ATi and SHR Create Branding Strategies With Online Solution

PHOENIX, AZ–(EMWNews – July 28, 2008) – Adaptive Technologies, Inc. (ATi), the

Intelligent Information(SM) company, has joined forces with SHR Perceptual

Management to advance SHR’s Sensory Positioning™ process to a

ground-breaking online model embedded with predictive analytic

functionality. Sensory Positioning is a proven 20-year-old methodology

used by SHR in focus group testing on behalf of many leading companies,

including

Coca-Cola, General Mills, Ford, BMW, and Volkswagen.

ATi delivers Intelligent Information in software-as-a-service (SaaS)

predictive analytic solutions, providing clients with predictable outcomes

such as which targets will respond to a brand message or who is most likely

to buy their products. The Sensory Positioning online testing environment

provides a robust and predictable understanding of consumer brand

perceptions of product designs and other marketing communication touch

points. The online testing allows clients to leverage their budgets to

access much larger sample sizes, in multiple markets in a shorter time span

as well as to include global participants. ATi adds a quantitative

validation component to the cognitive science of Sensory Positioning,

capturing respondent feedback faster and more cost effectively.

“ATi is excited to team with SHR to combine expertise in bringing to market

a revolutionary branding process that combines science and technology to

help business leaders use intelligent information to make better decisions

about their brands,” said Susan Cordts, president and CEO of Adaptive

Technologies, Inc.
