Efficient message search. We design research pipelines that allow campaigns to explore the large space of potential messages more efficiently, and to quickly zero-in on the most impactful messaging strategies. Our methodology is based on a combination of large-scale adaptive online survey RCTs, Bayesian machine learning and surrogate metrics.
