Positioning Research

A crystal-clear positioning is needed in order to create the most relevance in the eyes of the right target group at the right moment. It means you need to make choices regarding what your brand means to consumers. Positioning research is used to determine what makes your brand unique and distinctive. The research does not just describe the current state of affairs, but also reveals future possibilities.

Positioning research will help you to pick your distinctive assets, recognisable elements of your brands image that are different from your competitors.

The set-up

To understand the meaning of brands on a deeper level we use implicit and projective research technique to elicit brand associations. These are then quantified in quantitative research.

Timing and investment

The investment depends on the amount of pre-existing knowledge that is already there and the amount of brands to be included. It starts at €10.000 for a basic set-up which will take around 5 weeks to complete. Ask us for a ball park or a full proposal using the button below.
