NeuroInsight

What NeuroInsight does

Neuro-Insight is a private neuromarketing company founded by Professor Emeritus Richard Silberstein (Chief Scientist and Board Chairman) and led operationally by Pranav Yadav as CEO of Neuro-Insight US Inc. The firm's core product is its patented Steady State Topography (SST) technology, an EEG-based methodology that measures brain electrical activity at the executive decision-making layer to predict what is being encoded into long-term memory in real time. The methodology has been validated against independent econometric models across 15 campaigns and 4 years, establishing an 86% correlation to in-market sales — materially higher than facial coding (9%), biometrics (27%), eye tracking (27%), or conventional EEG (62%).

The company monetizes through three channels: (1) bespoke Advisory engagements with brands and agencies for neuromarketing research; (2) Neuro-Accelerate, a self-serve subscription platform with Lite, Standard, and Hub tiers that delivers creative testing reports on a Monday-to-Friday cycle; and (3) Creative Intelligence, a recurring data and predictive layer built on a database of over 25,753 ads tested across 30+ countries. Adjacent practices include The Good Lab (Neuro) for sensitive societal communications and The Missing Layer research initiative. Neuro-Insight operates three permanent offices in New York, London, and Melbourne, and its named client base spans Google, Mastercard, Bloomberg, Amazon, Coca-Cola, PepsiCo, Diageo, Samsung, Nestlé, Unilever, LinkedIn, Spotify, Pandora, ANZ Bank, and the United Nations.

Neuro-Insight is structured as a founder-led private company with no disclosed external funding rounds, parent company, or institutional investors. The firm's value proposition rests on combining 16 years of consistent methodology, a uniquely large longitudinal neural database, and credentialed scientific leadership — positioning the company as a premium enterprise research provider and, increasingly, as a foundational data layer for AI systems that lack access to subconscious decision-making signals.

Regional players

• Talon (formerly SharpEnd / Neuro-Insight-adjacent Out-of-Home measurement): Out-of-home (OOH) media specialist agency that has commissioned and used Neuro-Insight-type neuro studies to prove OOH creative effectiveness. Included as a regional/adjacent peer representing the OOH segment where Neuro-Insight has done dedicated work (e.g., QMS study showing 38% higher impact from evolving creatives), illustrating how Neuro-Insight's outputs feed into specialist OOH strategy.

Broad incumbents

• Ipsos: Multinational research firm offering quantitative, qualitative, and neuromarketing methods (e.g., ipsos ASI neuro offerings) to brand marketers. Overlaps directly with Neuro-Insight's advisory work for brand and agency clients across global markets.
• Kantar (Millward Brown): Global ad-research and brand-equity measurement incumbent whose Link and AdReaction solutions include neuro and implicit-methodology pre-testing. Regularly competes with Neuro-Insight for major advertiser pre-launch creative testing RFPs through its neuroscience and copy-testing practices.
• Nielsen Consumer Neuroscience: Nielsen's consumer-neuroscience division offers EEG and biometrics-based ad effectiveness solutions as part of its broader media-measurement portfolio. It directly overlaps with Neuro-Insight's neuromarketing methodology and competes for the same enterprise advertiser RFPs, while offering a much broader analytics ecosystem.

Emerging players

• Tobii: Global leader in eye-tracking hardware and analytics for advertising, UX, and research. Competes for the attention-measurement portion of ad-effectiveness budgets and is often used alongside or instead of EEG-based approaches such as Neuro-Insight's SST.
• CoolTool: Neuromarketing platform combining implicit response, eye tracking, and self-report for ad pre-testing. Offers a comparable self-serve-style testing product to Neuro-Insight's Neuro-Accelerate and serves the same mid-market and agency buyer profile.
• iMotions: Biosensor-research platform combining EEG, eye tracking, GSR, and facial coding for academic and commercial research. Sells tools to neuro-research teams including neuromarketing agencies, and supports SST-style multi-modal measurement, making it a platform-layer peer rather than a direct competitor for end-brand deliverables.

Direct peers

• System1 (formerly BrainJuicer): Direct competitor in applied neuromarketing and advertising-effectiveness research. System1's 'Star Rating' emotional benchmark uses implicit measurement methodologies (including facial coding and implicit response) on consumer creatives, directly competing for the same brand and agency budgets Neuro-Insight serves.
• Realeyes: Computer-vision-based emotion-measurement platform used by brands and agencies to optimize video creative. Sells a self-serve attention-and-emotion measurement subscription similar to Neuro-Accelerate, targeting the same ad-effectiveness buyer and overlapping heavily with Neuro-Insight's SST-based value proposition.
• Affectiva (a Smart Eye company): Pioneer in facial coding and emotion AI for advertising research, now part of automotive-grade vision specialist Smart Eye. Competes with Neuro-Insight's EEG approach via facial-expression analysis for attention and emotion measurement in ad testing.
