Proposition development.
Find the reason to believe behind your brand and what it offers.
Determine and differentiate the emotional benefits that consumers see behind your product and services to help you create a genuine connection between your brand and your customers.
Our value proposition research helps you understand the consumer perspective. Through a range of qualitative and quantitative techniques, we can explore and play back the different benefits your product has and how these ladder up to meeting the emotional needs of consumers.
By connecting the rational and physical features of your product or service with the emotional needs of consumers we can create a stronger, deeper platform from which to market your brand.
Using qualitative research to understand the consumer’s world, contextualise your brand in their lives and determine the key needs they have; combined with quantitative research to validate, size and add robust metrics to these findings – we can deliver a strong value proposition that acts as the cornerstone of future comms and marketing strategies.
