In a digital-first world, how brands grow has changed. Yesterday’s indicators are not enough to provide a complete view of brand health and momentum.

The iconic consumer brands of today focus on people first. They generate better outcomes, deliver better experiences and create more value for customers. This is how they win customer loyalty, generate referrals and grow.

Discover how we put people and their needs at the centre of brand performance tracking.

Human-centred Brand Tracking

Experience Echo from Waveform is a Brand Experience Tracking service designed for digital-first businesses. It is a service for monitoring brand performance and amplifying opportunities to connect with audiences, enhance experiences and boost customer value.

Digital-first

You can’t track a digital brand’s performance like we would a food brand, a fashion brand or an auto brand.

Our approach reflects how digital brands grow, how they engage audiences and their distinct competitive environments.

Outcome-focused

We focus on the key outcomes that drive brand growth (connection, experience and value) and inspire new strategies.

We pinpoint and help plug the gaps between customers’ desired outcomes and the current brand promise.

Human-centered

Digital brands are defined by what people feel and say about them. Understanding the people behind the screens is crucial.

We help brands connect with this audience, identify how to better fulfil their needs and become their brand of choice.

What our brand tracking covers

Like consumers themselves, we form a holistic picture of brand performance vs. the competition and vs. audience expectations. We go beyond the tired brand funnels to span the product value, user experience and communications that all impact momentum.

Brand Connection

Spanning the journey from discovery to take-up; is the brand known and appealing to potential users?
