5. CAR-T: Brand Equity Perception Study
In terms of Market Positioning,
we shaped our external
questionnaire to reflect each of
the company's 'overall clarity of
communication' and asked "What
were the key drivers that made
each respective company stand
out amongst their peers."
In this study we examined six (6) key
categories for assessment. They are
as follows:
Category Attributes Explained
For the Web Presence analysis,
we examined the inherent
associative brand (corporate)
characteristics as they related to
CAR-T. (This was particularly
important as Novartis is different
then the others as it is the only
'Big Pharma' player in the study).

6. CAR-T: Brand Equity Perception Study
Collateral Material incorporates a
review of the analog (print, etc.) and
digital materials available from each of
the companies. We looked at the ease
of access to materials, educational
offerings, range and scope of the
materials and commitment to continue
to educate at various different
communication junctions (Patient,
HCP, etc.).
In terms of Differentiation, we focused
our assessment on many of the
traditional market differentiators and
the ability for each company to
leverage their core brand today and in
the future. Gauging these attributes
included asking: "How do you perceive
this company’s ability to deliver on the
promise put forth in their
communication?". "Will their therapy
work?". "Will they be first to market?”
"Who is best? Second Best? etc.

Depth. Here we examined each
company's respective pipelines and
how this resonates back to the
corporate brand identity. This was
more of a focus for Wall Street, VC's,
investors and peers. Questions
included: "Who has the deepest
minds?". "Who has the least likelihood
to suffer from brand technological
obsolescence?”
Analysts Perception asserts a battery
of questions for Wall Street Analysts,
VC's, biotech savvy investors and
hedge fund analysts who understand
and track/invest in the CAR-T space.
