Many small businesses underestimate the value of market research and how it can advance your brand. Some business owners feel they know exactly what their customer wants, or needs.

Is Your Brand Strategy Built on a Solid Foundation of Insights?

Your brand strategy is a roadmap to developing real connections with your target audience. It’s about creating stories people care about — and remember.

And the right research can help you make that happen. It can be the difference between a brand strategy that works for you, or against you.

Just gathering the data isn’t enough. You’ll need a keen understanding to transform data into insights that help you make smarter brand and business decisions.

Our integrated Brand Communications System approach helps you do that — use your research to inform brand development, lead generation, nurturing, and customer development strategies.


Market research AND marketing research

Market research is a broader look at markets, individuals, and organizations and marketing research focuses more on marketing issues like promotion and branding. Market research considers political, economic, social and technology market trends, direct and indirect competition, target market attributes, the customer wants and needs, etc. 

Marketing Research focuses on the four Ps of the marketing mix (product, promotion, place, price)  through research like advertisement testing, product concept testing, usability tests, pricing research, channel research, etc. With over 35 years of using market and marketing research to build brand strategy that delivers, Mystique Brand Communications will leverage your research to help you achieve your brand and business goals.
