How do I position my brand and portfolio for sustained performance?
We help you drive brand growth by identifying the new drivers of brand choice, uncovering changing needs and perceptions, and finding new roles for your brand to play.
Own the new drivers of brand success: Expectations, Context and Empathy
Ipsos' vision to building great brands is underpinned by our keys to Unlock Brand Success: shaping Expectations / integrating Context / acting with Empathy.
Contextual Brand Choice is a new brand tool that empowers marketers to drive brand success by understanding and acting on these dimensions: Expectations, Context and Empathy. Context is especially important, as it can account for over 50% of brand choice drivers, depending on the category.
Our Contextual Brand Choice tool goes beyond emotional and functional drivers to determine contextual drivers in the form of behavioural triggers and barriers as well as societal drivers such as environmental impact, diversity & inclusion, and social change – which are extremely relevant to growing your brands in today’s markets.
Contextual Brand Choice helps you address challenges such as:
How can I reshape expectations in a way that only my brand can meet them?
How can I integrate societal impact in my brand proposition in an ownable and credible way?
How can I stretch my brand to more occasions?
How can I overcome behavioural barriers that stop people from using my brand?

How can I define a relevant role for my brand to play in people’s lives?
