    Meaningful Brands

    Our proprietary research study Meaningful Brands (that spans 395,000 people worldwide, 30 markets, 21 industries and 2,000 brands each year) discovered that:

    75%

    of brands could disappear and no one would care

    47%

    of brands are seen as trustworthy

    61%

    of people support brands who focus on purpose over profit

    It's these key findings that have led to the creation of our Meaningful Brands strategic framework. A unique approach that has allowed us to understand that a brand’s value - how meaningful it is to its consumers - is defined by a combination of 'functional', 'personal' and 'collective' benefits.

    Used across strategy and planning teams in all our agencies around the world, Meaningful Brands acts as the glue in our integrated process and provides a common approach to strategic thinking to ensure we deliver meaningful business growth for our clients.
