Brand research companiesBrand research is useful to understand target audience needs, assess brand associations, and identify brand-driven growth opportunities.

Which research method to use — for brand positioning, brand extension, brand awareness, or brand tracking research — should be rooted in brand strategy development.

As a top-tier brand strategy firm, we are experts in conducting and then applying, brand market research to strengthen brands and increase brand loyalty.

Here are common brand strategy issues addressed using targeted research, as part of our broader brand consulting services:

Brand strategy research questions

  • How do customers use products and brands today? What benefits do they seek and how satisfied are they with the brand?

  • What is the strength of the brand in terms of brand awareness, brand imagery and brand equity?

  • Which brand strategy concepts (such as brand positioning, brand names, brand identity elements) are the strongest performing? Which are most relevant, differentiated and credible for the brand to adopt?

  • Does the brand have latitude to extend into new markets and new products? Which are the most compelling brand extension opportunities?
