Founded in 2017 and led by Spencer Gerrol, CEO, Spark Neuro is a research company focused on the evaluation of audience engagement in advertising and entertainment. Instead of relying on traditional approaches, the company measures brain and nervous system activity to see exactly when people are engaged and when they are not in ads, movies, trailers and other creative content, quantifying attention and emotional levels second-by-second. The platform is used by major brands, ad agencies, TV networks, movie studios and the US Military.
Partners include, Anheuser-Busch, Barclays, Clorox, FedEx, Fidelity, General Motors, JetBlue, Hulu, Mars, NBC, Paramount, State Farm, Universal, and Walmart.
