About goahead

goahead is a brand and advertising research platform for testing creative work with a target audience before launch. Users upload variants of packaging, logos, campaigns, names, book covers, video thumbnails, game art, product images or web designs, and the platform identifies which variant participants prefer.

Targeting can be set by attributes such as age, location, gender and education, and goahead matches relevant participants around the clock, so results arrive in hours rather than weeks. Surveys can include short text, multiple choice or dropdown questions for qualitative feedback, and users can also invite their own participants such as colleagues, mentors or clients. Automated reports can be sent to stakeholders or exported as PDFs, and results are framed around statistical significance.

The platform states that submission data respects GDPR and CCPA, surveys can be anonymous or self-destructive, and data in transit is encrypted. It is aimed at teams in advertising, public relations, film and media, gaming, eCommerce, publishing, architecture and fashion.
