Who we are

Since more than 15 years, we consel the most beautiful brands in luxury, cosmetics and selective distribution.

Our survey and consulting demarche is based on:

  1. The scientific rigor of our demonstration: the model that analyses brand performance comes from university researches initiated by Pr Philippe Jourdan.
  2. The objectivity of our analyses: thanks to our knowledge of practices and markets, both in France and abroad to provide you a useful clarification for your brand’s strategies.
  3. The operability of our recommendations: all our consultants have an experience in institute and at an announcer, which make their clients appreciate their double culture.
  4. Inquiring mind: a worth the price survey has to be usefully clarified with a precise knowledge of the issues and actors in a permanently evolving world.

Our methodology Monitoring Brand Assets® has been acknowledged as particularly innovative and awarded several times as it provides:

  1. An evaluation of your brands based on the only view that counts: your clients’.
  2. A customization of the survey to perfectly meet your needs and take into account your activity’s specificities.
  3. An individual ("disaggregated") measure of your brands’ value, which allows a sharp targeting for your action plans.
  4. A synthesis of brand equity’s main indicators that reconciles the two main Anglo-Saxon currents of research: Aaker and Keller.
  5. An easy reading of the results thanks to indexes that can interpreted by everyone.
  6. A normative database with more than 1.500.000 questionnaires.
  7. Sharp image levers to act on corporate, retail, offer and digital.
  8. The elaboration of KPI that can be interpreted by every Department in your company and favor a better transverse piloting.
  9. A simulation software of your marketing action plans to make the survey’s lessons operational with your teams.

Standard and abstract consumer studies won’t do anymore.
Brands and Maisons are now looking for factual information
and practical solutions that will help them connect further
to their customers and boost their desirability.

attitudes and needs are increasingly complex…

THE GOOD PROOF: A TOOL TO BETTER COMMUNICATE ON YOUR CSR COMMITMENTS

Julien Quidor Dit Pasquet, co-founder of the creative and committed agency The Good Company, created The Good Proof in partnership with Promise Consulting and The New Anthorpology. A tool to help brands identify, create and prioritize their CSR commitments.

64% of French people think that a brand should communicate if it implements CSR (corporate social responsibility) actions. Faced with this number, the mistrust of the same respondents is very high: 66% believe that the actions promoted are not a reality. This finding has accelerated since 2019 when they were only 49%. For Julien Quidor Dit Pasquet, co-founder of the creative agency The Good Company, “we are witnessing a responsible revolution where brands will be disrupted socially and environmentally on their responsibilities.

2021 luxury market update : it’s all about digital and China

What is the status of the luxury market and digital in this Covidised 2021 world? A little more than three years ago, Philippe Jourdan, one of the world’s leading marketing experts regarding the luxury market, told me that the role of digital in the luxury market was not as significant as one may have thought. I interviewed him a few weeks ago in order to better understand the current situation and assess how much it had changed under the pandemic. Let’s see what has happened in the past three years and more particularly in 2020-2021. Namely, with regard to the unstoppable rise of China in the luxury market. Above all, according to Philippe, attitudes regarding the online purchase of luxury products have changed dramatically during this crisis. All this might well end up alter consumers’ behaviours forever.

View point: Could culture explain differences of entrepreneurial dynamism? | The cases of France and England

Article of Philippe JOURDAN & Jean-Claude PACITTO, in GESTION2000 , 2017/5-6, Vol. 34

 

RESUME

It is never easy to answer complex questions such as why the differential of entrepreneurial dynamism between countries or continents. As often the causes are multiple. Confronted with the need to understand and act, actors involved in entrepreneurial development and especially public authorities need more comprehensive explanations that can mobilize energies and simplify the search for causes.
We will never understand the success of culturalist explanations if we do not place them in a context of demand for causal simplification of the phenomena studied. These explanations have tended to become seductive theories in the sense of Boudon (1986) and have lost their scientific validity.
Examining the differentiated trajectories of France and England in terms of entrepreneurship will allow us to better reveal the influence of the politico-institutional context on entrepreneurial development and thus relativize the “culturalist” explanations that ultimately explain not much.
