McKinney Deploys Proprietary AI Tool for Gauging Brand Attention

McKinney has introduced BrandAI, an innovative AI-powered tool designed to help clients understand the full scope of attention their brands receive in the marketplace. Positioned as a comprehensive measure of brand engagement, BrandAI empowers clients to assess how well their brands resonate in a competitive landscape that values not just visibility but meaningful connections with consumers. At the heart of this approach is McKinney's unique Brand Attention Index, which evaluates a brand's market attention across three critical dimensions:

1. Affinity: Gauges brand presence — is the brand on people’s minds?
2. Intensity: Measures brand loyalty — are consumers choosing it above others?
3. Momentum: Assesses brand buzz — is there excitement surrounding the brand that spills over beyond its category?

Traditionally, this level of analysis required extensive human research over weeks, but BrandAI now streamlines this process. By synthesizing diverse consumer behavior, perception, and market data through advanced algorithms, the tool delivers actionable insights in seconds.

Jasmine Dadlani, McKinney's Chief Strategy Officer, emphasizes a shift in perspective: “Attention isn’t just about the number of eyes on an ad. True brand attention is built when people feel deeply connected, invested, and engaged with a brand.” CEO Joe Maglio highlights how BrandAI has been transformative: “This tool, along with our strategic approach, enables us to bring clients deeper insights on brand impact and help them navigate real-time decisions more effectively.”
