The Brand InsightsTM takes an in-depth qualitative and quantitative analysis of your brand from both your team members’ and customers’ perspectives. It uncovers data around your company’s S.W.O.T., goals, internal/external perspectives, differentiators, expectations, customer buyer’s journey, and perceived value and benefits.
With this data, marketing recommendations are tailored and created for your unique business. Letting your brand go without periodic brand audits can often lead to missed messages and opportunities when it comes to reaching and engaging your ideal customers.
What information does Brand InsightsTM offer?
SWOT Analysis: A SWOT (Strengths, Weakness, Opportunities, Threats) analysis is a tool used to help obtain a better understanding of the overall internal and external existence of your organization. Understanding the strengths and opportunities from both your team members and customers will help form targeted marketing and messaging strategies while uncovering weaknesses and threats that challenge your business to necessary change for growth.
Internal Perception Summary: Each team member has a personal perception of your company brand and deliverables and articulates this information uniquely. The Brand InsightsTM will uncover relevant trends associated with the team members’ perceptions while adding value to the overall messaging strategy.
External Perception Summary: The customer interviews and surveys shed light on perceptions of your brand and deliverables from many different viewpoints. To avoid homogenous answers, interview a diverse customer base in the qualitative research and follow with quantitative research to uncover true statistical trends.
Internal and External Perception Gaps: Qualitative and quantitative data uncovers the perception gaps that exist between your company and your customers. These gaps often cause missed expectations, confuse your audience, and hinder sales.
Company Goals: It is important that your whole team understands where the company is headed and what they are all working towards. This report will uncover if the team is aligned or not with the growth direction of the company.
Setting the Customer’s Expectations: Most businesses have about 25 seconds to either hit or miss when it comes to connecting with a new customer. The Brand InsightsTM will aid in setting clear and honest expectations and will uncover messaging and visuals strategies that will resonate with your leads and customers quickly.
Ideal Customer: Uncovering who your ideal customer is and developing a customer persona is a great way to develop marketing and messaging campaigns for the diverse consumer base your company is trying to reach. Through qualitative and quantitative research, the Brand InsightsTM process is able to identify what your ideal customers are looking for and how they articulate their pains/needs and to develop strategy directions to better connect with them as they go through their buyer’s journey.
