The brand audit is an essential starting point to understand your current brand position in the market. It involves assessing customer perceptions through surveys and interviews.
You’ll analyze how your brand communicates its purpose, benefits, and personality. The audit also evaluates branding consistency across all touchpoints, such as your website, storefront, marketing materials, etc.
Competitor research is done to see how your brand differentiates. Finally, the audit compares your brand positioning to business goals. This provides a baseline to identify focus areas and knowledge to create a brand strategy that strengthens alignment with objectives.
