What is Brand Signature?
In sustaining a relationship with the consumer and increasing loyalty, a brand will succeed in converting more individuals up the Brand Dynamics Pyramid.
The rate at which a brand converts people from one level to the next is calculated; by comparing this with what you would expect given the brand's size, we can identify the strengths and weaknesses of a brand relative to other brands in its category. This method eliminates the effect of size, thus allowing you to compare the strengths of two brands regardless of whether they are small or large.
