Brand Analysis

Our brand analysis processes are focused on identifying and addressing problem areas in neglected brands and bringing them back up to speed to be strategically aligned with the business.

COG Strategy perform brand reviews which are basically health checks of the brand at a high level. Our clients brands are living entities that evolve, expand and contract. At business start-up the brand is a shining representation of hope and dreams, showing promise and holding much expectation. This eventually plateaus with time and what is then needed is what we call a Brand Analysis.

Our strategy agency in Sydney pursues strength in brand for our clients. We know a well managed and automated brand is profitable and with constant management of brand equity it directly increases company value. We deliver Brand Reviews and brand analysis to monitor the cycle of business and the measurable brand equity within. Ideally our process keep our clients switched on that keeps the brand snap fresh, on-point and relevant to it’s audience.

The COG Strategy Brand Analysis process begins with an extensive examination of brand market position, how it stacks up against its competitors and how effective the brand is at a high level. Ideally we need to assess how strong the brand is, where its fragmented and where it’s weak points are before we can adjust and understand where the opportunities are which the brand is not currently taking advantage of.

It’s pretty easily explained why our clients do a COG Strategy Brand Analysis. Basically, a well managed and optimised brand delivers more equity to the business than a busted one, thus this will positively effect the bottom line over time.

The down side is that a strong and empowered brand can be a bull in a China shop if there isn’t adequate panning and management in place. We often see that with our brand analysis projects we deliver to our clients.
