Brand Awareness Calculator

Measure aided or unaided brand awareness as a share of the surveyed target audience.

About Brand Awareness Calculator

The awareness level is the share of total respondents surveyed that respondents aware of the brand represents, expressed as a percentage. The same figure is also shown per 1,000 and as a "one in every N" odds statement, which is easier to reason about when the rate is very small. Absolute counts hide scale — a rate normalises the number so you can compare periods, channels or cohorts of different sizes, where higher is better.

Formula
