Performance Strategy Pilot

From Business Challenge to Measurable Media Outcomes

Most media strategies get evaluated on how they look, not on the outcomes they drive. Barkai changes that.

The Barkai Performance Strategy Pilot is a structured 6 to 8 week engagement for direct advertisers and mid-market brands with active media budgets and a clear business challenge. It produces a complete Barkai-generated media strategy, supports its activation with discipline, and delivers a full performance readout against your defined benchmarks.

The goal is not to impress you with a plan. The goal is to prove the plan drives better outcomes.

Barkai.AI is an AI media planning platform that transforms marketing briefs into complete strategic media plans, measurable media investment decisions, and activation-ready outputs designed to drive better campaign outcomes.

What the Pilot Includes

01

Phase 1: Strategy

Barkai ingests your business challenge, brief, audience, market context, budget, and performance history.

  • Strategic diagnosis
  • Audience intelligence grounded in GWI data across 53 markets
  • Channel strategy
  • Budget recommendation
  • Messaging architecture
  • KPI framework
  • Activation roadmap
  • Measurement plan
02

Phase 2: Activation Support

Barkai helps ensure the strategy gets executed with discipline, through your existing agency, through trusted activation partners, or through your internal team. Barkai stays involved to ensure the plan is not poorly translated into execution.

03

Phase 3: Performance Readout

At the end of the pilot, Barkai delivers a full performance analysis, what happened, what worked, what underperformed, what Barkai recommended versus what changed during activation, and what should happen next. This becomes the foundation for an annual relationship.
