BRANDS THAT ARE SCORING
Equação Lógica recently launched a research project among the residents in Great Lisbon and in Great Porto with a sample of 303 interviews representative of both populations.
Methodology: Quantitative and Qualitative
Quantitative with data collected on the 26th March 2020
Objective: To understand the impact and recognition of the brands contribution to the community, during the current COVID-19 Pandemics.
Equação Lógica intends to go beyond this measurement and contribute with the ranking of measures that mostly touched consumers, identifying which measures can the brands and the different economic sectors develop to correspond to the consumer expectations.
In a time when many brands went off air and cancelled their communication campaigns, as a result of a lot of uncertainty or inadequacy of the messages of their campaigns, Equação Lógica that supports many of its clients in the development of efficient communication intends, once again, to be the chosen partner helping brands in reactivating their presence in a manner that is relevant and close to the consumers in such a demanding moments for all of us.
Our experience resulting from the monitoring of numerous brands and sectors in the developments of its communication strategy, makes us believe that companies that prioritize people’s needs above brand needs, will have a very positive return in the mid-term.
Brand’s that focus now on their brand purpose and in beneficial contributes for the community, will be potentiating a higher recognition and creating a more special connection to the consumer.
Brands can’t be absent in these moments. Silence is not always a good strategy.
With an integrated research team, we in intend to give some answers and indicate some routes to our clients based on qualitative and quantitative data.
We start here, by communicating some quantitative results and very soon we will complement these with qualitative insights that will allow to better understand consumer’s attitudes and expectations in a unique research that we will also share very soon.
We share some insights here, and we are willingly available to share more information about it.
