Make brand perception with AI text analysis measurable

Understand how your brand is really perceived. Analyze associations, values, and differentiators from open-ended responses – structured, comparable, and across competitors.

The Challenge

1,000 associations. Which ones matter?

Your brand study shows hundreds of different associations and descriptions. But which ones are truly relevant? How do you distinguish core perception from marginal notes? And how do you objectively compare your brand with competitors? Word clouds aren't enough anymore – they show frequencies, but not meaning.

What is branding research with text analysis?

Branding research with text analysis goes beyond classic word clouds. Instead of just counting word frequencies, deepsight identifies semantic connections in open-ended responses. Brand attributes like 'innovative', 'future-oriented', and 'modern' are automatically grouped into meaning clusters. This way you understand not just which words come up – but which concepts shape your brand in the minds of your target audience.

Example

How is your brand perceived in surveys and social media?

A consumer goods company analyzed 3,000 open responses from a brand study. deepsight automatically extracted core attributes: 'Quality' and 'sustainability' dominated with positive sentiment, while 'price-performance' was frequently mentioned but showed strongly negative sentiment. The competitive comparison revealed: The brand was perceived as 'higher quality, but more expensive' – a clear recommendation for the communication strategy.
