The Index is a brand & retail tracker designed to give crucial un-biased insights into the psyche of today’s consumer, allowing brands and retailers an invaluable resource to help shape and qualify their strategic efforts.

This unique report is published in two parts each month. Part 1 tracks The Sectors, The Formats, The Channels and The Behaviours while Part 2 tracks The Brands and consumer sentiment via our exclusive “Buzz Scores”.

These top 100 UK brands are judged on unbiased consumer data, which provides insight into which are the most shopped and which are held in the highest regard by consumers. This is an industry first platform that will build a bridge between the brands and the consumers, allowing the user an insight into how brands are seen by those who matter most – the customer.

Brands featured include: ASOS, Amazon, Boohoo, Primark, JD Sports, Selfridges, Net-A-Porter and many more...
