Kantar · BrandZ: Brand value means the estimated financial value of a brand. Kantar found 5× the growth for brands people saw as relevant, different, and easy to remember. This does not mean 5× the sales or that changing a logo alone caused the growth.
McKinsey · 2018: Researchers followed 300 public companies in three industries for five years. The top 25% for design had revenue growth 32 percentage points above industry benchmarks. To explain the unit: 42% growth versus 10% growth is a 32-point difference. Design here includes products, services, and customer experience, not just appearance. The study found a link, not proof that design alone caused the growth.
Invoca · 2026: A survey of 693 U.S. buyers across seven industries, conducted May 8 to 22, 2026. These buyers had made purchases that required careful consideration. The number describes what buyers said they would do, not measured lost sales.
U.S. Census Bureau · May 2026: 19.8% of businesses with employees reported using AI in the two weeks ending May 3, 2026. That leaves about 80% reporting no use during that period. It does not mean they had never used AI.
These studies looked at different groups of businesses and buyers. They are not Vision Quest client results. Your results will vary.
