Got questions? We’ve got answers. Here’s all you need to know about working with us.

What is Brand Relevance Engineering?
icon

Brand Relevance Engineering is a structured approach to developing brands that maintain long-term significance in their market. It combines AI-driven analysis, strategic positioning, and market insights to establish and sustain a brand’s relevance.

What is the difference between Relevance and Resonance?
icon

What is the difference between Brand Relevance and Brand Resonance? Brand Relevance refers to whether a brand is perceived as necessary and valuable in its market. Brand Resonance refers to the level of emotional connection and loyalty the brand builds with its audience.

Do you also handle marketing execution?
icon

Jakob & Josef specializes in Brand Strategy & Positioning. While marketing execution is not part of the service offering, strategic guidance is provided to ensure consistency between branding and marketing efforts.

What happens during the brand relevance engineering?
icon

The Brand Relevance Sprint is a 6-8 week structured process designed to refine a brand’s positioning. It includes: Defining market positioning based on AI-driven insights. Applying Emotional Mining AI to analyze consumer motivations. Developing a messaging framework for brand communication. Providing a strategic execution plan to support implementation. This sprint is designed for companies looking to refine their brand strategy within a short timeframe.

What is the ROI of Brand Relevance Engineering?
icon

The return on investment (ROI) depends on how effectively the brand strategy translates into business growth. Jakob & Josef’s approach is designed to generate measurable value through: Increased customer retention – Stronger emotional connection leads to higher lifetime value (LTV). Higher conversion rates – Clearer messaging and positioning reduce customer hesitation. Market differentiation – Making the brand a category leader rather than a competitor. Stronger pricing power – Relevant brands command higher perceived value and can sustain premium pricing. ROI is determined by long-term brand equity growth, sustained market positioning, and competitive resilience.

Why shouldn't I just continue doing what I'm doing?
icon

If a brand is already consistently growing, maintaining market leadership, and securing long-term engagement, then major changes may not be necessary. However, many companies experience: Declining engagement – The brand no longer connects with its target audience. Market stagnation – Growth has plateaued, and competitors are gaining ground. Brand fatigue – Messaging and positioning no longer differentiate from others in the industry. Unclear future direction – The brand lacks a structured strategy to sustain relevance. If market perception, customer engagement, or brand differentiation is at risk, continuing the same approach may lead to diminishing returns over time. Jakob & Josef provides data-driven insights to determine whether brand evolution is necessary.

What is Emotional Mining?
icon

Emotional Mining is Jakob & Josef’s AI-driven methodology designed to uncover the deep emotional triggers that influence customer decisions. Unlike traditional market research, which focuses on surface-level preferences, Emotional Mining identifies: Subconscious motivations – What truly drives a customer to choose one brand over another. Emotional response patterns – How consumers feel about a brand, beyond rational decision-making. Brand storytelling opportunities – How to position a brand in a way that resonates on a deeper level. By leveraging AI and data analysis, Emotional Mining enables precision-driven brand strategies that create long-term emotional connections.
