A brands positioning is the sum of both actual and perceptual factors that are stored in consumers memory. To fully leverage the benefits of a favorable and unique brand equity we need to undestand these rational and emotional factors, how much they matter and how they vary between different stakeholders. The brandr index helps you do exactly that.

Yes you can. A core component of the brandr index is to contextualize your data by providing reference point that are relevant to your brand, such as lowest, average and highest scores.

The currently available benchmarking data varies based on industries and geographical markets. Contact our sales advisors to get a benchmark tailor to your needs.

Benchmarking

The NPS is a single metric that was designed to predict the growth of businesses. It has since been used for various purposes, to measure loyalty towards brands, customer satifaction, trust, or the performance of individual products. The brandr index on the other hand is a multi dimensional model that measures positioning and gives unique insights into HOW your brand is performing and WHY its performing in that way.

Customer satisfaction surveys are an important tool for most businesses and can be used for brands as a whole, speific business units, products or services. They are however limited to measuring satisfaction and its related attributes, rather than other important positioning factors such as a brands appeal, customers emotional investment with a brand or the brands perceived uniqueness.

Awarness studies such as Relevance, SoV and TOM can be both important and useful to measure. The insights from those differ from the ones you gain with the index. Insights from the index give a deeper understanding of where strengts and weaknesses lie, the extent of them and to whom they are relevant.
