Measurement is one of the most critical challenges for all marketing people. The need to demonstrate the value of the brand and branding activities only compounds the problem. In this session, Professor Don Schultz will illustrate the model he has developed that:

  1. Outlines the primary branding and marketing communication challenges and measurement methodologies
  2. Illustrates how these metrics do and don't work together
  3. Helps branding and marketing professionals determine what measurement tools to use and how to reach internal consensus on the use of those measurement techniques.

Termed the Three Pathway model, the approach clearly illustrates the methodologies available including Customer Brand Equity, ROI (Return on Investment), ROCI (Return on Customer Investments) and ROBI (Return on Brand Investments) and how they might be used individually and in combination.

This program has been used by marketing professionals all over the world. It is culture and even accounting agnostic. Most important, it enables marketing managers to discuss branding and marketing communication metrics on a level playing field with their internal financial and accounting counterparts. Take advantage of this opportunity to learn about this important management topic from a distinguished Northwestern University professor.

You Will Learn

  • Pathway One: Customer Brand Equity metrics derived from tracking studies of attitudinal variables. Most useful in improving branding and marketing communication programs.
  • Pathway Two: Short-Term Incremental Sales measurement approaches which illustrate the financial returns the firm receives from sales and marketing activities.
  • Pathway Three: Brand Value and Shareholder Equity measurement illustrates the measures of longer-term brand and branding activities that build corporate and shareholder value.
