Brand health tracking isn’t just about data collection, it’s about actionable insights that drive tangible growth.

It’s crucial to conduct a comparative analysis to identify performance gaps vis-a-vis competitors.

Are there awareness deficits? Is your brand lacking saliency or association with key usage occasions?

At the heart of brand growth lies the expansion of penetration—the acquisition of more users. Understanding the barriers to entry is key. Is there a missing product variant or an untapped usage occasion?

We meticulously dissect these barriers, devising strategies to eliminate them. From targeted messaging to incentivized trials, our goal is to mitigate perceived risks and encourage trial.

Retention is equally paramount. If users aren’t seeing the value, we need to address it head-on. This comprehensive approach isn’t just theoretical; it’s proven effective.

Take, for instance, a dietary supplement we transformed from a fledgling product to a market leader within two years.

Navigating the complexities of brand health tracking requires a strategic approach that goes beyond surface-level metrics.

Here are the 6 essentials for successful brand health tracking:

1️⃣ When it comes to brand health tracking, simplicity is key. Complicated systems often go unused.

2️⃣ Next, a cohesive marketing model is essential for guiding tracking efforts. At MSW, we build from a strong marketing model to ensure alignment across teams.

3️⃣ Determining the target audience is critical. Are we focusing solely on existing users, or should we cast a wider net? Defining this helps tailor tracking strategies effectively.

4️⃣ Consistency is key. Establishing a regular cadence for measurement and reporting ensures alignment with organizational needs and category dynamics.

5️⃣ Analysis is crucial for understanding potential growth areas and prescribing actionable strategies. An agreed-upon framework ensures everyone is on the same page.

6️⃣ Last but not least, financial alignment is paramount. Without clear links to finance, it’s challenging to justify marketing investments. From the C-suite to operational teams, everyone must be on board.

Each of these six essentials is vital for successful brand health tracking.

Brand health tracking isn’t just about reflecting on past performance; it’s about charting the course for the future.
