understanding the brand position of a major consumer service
Challenge
Our client had a unique challenge in its branding. Although consumers were aware of the organization and its services, they didn't necessarily make a strong connection between them. The Strategic Counsel was asked to develop a research plan that would clearly pinpoint how consumers perceived and related to the client's brand.

Strategy
Qualitative research is often brought to bear on issues relating to brand perceptions. We designed specialized techniques to capture the core functional, emotional and personality attributes associated with the brand. These techniques were applied in a series of focus groups in five locations across Canada with consumers age 16 to 65.

Results
This research provided clear guidance to consumer perceptions of the brand. The client's advertising agency used the research to develop and test new positioning statements, and subsequently created advertising and communications campaigns that successfully addressed the client's branding challenge.
