Conversion Model
While brand share may look stable, the reality of today’s marketing
environment is far more dynamic. Overall brand share dangerously
disguises people’s movement from brand to brand and spending
patterns across repertoires. The key to share protection and growth lies
in managing this promiscuity.
To help brands thrive, Conversion Model thoroughly evaluates the two
critical factors affecting brand choice: power in the mind (how people
feel about a brand) and power in the market (situational factors such as
price and availability that also influence decisions).
Conversion Model uses our understanding of individual consumers to
provide detailed insights into category dynamics and spending patterns,
pinpointing opportunities to attract new consumers, re-win existing
ones and to optimize their spending.


What potential is there to grow my brand?
