Brand perception analysis:
A company’s reputation is its license to operate; the reputation is the legitimacy that gives the company its right to exist, legally, morally, ethically in the eyes of the world. The brand is related to reputation and typically takes up the marketing industry as a company’s or product’s ‘personality’. But reputation is different. Legitimacy is central, that is, the most fundamental part of the organization’s reputation, which must be in place to ensure its survival. Reputation analysis considers the organization in light of legitimacy on a number of crucial parameters for the organization’s activity and relation to the outside world.
Stakeholder analysis:
The company’s stakeholders are those who are affected by or can influence its activities and survival. They all have a perception of the company, which may be correct or fallible, true or false, but which affects the way stakeholders regulate, talk about, or buy from the company. Stakeholder analysis maps out the opportunity space for the company – politically, socially, in the market, etc. Changes in perception must then be adjusted management and communicatively through the tactical measures presented by the analysis.
Awareness analysis:
A company’s value creation – for customers and owners – can be read in its brand. A prerequisite for the brand is knowledge of the company, municipality, member organization, NGO, etc. Companies and organizations all have special benchmarks that characterize the values and value creation provided for a range of stakeholders. In today’s media landscape, companies and organizations are constantly fighting for attention, where compromises are often made to enjoy the media’s favor. The knowledge analysis maps out whether the company’s benchmarks are recognized among the stakeholders where they create value and relevance. It generates clear guidelines for the forward-looking strategic communication for recognition and branding.
