Brand & Communications Research
Our latest research shows that building a powerful brand will be a key strategy for B2B marketers in 2023 and beyond. We know that as few as 5% of B2B buyers are 'in market' to buy at any given time, meaning the path to purchase can be a long one. The ability to provide memorable, meaningful brand experiences throughout the customer lifecycle can be the difference between being considered or not during this narrow window of opportunity.
At B2B International, we enable leading corporations to build powerful brands through our specialist brand and communications research solutions. Our B2B-specific approach helps clients to measure and benchmark brand health, develop compelling brand propositions and measure the effectiveness of campaigns.
Our brand health tracking research enables you to determine brand awareness and usage in the market, whether your brand positioning is resonating with your audience, and overall satisfaction with your brand and likelihood to recommend to others.
Our brand positioning and perception research measures how strongly your brand is associated with the market’s top three desired positions, how strongly your brand is seen to be differentiated from other brands in the market, and ensuring your brand position is correctly aligned with brand objectives.
Our brand campaign effectiveness research can accurately test the potential and real-world impact of your B2B marketing campaigns, benchmarking your performance against competitors and uncover opportunities for differentiation.

Helping Hyland to unlock brand potential and drive brand growth
Hyland is a leading global provider of enterprise content management and content services (ECM & CS) software.
