Does a brand need a claim? We observed a lot of insecurity among brands when it came to choosing, validating or checking and verifying the performance of their claim. What can a brand expect from a claim? How to test a brand claim to shortcut “cognitively processed, rational, smart answers”? With a new methodology of pantomime and actor's mediation, we made consumers' inner pictures visible. We found a way to engage consumers emotionally, quickly and playfully. We listened carefully to their verbatim while they were instructing the professional actor how to behave. Discover a very vivid and illustrated report on more than 50 brand claims!
