Brand Tracking & Brand Health Surveys

Evidence-Based Brand Intelligence Built for Action, Not Vanity

Most organisations don’t truly know what their brand stands for in the eyes of their customers. At Robust Insight, we go beyond surface-level impressions to help you quantify, track, and understand how your brand is actually performing across awareness, perception, loyalty and relevance. We don’t deliver dashboards for the sake of it. We build tailored brand tracking programmes that feed directly into decision-making: positioning, marketing, product development, investment. Real signals, not noise.

What We Mean by "Brand Health"

“Brand health” isn’t a fluffy term. It is the foundation of market effectiveness, a measure of how your brand is performing in the minds of the people who matter.

Our work captures core components like:

Awareness:

Are you being noticed, and by the right people?

Recall:

When a buying decision is made, are you even in the room?

Perception:

What do people actually associate with your brand?

Preference:

Are you chosen over competitors, and why?

Trust:

Does your brand carry credibility or just familiarity?

These aren’t abstract ideas. They are tracked over time with clear metrics and interpreted in context.

Our Approach

This isn’t a tick-box tracker. Every project we take on is designed from the ground up, based on where your brand is today and where you need it to be tomorrow.

We define what matters

We begin with a proper scoping session. Not just KPIs, but your category, your positioning, and your growth plans. Then we set the right metrics.

We build the right instrument

We write surveys that aren’t just technically sound, but sharp, focused, and fit for purpose. Brand tracking should reveal what you can’t afford to miss.

We collect data that reflects the real market

No shortcuts. No panels padded with irrelevant profiles. We sample rigorously and transparently.

We deliver insights with substance

You won’t get a 70-slide deck padded with bar charts. You’ll get a concise brand health report with clear answers: What’s changing? Why? What now?

Where This Works Best

We’ve led brand tracking research across sectors including education, health, financial services, and retail.

Our work supports:

Whether you’re launching something new, repositioning, or simply feeling disconnected from how the market sees you, we help you see your brand clearly.

Typical Metrics We Track

Depending on the brief, we’ll recommend a combination of:

We also offer brand health audits if you’re starting from scratch, and long-term tracking programmes for consistent visibility.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a brand tracking survey, really?

It’s a structured way to monitor how your brand is seen, remembered and considered over time.

How do you measure brand awareness?

We assess both unaided and aided recall, segmented by audience groups to track relevance.

Are the surveys anonymous?

 Yes, all surveys are confidential and follow the MRS Code of Conduct.

Do you compare us against competitors?

Yes. Competitive benchmarking is built into most brand health studies.

How often should we track brand health?

That depends on your market dynamics. Quarterly or bi-annual tracking works well for most.

Can you help us redesign an underperforming tracker?

Absolutely. Many projects start with us auditing a legacy tracker and rebuilding it to align with current needs.

Interested in a Brand Health Check?

If you’ve never run brand tracking before, we’ll guide you through the design step by step. If you already have a tracking study but it’s not delivering, we can audit and rebuild it.
