    Affinnova Concept Studio - Affinnova, Inc.

    Affinnova Concept Studio is a web-based application that accelerates concept collaboration and development for new products, designs and ad campaigns. This SaaS application helps marketing teams create concepts by capturing and managing ideas in a shared visual workspace. It allows users to easily create an “innovation space” for a vast range of potential marketing concepts, including branding, positioning, imagery, benefits, messaging and packaging.

    Concept Studio supports divergent collaboration, encouraging users to submit a wide variety of alternative ideas. While many innovation systems prematurely drive teams towards consensus, the Affinnova innovation platform leverages the divergent ideas that are more likely to produce genuine breakthroughs. Users can share concepts in real time to cast a wide net for ideas, even inviting outside vendors, such as advertising agencies or consultants, to collaborate.

    Concept Studio is the new front end to the Affinnova innovation platform and is seamlessly compatible with Affinnova’s evolutionary optimization. Rather than select a few concepts to test, the marketing team can get consumer reaction to concepts from throughout the innovation space, using this feedback to rapidly find the top concepts with the greatest appeal. Evolutionary optimization triples the likelihood of outscoring the leading competitor.
