What’s the common thread that runs through your data?
We are a brand & analytics consultancy focused on translating market insights into value for organizations.
In today’s connected world, the sheer amount of data is overwhelming. To be successful, it is no longer sufficient to gather quality insights on your customers. What is needed is the ability to navigate amidst market complexity and noise. It is about extracting what really matters and communicating it in a way that is clear and compelling. It is with the support of such a foundation that strategies achieve results.
The cleverest solution falls short if it does not reach across the different layers of the organization. “Where do we go from here? How do we get there?” require simple, clear and convincing answers that live in the organization and withstand the test of time.
At ClearVantage, with the support of a variety of research platforms and methodologies, we connect the dots. Through focus and discipline, we help our clients move their business forward. We also understand “one size fits all”, does not work. Each organization has its own rhythm and processes: we offer you the flexibility and the ability to adapt to your organization’s evolving needs.
In today’s world, it is not sufficient to build a strong brand for your customers; how a company represents itself in the eyes of all its stakeholder community has an equally critical role in delivering sustainable value. We measure the strategic role of Brand and Reputation and their respective levers of value creation. While programs for Brand and Corporate Reputation are independent, we recognize their essential interdependency.
When nurturing a complex brand portfolio, today’s shrinking budgets can lead to spreading available dollars thinly across many sub-brands, hoping that some will flourish. Our analytical approach determines where the equities reside within the portfolio; by identifying which areas to disinvest we arrive to an optimal solution where each sub-brand truly fulfills its role in creating demand.
The first step in a successful strategy definition is a deep understanding of your audience. Too often an organization does not invest sufficiently in understanding the target audience, what makes the product or service relevant, or when the desired positioning is not sufficiently differentiated. Our approach focuses on addressing the critical questions leveraging a variety of methodologies best suited for the task.
Whether it is the launch of a new brand or of a new product strategy, we support you with a roadmap that secure an effective roll-out.
