campaigns.
