Version B lost 44% of viewers in the first 5 seconds

The public safety opening did not create an emotional hook fast enough. Crime statistics read as abstract before the viewer had a reason to care. Consider moving the human consequence earlier, or testing a revised opening that personalizes the threat before citing the statistic.

Political Ad Test Summary

89 opt-in viewer reactions captured across 6 geographic segments

Peak reaction at 0:06 (stat reveal): 77 of 89 viewers showed visible emotional response
Version A dominant in all four swing and competitive segments
Urban core near parity: recommend separate creative test for targeted urban digital
Version B opening ineffective: 44% viewer loss in first 5 seconds across all regions
Recommendation: Allocate broadcast, CTV, and digital media weight to Version A statewide. Commission a revised Version B with personalized human consequence before the crime statistic. Retest Version B urban-only before ruling out public safety message entirely.
