What's new
Brandstance is actively developed and maintained. Follow the latest improvements to competitive brand intelligence, strategic analysis, and real-world activation research.
LatestFaster Brand Deck exportBrand Deck export now starts sooner and finishes in a fraction of the previous time, even for large audits with many brands.
You also get clearer progress while it builds, and tighter page layouts with neatly centred labels, numbers, and tables.
The Brand Deck has been rebuilt to match the Brandstance look, with text that is never cut off and long sections that flow cleanly onto continued pages.
Your target brand now leads each comparison, and each deck includes only the analysis available on your plan.
If an analysis can't be completed, you are no longer charged for it, and incomplete reports no longer appear as finished.
Only members with a paid seat can run scans and spend credits. Everyone in the workspace can still view every result.
We improved the intelligence powering Brandstance, producing analysis that's more thorough and better grounded in evidence.
Reports now assess a wider set of archetype and whitespace opportunities, anchor recommendations more firmly in each brand's real signals, and present findings more consistently from summary through to detail.
Brandstance now adapts activation research to different kinds of businesses, from apparel and consumer goods to hospitality, digital products, and industrial brands.
We also improved brand matching and editorial image validation, helping reports surface more relevant stores, campaigns, packaging, environments, and other real-world brand touchpoints.
