Defining Brand Equity (FRMU)
- Brand equity is defined by four metrics: familiarity, regard, meaningfulness, and uniqueness (FRMU).
- These metrics predict business outcomes reliably when measured relative to all brands, not just category peers.
Brand Equity Drives Business Value
- Brand equity has a stronger impact on company value and profitability than on just revenue alone.
- Up to 30% of company revenue may be contributed by brand equity perceptions.
Brand Equity Enhances Pricing Power
