A university professor working on behalf of a major guitar brand set out to understand where the brand stood in terms of customer loyalty, market positioning, and demographic appeal.
However, the data collected from SurveyMonkey was unstructured and challenging to analyze.
By partnering with an expert, the professor transformed messy survey results into a statistically sound, data-backed brand analysis.
Raw SurveyMonkey exports included inconsistent formatting, missing fields, and varied response types.
Manual review was time-consuming and introduced room for error.
The professor required statistically sound insights, with regression, ANOVA, and correlation testing to ensure research accuracy.
Findings needed to be academically and professionally credible
The brand lacked clarity on whether it was seen as a premium (top-tier) or accessible (mid-tier) option among its customer base.
Competitive benchmarks were missing.
