A Brand's Success and Failure Lies in Finding its 'Why,' Says Civicom in GreenBook GRIT Report
Greenwich, CT USA (PRWEB) January 18, 2017 -- The GRIT report, deemed the most comprehensive survey in the market research industry, has just been released in its latest edition by GreenBook, covering industry trends during Q3 and Q4 of 2016. This leading industry report is an invaluable guide and a strategic tool for stakeholders in the market research industry, with the latest release focusing on “emerging methods and technology, trends impacting corporate researchers, and financial forecasting.” Civicom has just recently participated as a panel expert alongside other influencers discussing the findings of this GreenBook research survey, in addition to being a featured commentary writer included in GreenBook’s latest GRIT.
In line with GRIT’s focus on adoption of emerging methods and technology, Civicom’s commentary emphasizes that the success or failure of a brand is related to the story it communicates to its constituents. Every brand needs to identify where it can engage the buyer on a deeply personal level. Rebecca West, Civicom’s Global Vice President of Marketing Research Services, stresses that “to succeed today, every brand needs to tell a story that its target consumer can visualize and identify with.” While some brands successfully draw consumer engagement through a charismatic vision or message, other brands struggle with employing an effective story to tell, and thus turn to qualitative research to create their compelling brand story. “A good brand story does more than increase engagement and interest,” says West. “The process often starts with finding out the qualitative ‘why’ behind how brand buyers think.”
Civicom’s commentary can be read in full in the latest edition of the GRIT report, now available for download via GreenBook’s website at https://www.greenbook.org/grit.
