TOM

Top of Mind

The percentage of respondents who name a brand first when asked about a category without any prompts.

Why it matters

The most stringent measure of brand position in the customer's mind. In habitual purchase categories, the first association often wins the sale.

What's missing without it

Without TOM, brand recognition can be high while having zero presence in purchase decisions.

When it is used

In brand research, evaluation of long-term image-building efforts.

How we use it

“Which company comes to mind when you think of insurance?” — the first brand mentioned.
