According to Global InfoAnalytics, “Brand equity describes the level of sway a brand name has in the minds of consumers. Organizations establish brand equity by creating positive experiences that entice consumers to continue purchasing from them over competitors who make similar products.”
The maiden Banking Sector Brand Health Check report by Global InfoAnalytics was launched in March 2021.
Aside from tracking banks’ assets values and comparing them to key brand metrics on a quarterly basis, the quarterly report also provides banks and customers with the up-to-date status on “banking brand health.”
A brand’s health survey, the research firm explains, is essential to the success of a company as it unlocks a wealth of new data and rich insights that help to grow brands, iterate, and track success against competitors.
