The 50 parameters behind MegaBrands power 20 models

The same primary assessment that places a brand in the MegaBrands universe powers the WCRC Brand & Marketing Codex: twenty proprietary models that show where a brand leads, where it leaks and what to fix first.

One assessment, twenty readings

Every paid MegaBrands engagement is fully primary-assessed on WCRC's 50-point questionnaire and a video interview, and benchmarked against five named competitors. The Codex reads those 50 answers through twenty models, from the Brand Power Index to the CMO Boardroom Scorecard.

Recognition in MegaBrands stays free and separate. The Codex is part of the paid research and intelligence.
