How to empower media planners in a high-density data environment by cognitive load reduction.
We designed the BEN Insights matrix to turn raw entertainment data into clear, actionable campaign planning decisions.
As UX Designer, I reduced the cognitive load by:
• Establishing a unified visual hierarchy that normalizes disparate data sources into a single, cohesive canvas, utilizing standardized component structures and clear categorical color-coding. The interface allows planners to compare traditional product placement options right alongside dynamic digital creator metrics without experiencing cognitive fatigue.
I increased confidence and reduced the time-to-decision by:
• Translating complex, multi-layered audience clusters and algorithmic brand-affinity checks into visual information, so media buyers could confidently ensure brand alignment.
• Creating transparency to show the "why" behind the numbers presented. We designed clear data visualization states – such as interactive slider components, risk-assessment scores, and explicit audience clustering breakdowns—to visually validate the engine's predictive benchmark pricing.
• By having markers on the interface that visually reflect adjustments to updated reach predictions, the system feels responsive to immediate market changes.
