About the study

Discover the intangible power that makes brands stand out

What makes a brand appealing, distinctive, irreplaceable, or inspiring? That elusive je ne sais quoi that creates lasting connections with consumers. At Leger, we call it Brand Aura.

The Brand Aura Effect explores what makes brands resonate with Canadian consumers. Based on an evaluation of more than 200 brands across 29 product categories, the study identifies six dimensions of brand aura and 20 key drivers that shape consumer perceptions, emotions, preferences, and loyalty.

Through competitive benchmarks and actionable insights, the study helps organizations understand what drives brand choice, strengthen their brand’s appeal, and build lasting relationships with consumers.

Six Dimensions of Brand Appeal

Leger’s Brand Aura Effect measures the power of brand appeal through six complementary dimensions:

  • Desirability: Appeal beyond price and availability.
  • Distinctiveness: What sets a brand apart from competitors.
  • Curiosity: The interest a brand sparks.
  • Irreplaceability: The difficulty of finding an equivalent brand.
  • Resonance: Alignment with consumers’ values, identities, and aspirations.
  • Pride: The pride consumers feel when choosing a brand.

During our November 25, 2026 webinar at 12 p.m. ET, we’ll explore the six dimensions of Brand Aura and uncover what drives lasting consumer connections. Don’t miss out!

“Not every brand decision needs a large-scale brand equity study. Sometimes, what organizations need most is a clear, focused understanding of where to act next. The Brand Aura Effect offers a more agile and accessible approach, delivering insights that can directly inform an upcoming marketing campaign, shape a product strategy, or help prioritize investments in the months ahead. It’s about turning consumer perceptions into concrete opportunities for growth.”
