Brand Analysts or Brand Researchers use market research prior to the development of campaigns or new products and services for in-house companies and agencies. They have their finger on the pulse when it comes to consumer trends and identify ways to launch a product into the creative market while ensuring it is in alignment with the overall brand image. 

Brand analysts coordinate with brand managers and brand directors to provide analysis and strategies to achieve all campaign and product objectives. They develop and analyze data on an on-going basis to forecast and recommend best practices for brand positioning.
