Audience insight is hugely important for any brand – but how to do it on a budget? In this session, we’ll be hearing about charities both small and large who gathered insight on their audiences on a budget. We’ll hear about the techniques and tools they used to gather their insights with a range of audiences. We’ll also learn what insights are and how to unearth them. Finally, we’ll have time for some much needed peer-to-peer discussions and hot potatoes too. It’s a bumper session, and you don’t want to miss it!
Vanessa Weddell Strong brands are based on insights to make sure they are authentic and differentiated. Human insights to connect with our audiences. Organisational insights to ensure brands complement the corporate strategy, skills and aspirations. And sector insights to ensure the brand fits cultural trends and is differentiated. Dan will guide us through some of the tools available to identify insights from primary and desk research to market and trends analysis, qualitative and quantitative research, public omnibus, surveys, online panels and good old focus groups. The mind boggles. Dan Dufour @BrandDufour Audience insight is vital – it can help you understand how your audience perceives or interacts with your brand. But what do you do with those insights? In 2019, Foothold underwent a full rebrand and as a small charity with limited resource, they have to make sure their activities are impactful. In this presentation, Li-Anne will cover how insights led to a rebrand and how insights continue to inform the organisation. Li-Anne Quinn We’ll break into small groups to talk about how you’re gathering audience insight on a budget.

About the Brand Breakfast
CharityComms’ Brand Breakfast is a group for professionals working in brand to come together to discuss issues of mutual interest and share examples of good practice.
The format of the meetings is usually two or three presentations on a specific topic, followed by small group discussions, providing a combination of best practice and peer-to-peer sharing.
These events are a great opportunity to meet your peers, compare notes on workplace practices and share successes, ideas, challenges and inspiration. The group is designed to encourage networking and peer to peer support, sharing issues in a ‘safe’ environment.
