  • Publication number: 20140019178
    Abstract: A system and method are disclosed for optimizing brand equity return on investment (ROI). Original input data associated with a plurality of brand equity variables is processed using a brand equity ROI model to generate a first brand equity value, which in turn is processed to generate a dependent variable. Input data corresponding to an individual brand equity variable is then processed to generate changed input data, which in turn is processed by the brand equity ROI model with the original input data and the dependent variable to generate a second brand equity value. The first and second brand equity values are then processed to determine the effect of the changed data on the first brand equity value.
