    The objective

    A broadcast network had three rough promos for a film about unconscious racial bias in the United States and time to revise the edits.

    The research design

    Three groups of potential viewers each saw one rough cut in an online monadic survey. Measures covered takeaway, watch intent, liking, motivation, uniqueness, and effects on the network and its CPG sponsor.

    The outcome

    The network corrected a tonal issue in one cut and added an element from another spot to additional ads.
