Maximizing Brand Positioning, Image, and Equity

Our experience in positioning, image, and equity research includes both brand and corporate work. Protocol's in-depth qualitative approaches and quantitative methods include uniquely effective tools: OptiCom and Brand QuestTM modeling.

OptiCom is a powerful tool to help reveal the brand benefit/positioning elements that motivate customers, that offer the greatest leverage against the competition, and that yield an optimum "bundle" of benefits to support a positioning.

Based on expert system modeling, Brand Quest is a unique research tool for brand equity and image assessment. It measures the relative strength of a brand's image and equity compared to each of the principal brands within its category. BrandQuest identifies those attributes that will uniquely increase consumer brand preference and value, and even offers the ability to simulate changes against competitors.
