Design Effectiveness Audit

See What Your Customers See

Take an informed look inside the mind of the shopper

What if you could see your brand the way your customers do?

Because every packaging choice, label, ad, or shelf display tells a story, often unconsciously. But is it the right one? Our behavioural audits uncover the hidden barriers to conversion and the invisible drivers of attention.

You work hard to craft your brand. But what if something subtle is standing in its way?

It’s frustrating: you’ve invested in top design, compelling copy, and strategic placement, yet it’s not converting like it should. We get it. Often, the issue isn’t obvious. It's behavioural. Is the pack hard to navigate? Are the claims unclear? Is the eye drawn to the wrong place?

That’s where we come in, with audits designed to reflect how real people actually experience your communications.

Adding psychology to design, drives brand performance

Brands thought they had a design problem.

They actually had a human behaviour problem.

One of the UK’s most iconic food brands approached us after a packaging refresh caused sales to stall.

Consumers were confused, what changed?

We ran a behavioural design effectiveness audit, uncovering tiny visual shifts that could transform shopper perceptions.

The solution wasn’t a full redesign.

It was a scientifically informed tweak. Sales increased double-digit within weeks.

Applying Behavioural Science

Audits that turn design from a guess into a science.

It’s not just about aesthetics. It’s about behaviour. At Adcock Solutions, we use behavioural science to decode the real-world effectiveness of your creative work. Our Design Effectiveness Audits assess how your design performs in context, with a focus on 4 areas:

Attention Mapping:

What do people notice, and in what order?

Cognitive Load:

Is the messaging clear or overwhelming?

Decision Flow:

Does the design make it easy to act?

Emotional Engagement:

How does the design feel to the brain?
