For the purposes of this sample report, we have
not used the names of the three countries analyzed.
Based on analysis by Perception Metrics*, the following
sample report provides a detailed overview of the Country
A brand. By isolating and measuring the messages used
to describe a nation, the brand identity of the nation
can be analyzed. Analyzing the media discussion surrounding
a nation allows for a better understanding of the risks
it faces, the strengths it possesses and the environment

allows for messaging and public diplomacy to be pursued
with greater precision to achieve the ultimate level
of relevance in contemporary discussion.

world newspapers published in May and June 2008; articles
mentioned Country A, Country B or Country C.
