NEW YORK, NY--(Marketwired - Sep 3, 2013) - Burrell Communications, one of the world's largest multicultural agencies, has signed on as a client for the NewMediaMetrics LEAP™ data and insight platform, effective immediately, the companies announced.
A brand-strategy and content-alignment company, NewMediaMetrics applies its patent-protected process to quantify consumers' Emotional Attachment™ to 400 consumer brands. The process is multi-faceted. It identifies where brand owners can leverage their brands' Emotional Attachment to drive revenues. The process can also identify and link high-value brand segments to the media they watch, follow and engage with most.
The LEAP™ platform empowers marketers with deeper insights about the strength of their brands in the marketplace. Using the LEAP™ system, (Leveraging Emotional Attachment for Profit), marketers can also identify where weaknesses lie and implement strategies to drive increased revenues among segments highly or moderately attached to their brands.
Burrell will use the LEAP™ platform to review year-over-year shifts in media consumption and media attachment across 14 media platforms among African Americans aged 13-64 to determine where various demographic groups within this market segment are best targeted.
Initially, Burrell will have access to brand-to-media Emotional Attachment™ data and insight for the cosmetics category, and the agency is considering using other category data.
McGhee Williams Osse, co-CEO, Burrell Communications, said: "We believe in the power that leveraging emotional attachment can bring to our clients. NewMediaMetrics has a unique offering that will help gain a deeper understanding concerning the importance of specific brands to various segments within the African-American community."
NewMediaMetrics CEO Gary Reisman said, "The ad-marketing industry began to realize some years ago the importance of creating separately targeted messaging and media to the African-American community. African-American consumers set trends and styles for the general marketplace. As our first African-American 360 Cross-Platform Study showed in 2012, this consumer segment is also more brand loyal than the general market so it's imperative for marketers to identify and maintain strong relationships with these high-value customers and appropriately allocate marketing budgets based on their true revenue potential."
