What are your business issues?

Brand strategy
TNS helps our clients optimise brand and product portfolios, consolidate and define brand architecture and identify new product opportunities.

Product Development and Innovation
TNS helps you manage the risk of new product development and innovation with solutions that identify the ideas that are worth investing in, make a concept more appealing and help you optimise the mix and ultimately improve the return on your investment.

Advertising and communications
How do you know your advertising and communications have the right message, a creative execution which effectively communicates this message to motivate the audience, and the media plan to ensure it receives the right exposure? You also need to understand both the rational and emotional response to your advertising. TNS can advise you at all stages of the creative process, as well as tracking performance to ensure you are having the desired effect with the right people.

Brand Equity
TNS evaluates both the power of the brand in customers’ minds, and its power in the market. This ensures you have a complete understanding of your brand equity within the competitive context, and provides the knowledge to capitalise on market opportunities and respond to any threats.

Stakeholder Management
TNS Stakeholder Management solutions help you understand and actively manage your company’s relationships with interest groups such as customers, employees, distributors, shareholders or the general public. 

Retail and Shopper

TNS Retail and Shopper insights help you improve the equity, sales and profitability of a brand,
category or store through consumer-focused changes to the retail environment and messaging. Opinion Polling
