About brand health

While 57% of brand leaders assess brand health, only 21% find these insights actionable for their organization. CMOs are tasked with developing and articulating their organization’s brand strategy. Their role requires them to be strategic value providers — from managing marketing activities to crafting a robust, strategic plan for building and maintaining brand health. With CMOs regularly citing brand building as a desired capability, organizations need a comprehensive brand strategy that addresses both current and future brand health needs.

However, many CMOs struggle to create clear and compelling brand strategies because they find it challenging to identify the right metrics for measuring brand success. They also face difficulties in communicating the importance of brand health across the organization.

To enhance brand strategy, CMOs should:

  • Understand the organization’s brand priorities

  • Adopt the Brand Health Framework to assess brand health

  • Engage cross-functional teams to support brand health initiatives

This is an opportunity for CMOs to redefine their role and establish themselves as proactive, strategic leaders who can effectively measure and improve brand health across the organization.
