OUR APPROACH TO RESEARCH IS TAILOR-MADE TO DELIVER ACTIONABLE RESULTS FOR YOUR BRAND’S SUCCESS.

Brand Strategy and Performance


Brands that don’t continue to evolve and change with the times are destined to fail. That’s the harsh reality we all live in. Q2 Insights has extensive experience with brand strategy development, brand performance measurement, brand repositioning and how best to position a new brand. We employ innovative approaches and pioneering thinking to understand how to get more people to use your brand more frequently. At the end of the day, you’ll discover the vital connections between brand and market that will help secure your brand’s future.

Communications and Advertising Research


Understanding how people make decisions, their underlying rational and emotional motivations and strategies is a distinct area of expertise for Q2 Insights. If you’re developing a new internal or external communications or ad campaign (digital or traditional), we can help generate messaging strategies and creative execution ideas. Already have a concept but not sure it’s on target? We can employ research to evaluate and refine advertising in all media—digital, TV, radio, print, outdoor—in unfinished or finished form. Our work doesn’t necessarily end with the finished ads. We can track the ads to evaluate performance over time.
