“2020 reminded us how critical it is to understand human emotions, and how they can change almost instantaneously”

In February 2020, the Persado Content Intelligence and Data Science teams began training its AI to understand the context of the evolving pandemic, its impact on language, and how brands needed to evolve their messaging. Through an extensive language audit, Persado’s development team identified both positive and negative patterns emerging as a result of the pandemic. These patterns evolved into the creation of the Mindful Narrative, a deep understanding of the current situation that allows brands to achieve the perfect balance between setting the right, context-sensitive tone, and still getting maximum value out of their communications.

“2020 reminded us how critical it is to understand human emotions, and how they can change almost instantaneously,” said Alex Vratskides, CEO of Persado. “As brands were looking to shift to more emphatic, supportive messages in response to COVID-19, Persado’s Mindful Narrative helped map those changes. And Persado’s AI platform enabled our customers to deliver true personalization across their full range of communications.”

Vratskides continues, “Of course, the Mindful Narrative is only part of the world-changing idea we are founded on and what our technology is built to do—that is deliver the right language for every person. Consumer sentiment and emotions will only continue to evolve and language preferences shift, and Persado’s AI content generation and decisioning platform provides the agility that data-driven, customer-centric companies are seeking to drive their personalization, customer experience, and growth agendas.”
