Optimize Your Brand With the Langston Approach to Brand Development and Messaging

From the look and feel of your brand to its tone and personality, our Brand Development and Messaging modules go straight to the source - the consumer - to learn what matters and why. We ask - often explicitly - how much they would trust your brand to enter a new category (Consumer Trust); which product elements are most important to them (Feature / Benefit Testing); and what brand assets they find most appealing (Brand Asset Test). These consumer-centric insights inform how to design, evolve, and optimize your brand.

Meet Our Brand Development and Messaging Modules

Put simply: We get deep into the consumer’s mind to understand what makes them tick. Drawing from years of building and managing surveys, we have identified these modules as the most commonly used to gather brand development and messaging insights.

Go Beyond Brand Development and Messaging

While you can add any Langston module onto a Brand Development & Messaging study, there are a few other modules that pair particularly well.

Schedule a call with an Insights Manager to talk through your business needs and consumer questions, and we’ll happily recommend well-fitting module(s).

  • Brand Funnel
