Strategic branding & communications assessment - how it is done.

Our Brand XRAI® process

  • Brand XRAI is our strategic branding and communication intelligence platform. Based on its enterprise search functionality Brand XRAI can automatically locate, retrieve and present branding and communication data from enormous (and small) enterprise website ecosystems – such as messages, photos, videos, graphics, brand portfolio names and PDFs.  

    In the process steps to follow, we enable corporate brand and communication teams to identify inconsistencies, measure alignment with the corporate brand platform, and govern the messaging ecosystem with greater clarity, consistency, and confidence — strengthening both internal coherence and external impact.

  • For actionable insights & consistency

    Based on data from enormous corporate website ecosystems, a Brand XRAI Review will give you data-driven insights to which strategic verbal and visual identity your company is communicating.

    In addition to that, it will also expose which strategic messages and messaging themes your company is communicating most frequently.

    Helping you to know and to show how well the existing branding and communication is aligned with your corporate brand and message platform. Enabling you to find the gaps and take actions to close them.

  • A Brand XRAI Comp Review will give you data-driven insights to which strategic verbal and visual identity your competitors are communicating.

    The review will also expose your competitors most frequently communicated strategic messages and messaging themes.

    Enabling you to know and show that your corporate branding and communication is meaningfully different compared to your competitors.

  • For improved clarity and sharper positioning.

    The Brand XRAI is an independent platform, meaning you have the freedom to use any other GenAI tool you like to further refine your existing messages.

    This step can either be based on insights from a Brand XRAI Review or simply tell us what what strategic messaging themes you would like to explore further and we will supply you with a dataset containing those messages.

  • For Greater impact & improved ROI

    A lot of knowledge, insights and personal experiences have been invested in developing strategic messaging, sales arguments, claims and proofs points to be communicated through the corporate website ecosystem. Only the total sum of hours involved adds up to a significant number in a multinational enterprise with a wide range of companies, businesses areas and other entities. 

    Not only does it give you a better ROI on already made investments, it is also a gigantic pool of internally developed and approved marketing messaging, sales arguments and proof points.

    Brand XRAI enables you to get quick access to all this internal knowledge. It is already there, make sure to reuse it.

Analyze strategic branding and communications with the same precision a CFO analyzes finance.

Why a strategic branding & communication assessment?

  • Across global enterprises, millions of words are published every year — but how much of it truly reflects your brand and message strategy?

    Brand XRAI reveals what your company really communicates across its vast ecosystem of corporate websites. It transforms hidden patterns and scattered messages into clear, actionable intelligence.

    With Brand XRAI, brand and communication leaders finally get answers to the questions that matter most:

    • Is our communication on brand and aligned with our positioning strategy?

    • Is it meaningfully different from competitors?

    The results?
    You gain the clarity to secure consistency, the insights to sharpen differentiation, and the confidence to lead your brand and communication agenda with authority.

    Because in a world where everyone communicates, the real advantage belongs to those who truly understand what they say and why.

When a strategic branding & communications assessment

What’s your branding & communication challenge?

  • When you as corporate brand and communications leader feel you want to regain control over whether your company is truly communicating in line with the corporate brand and messaging platform, the risk of dilution is high.

    With multiple business areas and local teams around the globe shaping their own messages, misalignment becomes almost inevitable.

    A strategic Brand XRAI messaging review is the fastest way to restore consistency and act with confidence.

    Key reasons to act now:

    • Re-establish control over how business areas and regional teams communicate.

    • Ensure consistency between the corporate brand platform and local execution.

    • Uncover gaps, overlaps, and conflicting messages that weaken positioning.

    • Build confidence in executive reporting by showing alignment between strategy and communication.

    • Strengthen brand governance with a clear, data-driven view of the company’s messaging footprint.

  • Even the strongest brands risk losing relevance as markets evolve and messages fragment. A strategic branding and communications review acts as a recharge—reconnecting strategy with reality, uncovering untapped strengths, and sharpening focus.

    By grounding the brand in what the company actually communicates today, it restores clarity, consistency, and internal energy—building momentum for the next stage of brand evolution without the need for a full rebrand.

  • A strategic competitor branding and communications review reveals how your brand truly stands out—or blends in.

    By systematically analyzing competitors’ messages, themes, and tone, it exposes overused narratives, uncovers untapped “white space,” and identifies where your brand can communicate distinct, customer-relevant value.

    The result is sharper positioning, stronger differentiation, and the confidence to lead with clarity in a crowded market.

  • A branding and communications review adds critical value in an M&A process by revealing how each company’s brand, messaging, and reputation align—or clash. It uncovers overlaps, gaps, and inconsistencies that can impact integration, stakeholder trust, and market perception.

    By providing a clear picture of brand equity, narrative strengths, and communication risks, it helps deal teams protect intangible value, shape a unified post-merger story, and accelerate cultural and market integration.

  • A value-based messaging review turns brand transformation from ambition into execution.

    By exposing outdated narratives, aligning messages with the brand’s new value promise, and creating internal clarity, it ensures the transformation is credible, consistent, and quickly embraced—so stakeholders experience it as a true strategic shift, not just a cosmetic change.

  • A corporate branding and communications review sharpens a company’s go-to-market strategy by ensuring that all messaging truly reflects strategic intent.

    By clarifying the value proposition and aligning messaging between marketing and sales, it builds consistency, strengthens differentiation, and turns fragmented communication into a unified narrative that drives sales and build brand equity and long-term profitable growth.

  • A strategic branding and communications review transforms fragmented marketing and sales efforts into a unified growth engine — one where every message, campaign, and conversation pulls in the same strategic direction, driving clarity, consistency, and commercial impact.

  • With the help of Brand XRAI we can transform existing messaging into LLM-optimized messaging, enhancing both strategic clarity and message governance.

    A Brand XRAI review and messages conversion ensures that brand positioning is clear, consistent, and discoverable — not only to human audiences but also to AI systems that increasingly shape how information is found and understood.

    By structuring messaging around how large language models interpret meaning, organizations can make their brand narratives more intelligible, aligned, and competitive across all digital environments.

    At the same time, LLM-optimized messaging creates a scalable governance layer that enforces semantic consistency and connects every message — from corporate to product level — back to the strategic brand platform.
