According to Warc, Armstead told The Market Research Event in Nashville, that the company was looking to become “more of a global organisation [with] standards and consistency in the way we track our brand equity across our entire consumer group portfolio”.

The cross-brand measurement is built around Millward Brown’s Meaningfully Different framework, which assess brands according to their meaningfulness, their difference and their salience.
