Teststrip for Agencies

Help clients make the call without muddying the work.

Present creative routes, collect focused client feedback, and leave every review with a decision record everyone can point back to.

Teststrip helps agencies turn client feedback into a decision record.

Built for packaging, brand, product, naming, and creative direction reviews.

Decision record
The tension

Built for the messy middle of creative decisions.

Every agency knows the moment. Three strong routes. A handful of reviewers. Side comments. A Slack thread. A follow-up email. A client who remembers the decision differently two weeks later.

Client feedback is part of the work. Chasing it shouldn't be. Teststrip keeps feedback tied to the routes under review and turns the final call into a shareable record.

Use cases

What agencies use Teststrip for

01

Packaging direction reviews

Compare design routes, capture client feedback, and document why one direction moves forward.

02

Brand concept reviews

Help clients respond to strategy, visuals, messaging, or identity directions without flattening the work.

03

Campaign creative reviews

Collect focused feedback on creative territories before production dollars are committed.

04

Naming and messaging decisions

Capture rationale, concerns, and tradeoffs before the team locks the direction.

05

Client alignment before final art

Make sure the decision is clear before execution, handoff, or production.

Why agencies use it

Made for the way agencies actually present work.

01

Replace scattered feedback with one focused readout.

No more chasing comments across decks, email, Slack, and meeting notes. Teststrip keeps feedback tied to the routes under review.

02

Protect the rationale behind the work.

When a route wins, the why travels with it. The final readout captures what was chosen, why it won, what was passed on, and what needs to change.

03

Make clients better reviewers.

Teststrip asks focused questions around the decision, not open-ended opinions that send the work in circles.

04

Reduce re-litigation.

When the decision is documented clearly, teams have a record to return to instead of reopening the same debate.

05

Create a professional client handoff.

The final Test Readout gives your agency a polished artifact to share after a review.

06

Build a repeatable decision workflow.

Use Teststrip across packaging, product, naming, campaign, and creative route decisions.

The agency workflow

Four steps from creative routes to final call.

  1. 01

    Add the routes

    Upload 2–6 creative directions with the context reviewers need: positioning, best for, watchouts, and the decision ask.

  2. 02

    Invite reviewers

    Send one focused review link to clients, invited reviewers, or internal decision owners.

  3. 03

    Read the signal

    See which route is leading, why reviewers chose it, where concerns are showing up, and what needs to change.

  4. 04

    Share the final readout

    Generate a decision record that captures the final call, rationale, risks, required changes, and next steps.

The output

The output your client actually needs.

Every Teststrip ends with a Test Readout — the receipt for the creative decision.

Summit Snacks · Q3 Packaging

Reviewer signal

9 of 12 reviewers picked Route B. Strongest read of clean energy.

Why the route won

Cleanest shelf read at 6ft. Held up best with the 25–34 urban segment.

Feedback themes

Outdoor heritage cues land. Type hierarchy needs work. Color system is the standout.

What was passed on

Route A — too quiet at distance. Route C — off-brand warmth.

Risks accepted

Mountain motif overlaps two competitors. Mitigated via type treatment.

Required changes

Increase logo lockup by 12%. Adjust gradient for 4-color print.

Next steps

Hand off to production Mon. Sampling round by Sep 5.

Agency pilot

Start with one guided agency test.

We are opening a limited number of agency pilots for teams running active packaging, product, brand, or creative direction reviews.

We help set up the first test, organize the routes, shape the questions, collect reviewer feedback, and deliver the final decision record.

After your first guided test, your team can run additional rooms on your own or book guided support when needed.
