Three Brand Measurement Strategies
• Brand Equity – brand assets (or liabilities)
linked to a brand’s name and symbol that
add to (or subtract from) a product or
services*
• Brand Valuation – Assigning a dollar value
to the brand

“Brand Leadership”, Aaker and Joachimsthaler

Brand Equity Assessment Criteria
• Tap the full scope of brand equity
• Focus on sustainable advantages not easily
duplicated by competitors
• Reflect the constructs that truly drive the market;
are associated with future sales & profits
– Movement on a measure will move price levels, sales or
profits
• Measures should be sensitive – when equity
changes the measures reflect those changes
• Applicable across brands, product categories &
markets
– Tested proven measures provide structure for developing a
set of individual brand measures
Brand Awareness
• The level of brand recognition that
consumers have of a particular brand and
its specific product category
• Reflects the salience of the brand
• Awareness levels
–

–
Recognition: Has heard of the brand
Recall: Brands that can be named
Top-of Mind: The first-named brand
Brand Dominance: The only brand recalled
Brand Knowledge: Knowing what the brand
stands for
– Brand Opinion: A value judgment of the brand
Perceived Quality
• Special associations that occur in many
contexts; empirically shown to affect ROI
• Associated with price elasticities and brand
usage
• Associated with specific function benefit
variables
• Measured as a scale in comparison to
alternative brands
– High vs. average vs. inferior
– The best vs. one of the best vs. one of the worst
vs. the worst
– Consistent vs. inconsistent quality
Brand Association - Value
• Focuses on the brand value proposition
• Brand value involves
– a functional benefit
– is usually basic to most brands in its class
• Brand value can be measured by
– Provides good value for the money
– Whether there are reasons to buy a brand over
competitors
Brand Loyalty
• A consumer’s commitment to repurchase or
otherwise continue using the brand
• When consumers like and consistently buy a
specific brand in a product category
• Creates a barrier to entry
• Brand equity’s core dimension
Market Behavior Precautions
• Market Share
• Price/Distribution Indices
After The Break
• Divide into your teams
• Apply Aakers Brand Equity
Measurement System to Apple six
months after the antenna crisis (as
you best recall)
• Provide an
analysis for
each dimension … and give your
rational for your directional score

achieved

Brand Awareness Precautions
• Awareness is not equally important across
categories
– Recognition is important for new companies
– Recall and top-of-mind important to mature
categories/companies
• On its own provides an incomplete picture
Perceived Quality Precautions
• Perceived quality involves a competitor
frame of reference
• Need to compare “apples to apples” … subcompacts vs. luxury brands
• Segmentation issues … perception varies
across customers vs. switchers vs.
competitive loyalists
• It may not be the key driver
• It may not be sensitive to relevant events
Brand Value Precaution
• Is brand value different from perceived
quality? Perceived quality/price?
• Brand value may relates more to functional
benefits and utility
• Perceived quality may have a higher
association with prestige
Brand Loyalty Precautions
• Defined with respect to only one set of
competitors
• Might miss an emerging competitor or an
emerging variable
• Does not apply to non-customers
• Do not measure brand equity beyond the
customer base
Market Behavior Precautions
• Market Share
– More elements than brand go into market share
– Often responsive to short-term strategies
• Price/Distribution Indices
– Different channels
– Complex competitive set
Where to From Here?
• Develop a set of 4-8 constructs from the
five dimension
• Establish a weighting system to
accommodate relative importance
• Match the weighing system to perceived
values of the target market

Brand Valuation
“IF THIS BUSINESS WERE SPLIT UP, I
WOULD GIVE YOU THE LAND AND BRICKS
AND MORTAR, AND I WOULD TAKE THE
BRANDS AND THE TRADEMARKS AND
WOULD FARE BETTER THAN YOU
JOHN STUART, CHAIRMAN OF QUAKER (CA.1900)
History
• Driven by the increase in premium above stock
market values in ‘80s consumer company
acquisitions
• Since the 1990’s the need to establish a dollar
valuation for Intellectual Capital Assets has the
development of valuation methodologies
• These methods are nearing formal recognition by
the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB)
• Headed for inclusion in the standard repertoire of
the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAA)
Brand Valuation Today
• The average brand accounts for more than
1/3 of shareholder value
• McDonald’s brand accounts for more than
70% of shareholder value
• Coca-Cola brand accounts for 51% of the
Coca-Cola Company’s stock market price
• Samsung spends 7.5% on R&D and 5% on
communications

Brand Strength Assessments because
of its comprehensiveness
Brand Strength Assessment Approach

Brand Value measures the current and
future earnings due to the brand asset of
a company; the net present value of
expected future earnings.
