Two New Research Tools Help Clients Build Their Brands
Ipsos Marketing Launches New Brand Research Products to Strengthen and Extend Brands.
New York, NY – Marketers and Brand Managers are set to benefit from two new brand research tools just launched by Ipsos Marketing. PERCEPTOR®Plus and BRANDStretch are the latest offerings from Ipsos’ global marketing research specialization.
PERCEPTORPlus advises consumer product companies on how to optimize consumer share of choice and increase loyalty to their brands. The new tool uses a dynamic, predictive model that considers all aspects of a brand’s composition: functional properties; brand image; emotional needs served; and personality. It also assesses the brand’s value by taking into account the importance of price to predict brand choice.
BRANDStretch helps consumer product companies identify categories that represent the best opportunities for extending their brands. The tool answers critical questions about the brand, its place in the market, the potential opportunities for extending into new categories and addressing new needs, and the impact that extension would have on the brand.
"Brands behave similar to living beings, so it is important for Marketers to understand what feeds the brand, what growth potential it has, and how consumers will interact with it," says Lauren Demar, CEO of Ipsos Marketing, Consumer Goods. "These two new products enable Marketers to nourish and grow their brands. PERCEPTORPlus takes a holistic view of the brand’s essence—its body and soul—and BRANDStretch examines opportunities to give a brand new life in different categories. Knowing how and where a brand can grow will allow it to thrive and succeed."
Sunando Das (Vice President, Global Product Center) and Curt Stenger (Senior Vice President) of Ipsos Marketing, Consumer Goods were heavily involved in the development of these new offerings. According to Das, “Our clients are committed to their brands and need the latest and most relevant information to keep those brands flourishing. Ipsos Marketing is equally committed to that task. By developing innovative products such a PERCEPTORPlus and BRANDStretch, we continue to meet those needs and provide our clients with information that is fresh, insightful, and actionable.”
