BrandVue:
Your daily source for insight

BrandVue’s roots lie within the Big Restaurant Survey developed in 2010 as a syndicated brand tracker, allowing for tracking of consumer perceptions of over 200 restaurant brands through surveys conducted every six months. The product was built as a reporting tool which allowed for a ‘hero’ brand to be highlighted and then benchmarked against competitors. Similarly to BrandVue today, following the selection of the ‘hero’ brand, the user was then able to create a report from the aggregated data. The big restaurant survey proved extremely popular within the restaurant industry, quickly becoming a market leader and helping to define the market acquiring over 30 clients. The main competitor at the time was that of the YouGov BrandIndex which had a similar offering, however the differentiating factor was that the competitor’s surveys were binary, suffering from respondent fatigue and lacking in robustness. An opportunity was identified in the market for a high-quality daily brand tracker that could achieve both what the YouGov brand index and the Big Restaurant Survey were known for and more. Over time, the Big Restaurant Survey evolved into what we now know as BrandVue.

What is BrandVue?

BrandVue is a syndicated daily brand tracker measuring your brands market performance through the eyes of your consumers. Through compiling over 100,000 survey responses from a representative sample of the UK population, BrandVue can help your organisation identify not only your internal strengths and weaknesses, but also potential opportunities within the wider marketplace by not only showing consumer attitudes toward your brand, but also that of your direct and indirect competition. The BrandVue tool allows for the outputting of data into visual reports, easing the process of demonstrating ROI and KPIs to key stakeholders in your organisation.

BrandVue can add value not to just the brands that are being tracked but also Non Core Brands, Advertising Agencies, Investment Companies and Holding Companies. It offers significant value to these business and provides a tool to enable these businesses to make better decisions.
