MarketPoint: What's your point of distinction?
 

Brand Services

Where is your brand today?

We live in a changing marketplace. Consumer perceptions are ever-changing as well. Consequently, we must assess and refresh our brands.

A brand audit provides an opportunity to evaluate the strength of your brand, to underscore the value of your brand with customers, and to reposition the brand, if necessary, to reflect changes in the marketplace. What’s more, it helps you and your staff recommit to the vision and goals of the business. Finally, it ensures accurate application of your brand across the organization.

We evaluate your brand from both internal and external perspectives, identifying the gaps between what you want your brand to represent and how your customers perceive your brand in the marketplace.

Internal Brand Audit

We evaluate existing marketing strategies, materials, media and communications. We engage with key management to obtain internal perceptions of your brand and how the company competes in the market. We interview employees across multiple levels of your organization to assess differences in internal brand perceptions. And, we review your most current existing customer and market research, including customer satisfaction surveys.

External Brand Audit

Based on the outcome of the internal brand audit, we conduct an assessment of external audiences and their brand perceptions. Depending on your company’s existing and/or ongoing research studies, our team develops a market research program that may include any number of the following types of external studies: existing customer brand perception, research on a competitive set, and prospective customer attitudes and perceptions.

Questions answered during a Brand Audit:

  1. What is your current positioning?
  2. What do you WANT your brand to mean?
  3. How well is your brand being communicated today?
  4. How do your people support your brand?
  5. What is your perceived niche in the marketplace?
  6. Who is your competition? How do they brand themselves?
  7. How do your customers “see” you? How do they see your competitors?
