With www.humanbrandindex.com we offer different market research instruments for reliable evaluation of testimonials and human brands.

A unique study design forms the methodological foundation, which allows the target group to evaluate human brands/ celebrities representatively. The research methodology is based on a wide-ranged randomized, controlled study, where the effects of testimonial commercials were compared to the effects of regular commercials. Since not only purchase intentions, but also actual purchases of respondents were surveyed for validation, the HUMAN BRAND INDEX ® can accurately predict the actual testimonial success from the relation between brand and testimonial.
