Brand Culture Audit

Brand culture audit

A brand culture audit involves analyzing all of a brand's expressions within its environment.

Brand culture reflections

The book Brand Culture , white paper are the result of extensive reflection designed to help organizations master brand culture. This work draws in particular on semiology.

Brand performativity

Brands play a role in constructing individuals' social identities. In their communications, they must convey models of social identification (performative utterances). Beyond promoting a lifestyle or an experience, brands must express an entire culture.

Invite us into your reflection on your brand and brand culture

Semiological analysis involves identifying and describing each component of a product or a piece of communication. A deep understanding of a brand’s communication is essential to optimize consistency, refine content, anticipate the implications of changes, and envision future developments. Under the direction of Raphaël Lellouche and Odilon Cabat, we have conducted dozens of semiological studies, some of which have been published, such as the example of Frichti.

See the blog analyse-semiologique.com

At QualiQuantisemiological analysis can be used independently, or systematically as a complement to qualitative studies : we perceive them as a way of enriching consumer perception.
