For multiunit retailers, brand auditing—whether locally or globally—needs to be performed with some frequency to help mitigate risk and maintain a consistent image. Our brand audit program helps identify areas that need attention by implementing targeted brand image and expectation checkpoints in retail facilities in their food, hospitality and retail operations.
