Corporate Marketing Perception & Impact Survey
Gauges how customers and prospects actually experience a company's marketing — which channels land, whether the message is clear and differentiated, and how the brand's qualities come across. An AI follow-up interview digs into the 'why' behind clarity and differentiation scores instead of stopping at the number.

Here's a sample of our current marketing copy. Please highlight any phrases that stood out to you — good or bad.
(Replace with your own headline and paragraph of marketing copy here. Template note: swap in the actual homepage headline, ad snippet, or email subject line you want tested.)
Based purely on the marketing you've seen — not your experience as a customer — how likely are you to recommend (Company Name) to a colleague?
In your own words, what's the one thing you'd tell a friend (Company Name) is known for?
Focus on why the respondent rated message clarity and differentiation the way they did. If either score was low, probe what specifically confused them or which competitor's messaging they'd compare it to unfavorably. If both scores were high, ask which exact phrase, image, or channel made the message land, and whether they can repeat it back in their own words. Tie the discussion back to the channel(s) they said they noticed earlier, and if they said they 'haven't noticed any' marketing, explore what would have gotten their attention.
Which best describes your role in relation to (Company Name)?

How it compares
We reviewed the closest templates from other survey tools. Here’s what they do well — and where this template goes further.
Why this template
- Includes an AI follow-up interview that specifically probes the 'why' behind clarity and differentiation ratings, rather than stopping at a numeric score
- Combines channel-recall, opinion-scale, matrix, and MaxDiff questions to triangulate which marketing touchpoints land and which brand qualities come through
- Uses a text-highlight exercise so respondents mark exact phrases in real marketing copy that stand out or confuse, giving word-level diagnostic detail
- Captures role and organization-size context so results can be segmented by customer vs. prospect and by company size, then rolls everything into an auto-generated report
QuestionPro
Corporate Marketing Evaluation Survey TemplateA fielding-ready template aimed at evaluating how a company's marketing is perceived, covering similar ground to ours (message clarity, channel reach, brand perception). It's a static questionnaire built on QuestionPro's broad survey platform rather than one built specifically around adaptive follow-up probing. Good general-purpose option if you just need standard cross-tab reporting.
What it does well
- Purpose-built for corporate marketing perception, so questions map closely to this use case
- Backed by QuestionPro's mature survey platform with broad question-type and reporting support
- Likely supports large-sample distribution and standard analytics dashboards
Where it falls short
- No adaptive AI interview to dig into the 'why' behind a clarity or differentiation score — respondents just submit a static form
- No voice AI interview option or guided screen-share tasks
- No published per-response quality scoring or transparent prompt methodology
Jotform
New Year's Marketing Campaign Evaluation FormThis is a lightweight form for rating a specific seasonal marketing campaign rather than a general brand-marketing-perception study, so it's narrower in scope than our template. It's a ready-to-use Jotform form built on their drag-and-drop builder, useful for quick campaign feedback but not designed for ongoing brand tracking. Treat it as a campaign-level check-in rather than a full perception/impact survey.
What it does well
- Quick to deploy and customize using Jotform's drag-and-drop form builder
- Simple, short format likely to yield high completion rates for a single campaign check-in
- Easy to embed and share via Jotform's existing distribution tools
Where it falls short
- Scoped to a single campaign rather than overall brand marketing perception across channels
- No adaptive AI or voice interview to follow up on open-ended or scaled responses
- No automated quality scoring or transparent, publishable interview prompts
