Just over eight years ago, he founded neuromarketing consultancy firm Alpha.One.

It will give good, insightful answers to valid scientific research questions.

But it wont tell you whether somethings good or bad.

This pushed the team to go one step further and Junbi.ai was born.

Neuroscience at the push of a button

Junbi.ai is a platform for pre-testing and benchmarking YouTube ads.

Lets be real, marketers need a traffic light indicator that answers one simple question does my ad suck?

laughs Van der Wiele, and Junbi.ai strives to provide it.

Its neuroscience at the push of a button and a fraction of the cost.
