Unanimous AI teams up with Leading Agency to Predict Which Companies Will Win the Super Bowl

SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 2, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Unanimous AI created Swarm, the worlds first AI platform that amplifies the intelligence of business teams. This breakthrough technology has been used to improve diagnostic accuracy, financial market forecasting, and provide insight into a wide variety of complex problems. In 2018, Unanimous correctly forecasted the Doritos/Mt. Dew collaboration featuring Peter Dinklage and Morgan Freeman to win Super Bowl Sunday as "Most Talked About" advertisement.

In the run-up to Super Bowl LIII, Unanimous AI used its award winning Swarm platform to harness the combined intelligence of a lead agency and more than 100 strategists across North America to produce an AI-optimized forecast for the potential effectiveness of the 2019 Super Bowl commercials.

Out of the analyzed commercials, the study predicted Expensify, Pringles and Doritos to be some of the most talked-about Super Bowl ads for 2019.

Modeled after swarms in nature, Swarm technology combines the wisdom, intuition and intelligence of human populations with AI algorithms to create optimized insights. Unanimous AI delivers these insights to Fortune 500 companies for a range of applications, from forecasting sales to optimizing marketing campaigns.

For the Super Bowl advertising study, researchers used a special framework inspired by Northwestern University's Kellogg School of Management ADPLAN rating system. The system was used to compare the effectiveness of advertisements that will be shown during the Super Bowl,assessing them on six criteria (attention, distinction, positioning, linkage, amplification and net equity) to determine their overall success.

The iterative process of ranking and sorting the advertisements culminated in a showdown between the Doritos "#NowItsHot" and Pringles "Sad Device" 30-second spots. In the end, the Doritos collaboration between Chance the Rapper and the Backstreet Boys was given the highest grade of the day, and deemed the most likely to generate post-game "buzz."

"Swarm from Unanimous AI is the kind of tool marketers didn't know they needed until they used it," said one user. "After watching nearly 10 different Super Bowl ads, I was surprised over and over again by the results of the swarm. Tons of different use cases came to mind where Swarm AI technology would be beneficial, providing interesting insight into pressing questions. I'm curious to see how our group's results measure up to the outcome on Sunday. Will our vast knowledge of the industry align with the unbiased opinions of the general public? We will have to wait and see."

"We've seen our technology generate remarkable insight into complex problems of all kinds, but there's no bigger stage than the Super Bowl, and no more important day for advertisers than Super Bowl Sunday," said Dr. Louis Rosenberg, CEO of Unanimous AI. "It's exciting to have some of the brightest minds in the field get together inside the Swarm platform to generate optimized forecasts about which of these ads will emerge victorious."
