B2B perception tracking
Building a strong B2B brand isn’t easy. It takes time for brand campaigns to cut through.
To monitor your progress, you need to track brand performance measures. Tracking brand health, authority, associations, perceptions, prominence, and so on shows you where to take action.
Adience has heaps of experience in B2B brand tracking. Through a program of primary brand tracking research, we reveal the results of your marketing campaigns by:
Measuring overall brand health and monitoring how it changes over time
Comparing brand health against competitors
Demonstrating the return on investment for brand health marketing initiatives
Diagnosing and correcting brand health / brand equity issues
Why Adience?
Because you can’t build a strong B2B brand based on weak information.
Lots of market research agencies aren’t B2B specialists and assume they can conduct B2B brand tracking studies in a similar way to consumer research. That approach often produces very inaccurate data.
B2B audiences aren’t quick and easy to reach at scale but quality must come first, then quantity – not vice versa.
We know that research panels rarely have the senior business decision-makers you want feedback and insights from. That’s why we use more appropriate recruitment methods to find the right people for our brand tracking studies.
More and more B2B brands are coming around to our way of thinking. Several B2B clients moved their brand tracker to us because they didn’t trust data from their incumbent agency.

GET IN TOUCHWhat is B2B brand tracking research?
01
Brand performance and equity
Track brand usage and prominence; monitor perceptions; assess brand performance; measure brand equity; identify brand preference; strengthen your brand equity.
02Customer satisfaction (CSAT)
Understand how to keep existing customers; reduce the cost of customer acquisition; identify customers’ unmet needs and wants; boost revenues.
03NPS and other North Star metrics
Monitor brand loyalty; identify how to improve it; increase customer recommendations and referrals; accelerate brand growth. We can include Net Promoter Score (NPS) tracking but given the different types of loyalty in B2B, it’s usually better to focus on a more tailored ‘hero’ metric - we can help you find it.

We’re really good at helping B2B brands grow. An Adience B2B brand tracking research program has three guiding principles:
01
Loyalty nuances
There are many types of brand loyalty in B2B markets. In some markets, customers spend with several suppliers. In others, they only have one choice.
That’s why measuring NPS often doesn’t make sense in B2B. Research must identify which type of loyalty is relevant in your market, before exploring what drives it.
02
Segment variations
Different customer groups have different priorities and therefore, different opinions on your performance.
Research must find the segments that have different perceptions or drivers of loyalty and what these are.
03
Hidden influences
Direct questioning doesn’t always reveal the whole truth. The target audience doesn’t always know why they think or behave a certain way, so they give over-rationalized answers.
Research must remove these distortions to understand how true loyalty works. Trade-off techniques such as regression analysis can identify what really influences perceptions.
