What's new

Product updates

Brandstance is actively developed and maintained. Follow the latest improvements to competitive brand intelligence, strategic analysis, and real-world activation research.

  1. Research quality

    More complete and evidence-grounded reports

    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.

  2. Brand Activation

    Smarter activation intelligence across categories

    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.

  3. Research quality

    Better market and location awareness

    Activation research now uses stronger evidence about where brands operate. Smarter market and location handling improves results for global brands and businesses with a limited presence in a particular region.

  4. Platform

    Brandstance is live

    Brandstance officially launched as a complete platform for competitive brand audits. Teams can discover competitors, analyze visual and verbal identity, compare strategic positioning, and turn their findings into presentation-ready reports.

    The launch also introduced secure accounts, team workspaces, subscription plans, and usage management.

  5. Brand Activation

    Real-world brand activation research

    Brandstance expanded beyond website analysis to show how brands appear in the real world.

    Activation research brings together relevant examples across retail, campaigns, packaging, outdoor advertising, events, and other physical and digital touchpoints—helping teams understand how brand strategy comes to life.

  6. Strategy

    Brand archetype analysis

    Reports now include Jungian brand archetype analysis, competitive archetype landscapes, whitespace opportunities, and practical language guidance.

    This helps strategists move from competitive observation to a clearer recommendation for how a brand can communicate and differentiate.

  7. Analysis

    More reliable competitive analysis

    We improved competitor discovery, brand data collection, color analysis, summaries, and cross-brand recommendations.

    The target brand is now consistently included in the audit, and strategic recommendations are more closely grounded in evidence collected from each brand.

  8. Product

    Brandstance takes shape

    Brandstance began as a faster way to turn competitive brand research into structured strategic insight.

    The first complete workflow combined competitor discovery, visual identity research, tone-of-voice analysis, side-by-side comparisons, strategic recommendations, and exportable reports.

Ongoing development

What we're improving now

We're continuing to improve activation image precision across industries, analysis reliability, and the overall report and product experience.
