APEX_Main Report Mockup_Crop

Demonstrating the business value of brand remains a common challenge for B2B organisations. However, understanding brand health can help bridge the gap between its contribution to sales pipeline and how it impacts commercial success.

B2B Brand Health: The APEX Index 2023 explores and analyses the awareness, perceptions, and experiences of real buyers assessing B2B brands in the high-growth cybersecurity, fintech, renewable energy, and logistics tech verticals.

Unlike other indexes, The APEX Index 2023 focuses on the brand health of each business rather than its financial health. It highlights what customers and prospects think of a brand, providing insight on how the brand is currently performing against the brand strategy. Ultimately, it helps those managing brands identify how to better focus resources to harness future demand and win greater brand-building budget.
