Approach & methodology

Our methodology reflects our belief that brand is the promise of an experience, delivered

Promise, Experience and Delivery are the key benchmarks we use to guide our clients

By succeeding in all three, a brand not only works but becomes memorable

We’ve applied the same criteria to rank cities in our Brand Barometer. Promise is 50% of a city's total score while Experience and Delivery together make up the other 50%.
