Brand Audit
a brand audit is a more externally, consumer-focused exercise to assess the health of the brand, uncover its sources of brand equity, and suggest ways to improve and leverage its equity
From the perspective of the firm, what products and services are currently being offered to consumers, and how are they being marketed and branded?
From the perspective of the consumer, what deeply held perceptions and beliefs create the true meaning of brands and products?
Page 4
Brand Audit (2)
Brand audits are particularly useful background for managers as they set up their marketing plans and can have profound implications on brands’ strategic direction and resulting performance.
Page 5
Brand Inventory
The purpose of the brand inventory is to provide a current, comprehensive profile of how all the products and services sold by a company are marketed and branded. Profiling each product or service requires marketers to catalogue the following in both visual and written form for each product or service sold: the names, logos, symbols, characters, packaging, slogans, or other trademarks used; the inherent product attributes or characteristics of the brand; the pricing, communications, and distribution policies; and any other relevant marketing activity related to the brand.

Brand Inventory – Red Hat
Often firms set up a “war room” where all the various marketing activities and programs can be displayed or accessed.
Page 7
Useful Insight from Digital Inventory
Outdated brand accounts that have fallen into disuse, and perhaps need to be closed or updated;
Overlapping brand assets which can be merged or deleted, to ensure a more streamlined set of assets;
Existing brand accounts with information that is either inaccurate or not up-to-date. For example, brand logos may feature outdated colors or design, which may need to be updated;
Particular digital and social media channels where the brand does not have a presence—this could be a starting point for reworking the strategy going forward.

Qualitative Research
Try Free Association technique with your friend / relative (see Ch 10)

Brand Personality
Consider the “Big 5” factors of Brand Personality
See Figure 10.4 in PPTs
Don’t use all. Pick one. Maybe two at most.

Perceptual Map
Create a simple perceptual map similar to that in Figure 10.8
Use headers and competitors relevant to your company
