Results from a recent study in the beer and spirits categories are described below to illustrate the new insights available from measuring cool.

- Cool is a key driver of brand favorability across a wide spectrum of product and service categories
- Cool is relevant and important to all age groups, although what is considered to be cool may vary by age.
- Cool brands have different characteristic patterns
- Cool is more reliably measured through non-conscious methods, where perception and intuition operate in our thinking...
Valuable research for marketers...
