Marketers know brand builds growth—but until now, proof was elusive. The new Brand as Performance (BaP) whitepaper from MMA Global and TransUnion reveals that traditional measurement methods have undervalued brand’s impact by up to 83%. Backed by studies from Ally, Kroger, and Campbell’s, BaP shows how brand campaigns lift favorability (+24%), drive higher conversions (4–5x), and deliver 1.8–6x greater long-term sales impact compared to short-term tactics. With BaP, CMOs finally have the evidence to defend budgets, optimize strategy, and demonstrate marketing’s full value.
