Victory Branding Announces Partnership With Marketing Sciences and Research Firm SanCorp LLC

BRUNSWICK, Maine, December 29, 2005 – David Vazdauskas, president and founder of the brand consultancy Victory Branding, announced today that the firm has formed a strategic partnership with Lexington, Massachusetts-based SanCorp, LLC. Sancorp provides marketing sciences and market research services to clients in a broad spectrum of industries.

“By partnering with SanCorp, Victory Branding is now able to offer clients a unique blend of brand strategy and sophisticated marketing sciences,” said Mr. Vazdauskas. “SanCorp has expertise in a wide array of vital marketing analytics, including customer segmentation, decision-modeling, demand estimation and qualitative research analysis.”

Abhijit Sanyal, founder of SanCorp, is a marketing sciences veteran who has consulted with clients within the pharmaceutical, bio-tech, media, entertainment and financial services industries. His clients have included Pfizer, CitiGroup, The Walt Disney Company and the Chicago Tribune.

“We are very excited about this opportunity to partner with Victory Branding,” said Dr. Sanyal. “Branding is becoming an increasingly complex discipline that requires both market knowledge and strategic vision. The combined expertise of our two firms can help clients achieve unique insights into their branding opportunities and challenges.”

As part of the strategic partnership, Victory Branding and SanCorp have developed Channel Matrix, an analytical tool that helps clients understand how customers migrate across marketing and sales channels – for example, from catalog to online shopping, or from single-channel to multi-channel users. “The Channel Matrix tool helps clients better predict channel migration and create targeted messages at a very vulnerable point – the time at which customers are shifting channel preferences and being exposed to a new set of brand choices.”
