Embed an organisation-wide culture of evidence-based management practices. Conducting research to develop an evidence-based growth narrative – case for change – based on diagnostics (Category Growth and Laws of Growth patterns) using your data across several markets and categories, taking into account knowledge audits.
The project encompasses several critical components aimed at fostering an evidence-based culture within the organisation to enhance brand and category growth.
Our marketing scientists will analyse your data (e.g. standard panel data) to document the fundamental laws-of-growth patterns, and highlight any meaningful deviations that may exist.
Based on this research, we will tailor recommendations outlining the key steps you should take for profitable brand growth (e.g. identify opportunities for incremental penetration).
Distinctive assets play an important role in building a brand’s Mental and Physical Availability. These elements need to be developed and protected over the long-term and not left to chance or intuition.
Our empirically validated approach can assess the strength of your distinctive assets and advise on the opportunities and threats for building a strong long-term brand identity.
Category Entry Points (CEPs) are the building blocks of Mental Availability. This two-stage project identifies CEPs for your category, benchmarks your brand’s current performance and identifies priority CEPs to develop for the short and long term.
The Ehrenberg-Bass Institute has pioneered new research into how industries grow and how to drive that growth under different conditions. This research has provided norms and expectations for what to expect from category growth (‘the odds’ of growth) and strategies to grow categories under different conditions.
Measuring and tracking key brand metrics is crucial. However, many companies are reporting the wrong brand health metrics or using tracking instruments based on flawed research. Our experts will review your brand metrics dashboard and current tools and provide evidence-based recommendations for improvements.
Media decision making is an increasingly complicated task. Now more than ever, grounding decisions in the evidence is vital. Evidence-based media decision making ensures advertisers are talking to the right audience, exposing that audience to communication when and where it matters most for brand growth.
Our Media Planning Review will help ensure your media decisions are aligned with the evidence.
The key condition for an organisation to build and harness the evidence-based culture is to unify behind a set of evidence-based beliefs. The desired state is that the beliefs are institutional, aligned behind an approach that is more likely to grow your brands.
This project investigates how well those beliefs are institutionalised in fundamental areas related to growth. It also considers the alignment on key business challenges amongst those interviewed.
Exclusively available to Ehrenberg-Bass Sponsor companies.
