Brand & Communications Research
Our latest research shows that building a powerful brand will be a key strategy for B2B marketers in 2022 and beyond. We know that as few as 5% of B2B buyers are 'in market' to buy at any given time, meaning the path to purchase can be a long one. The ability to provide memorable, meaningful brand experiences throughout the customer lifecycle can be the difference between being considered or not during this narrow window of opportunity.
At B2B International, we enable leading corporations to build powerful brands through our specialist brand and communications research solutions. Our B2B-specific approach helps clients to measure and benchmark brand health, develop compelling brand propositions and measure the effectiveness of campaigns.
Our brand health tracking research enables you to determine brand awareness and usage in the market, whether your brand positioning is resonating with your audience, and overall satisfaction with your brand and likelihood to recommend to others.
Our brand positioning and perception research measures how strongly your brand is associated with the market’s top three desired positions, how strongly your brand is seen to be differentiated from other brands in the market, and ensuring your brand position is correctly aligned with brand objectives.
Our brand campaign effectiveness research can accurately test the potential and real-world impact of your B2B marketing campaigns, benchmarking your performance against competitors and uncover opportunities for differentiation.
Clients We've Worked With
Case Studies
Consolidating multiple business units into one cohesive brand
Our client is an organization that specializes in creating bespoke integrated technology solutions. The application of its core capabilities resulted in the creation of three distinct business units.
The client had the commercial objective of creating a single brand, by bringing together the three distinct business units into one organization.
The challenge was that each of the business units had its own customer base, brand identity and competitive set. Any change to the brand needed to be managed carefully to ensure the customer base was not affected.

Testing the effectiveness of a global ad campaign to inform creative and media placement
Our client, one of the world’s largest chemical companies, approached us to test their latest ad campaign through independent research. Despite its size, our client was still relatively unknown outside its home country, Saudi Arabia.
Our client therefore planned a global campaign designed to increase brand awareness and interest in foreign markets, and to promote the company as responsible, an innovation enabler, and a brand which cares about solving the world’s problems through collaboration. Before the launch of the campaign, our client wanted to test its effectiveness in communicating those messages.
