Proving the critics wrong: Jaguar's pivot towards a bold new identity may be a success in the making. Swayable dove deep into understanding the impact of JLR’s recent rebrand on consumers. Here’s what we found: ✅ Jaguar held steady favorability and appeal among high-income target audiences across key age groups, representing a clear win for the new branding. ✅ Jaguar's rebrand avoided significant negative reactions among consumers, sidestepping common challenges associated with bold new rebrands. Despite the near-universal critique in the media, our data shows that Jaguar’s rebrand may be a watershed moment for the 100-year-classic car company’s future and sheds light on the fact that sometimes, the dominant narrative is not always the entire story.

What if your campaign results could improve by 10x? At {{linkedin_mention(urn:li:organization:279566|Advertising Week)}} New York, {{linkedin_mention(urn:li:organization:27189222|Swayable)}}'s {{linkedin_mention(urn:li:person:mwjnJylYkR|James Slezak)}} and {{linkedin_mention(urn:li:organization:2943312|The Drum)}}’s Associate Editor {{linkedin_mention(urn:li:person:W2X0POggrD|Kendra Barnett)}} shared how rapid iteration can transform campaign performance. In one standout example from the last election cycle, a PAC ditched traditional TV campaigns for quick, social-first content. By testing and refining creative weekly, they identified what resonated, doubled down on top performers, and eliminated what didn’t work. After five rounds, they achieved a 10x lift in campaign impact. The takeaway? When you measure, adapt, and iterate, magic happens. Check out our key takeaways below to learn more.

Stakes are at an all-time high this election season, but as GROUND's latest "Stories That Win" research shows, even slight shifts in support or enthusiasm among key demographics can tip the balance. Here’s what our findings reveal: 1️⃣ Optimism beats fear – Ads with a hopeful, future-focused tone resonate powerfully. Harris’s “Turn the Page” ad, promoting unity and progress, outperforming messages centered on fear. 2️⃣ Strategic targeting beats broad persuasion – While broad audience persuasion is tough in a polarized climate, targeting select groups is achievable (and very effective, according to our data) 3️⃣ Every vote has an impact – Small increases among segments like women and Gen Z, or minor decreases in Trump’s favorability, could sway outcomes in battleground states. Check out the research, powered by Swayable’s RCT technology, to learn which ads had the most impact on voter enthusiasm. P.S.
