Brand Keys is a brand research consultancy specializing in predictive consumer behavioral brand equity, loyalty, and engagement metrics.[1][2][3] Brand Keys is headquartered in New York, NY and has offices in Dublin, Dubai, London, Madrid, Sydney, and Tokyo.[4]

Overview

History

Robert Passikoff founded Brand Keys in 1984 and developed the consumer listening system to show measures of brand equity.[5] The approach identifies what motivates, maintains, reinforces, and drives consideration, engagement, purchase behavior, and consumer loyalty.[6]

Methodologies

Research conducted by the Advertising Research Foundation indicated that the methodological framework utilized by Brand Keys is the most successful at predicting sales and subsequent changes in real-world consumer behavior. The Advertising Research Foundation also independently validated these assessments via their "First Opinion" Review.[7]

Services

Brand engagement and loyalty

In 1997, Robert Passikoff initiated The Customer Loyalty Engagement Index to measure customer loyalty to brands.[8] The Customer Loyalty Engagement Index annually measures customer loyalty among brands in 83 products and service categories. The output informs how emotional factors and rational attributes, consumer benefits, and values come together to form the components of behavioral decision drivers.[9]

Media measurement

Brand-To-Media Engagement, developed in 1992, measures the impact that any media, marketing, or communication initiative will have on brand engagement. It is also used to measure the level of engagement delivered by any promotion, sponsorship, or partnership. These assessments provide marketing accountability through pre-spend testing.

Digital platform measurement

The Digital Platform Engagement Index, introduced in 2012, shows which digital platforms will deliver the highest levels of consumer engagement.[10] It indicates where brands can efficiently allocate budgets and how to attain the highest levels of attention, consideration, brand engagement, and loyalty.

Market research based on clinical psychology

The methodology uncovers and quantifies motivations behind the consumer decision making process. It is a combination of indirect psychological inquiry based on Jungian psychology and higher-order quantitative statistical analysis.[11]
