Is your brand a unified growth engine—or a scatter of mixed signals?
This fragmentation weakens recognition, trust, and long-term growth. A singular brand, though, brings clarity and coherency to every touchpoint. Brands that present one coherent identity across every channel generate an average +23 % revenue lift versus those that don’t.¹
The Fragmentation Cost
The Attention Tug-of-War
Today's brands face unprecedented levels of fragmentation as they battle for attention from consumers, media, and commerce platforms. Shoppers now skip between paid, owned and earned touchpoints 30-plus times per purchase. When those encounters feel disjointed:
-
Fragmented campaigns deliver ≈ 30 % lower marketing ROI (fewer brand-building effects and weaker sales response).²
-
For every 10 pts of Share-of-Voice you cede, you typically forfeit ≈ 0.5 pts of market share within 12–18 months.³
-
Re-establishing lost equity demands 50 %+ more media spend than the budget originally cut.⁴
The Antidote to Fragmentation:
Brand Singularity™
Through our Brand Singularity™ approach, we help brands establish a "red thread" connecting all touchpoints, creating coherent experiences so buyers instantly tag each impression to you.
Why it matters:
-
When all your ads feel like they belong to the same story, they work about 57 % harder—so the same budget buys more attention and sales²
-
Brands that stay visually and tonally consistent are twice as likely to enjoy big jumps in profit—because shoppers recognize them faster and trust them more.⁵
-
The more often people think of you first (“mental market share”), the faster your real‐world sales and market share climb.⁶
