WHY BRAND DENSITY
GAP IN CURRENT BRAND TOOLKIT
Most brands and marketers do not know, at scale, how the customer views and defines their brand in the real world. Most either know this from in-depth qualitative efforts, which are not scalable, or from tracking studies that pre-determine what the brand wants to stand for.
ACADEMIC RESEARCH-BASED
Brand Density is rooted in cognitive theory, brain research, the Spreading Activation Theory and thought-leading brand theory from Ehrenberg-Bass Institute.
TESTED AND PROVEN
Academic studies indicate that Brand Density is strongly correlated to market share.
CLARITY FOR MARKETERS AND BRANDS
Brand Density enables a marketer to determine which strategies and tactics will strengthen the density of their brand in the mind of the consumer. Higher density means higher purchase consideration and a larger market share.
