Current State Audit

AlignandPull get inside your business

We undertake rigorous research into your business environment, conduct a competitor analysis and review your external communication platforms and channels. We will also confirm or challenge preconceptions of your organisation by speaking to those who know you best; an internal perception survey gives your employees a voice and an external perception survey allows your customers to feedback.

Industry Review

Consumption and trends

AlignandPull undertake a thorough industry review in order to define the current market, explore trends and understand how your product or service is consumed. It is critical to get to grips with the environment you are operating within, in order to leverage as much value as possible from your brand.

Competitor Analysis

What are they doing and what are they not doing?

A competitor analysis helps identify the key players in the market and defines their positions, strategies and initiatives. It forms a fundamental part of our brand transformation activity, as it gives us a clear understanding of the competitive dynamics of the marketplace and provides valuable information for developing future strategies and target markets proactively.

Perception Survey External

What do they think?

Your external audience hold the key to unique insights on how they consume your brand, why they consume it and how they want to engage with you in the future. AlignandPull use external perception surveys, focus groups, telephone interviews and one-to-ones to diagnose key issues and identify proactive solutions.

Perception Survey Internal

Engage your loyal ambassadors

Your internal audience are amongst your greatest brand ambassadors. What they say and think about your brand and how they feel towards your business are key enablers for success. AlignandPull use internal perception surveys, focus groups and one-to-ones in order to measure and assess employee engagement.

Brand Guardianship and Management

AlignandPull can act as your brand guardians; another layer of protection for your brand identity.

In a business where your brand is being used by an in-house team, designers, contractors and third parties; a flexible but consistent guide for brand application supports the development of business activity, but reduces the risk of brand dilution.

We evolve guidelines where required, to accommodate international activity and local application.

Brand guardianship maintains consistency, but promotes new application to reflect technological advancement, communication channel shifts or new business case strategies.
