Qualitative Methods via Focus Groups, Triads, One-on-Ones or Web Interviews – Positioning can be a tricky process and often begins with developing a list of name / logo alternatives or positioning statements.  It is important to differentiate your product or service in the marketplace, and even more important to understand how your target markets will perceive these names & positions.  It is our job to decipher underlying emotional connections, help you refine the names / logos, and assure a strong fit with your brand.
