THE BOTTOM LINE

Getting To The Bottom Of Brand Engagement Everyone is chasing after a metric to define brand engagement. Millward Brown says “digital consumers” have 15% stronger relationships with brands. The Altimeter Group attempts to correlate social media activity to financial performance, citing Dell, Starbucks and eBay as leaders. 



We at Razorfish took a different tack: we simply wanted to know if there was any direct correlation between a consumer’s digital interaction with a brand and their likelihood to purchase a specific product or service. 

HAVE YOU EVER MADE YOUR FIRST PURCHASE FROM A BRAND BECAUSE OF A DIGITAL EXPERIENCE ( E . G ., A WEB SITE , MICROSITE , MOBILE COUPON , EMAIL ) ?

The answer was a resounding “yes”. Experiences have a much greater influence over brand affinity and consumer purchasing than even we anticipated: 

• 65% of consumers have had a digital experience change their opinion about a brand. • 97% of those report that experience influencing whether or not they purchased a product or service from that brand. • 64% of consumer report making a first purchase from a brand because of digital experience (e.g. website, banner, etc.) 24
