Obvion Mortgages, a subsidiary of Rabobank, is a mortgage lender with over 630 employees, operating from Heerlen. Obvion does everything it can to make people's housing dreams come true. When consumers take out a mortgage with Obvion, this is always done through selected independent advisors.
With campaigns such as "Mortgages with a conscience" and "How do you want to live?", Obvion wants to focus on the customer and the situation in which the customer finds themselves. The message to consumers is that Obvion is a specialist in quality and service, rather than just offering the lowest interest rates. Obvion wants to be a party that helps customers realize their wishes (dreams of living), not only now but also in the future.
Obvion would like to identify and monitor the effects on the various KPIs through research.

Markteffect has been conducting the brand tracker for Obvion since 2011. On a continuous basis, weekly to monthly, Obvion's performance in the mortgage market is measured. The results compare 1) the whole of the Netherlands, 2) the communication target group, and 3) the marketing target group. The marketing target group is then further subdivided into a primary target group and a secondary target group.
Every week/month, the fixed KPIs are measured and compared with previous measurements by means of developments over time. The results are compared with the marketing efforts to see which means has the greatest effect. In addition, we offer our clients the option of adding an ad hoc section, in which the client can include a few questions each month that are relevant to them at that time.
“At Obvion, I have always been able to rely on Markteffect expertise to execute and monitor the development of our brand. Our market researcher Mirjam is a real expert in her field. She is familiar with the various research methods and is always willing to delve deeper into a question. In addition, Markteffect is a extremely flexible organization and you always feel welcome there. An organization with a passion for its customers, a real warm bath.”

To give you a good idea of how market research works in practice and what it can deliver for you, we have put together a few interesting case studies. You may recognize some of the issues, for example, because you have encountered them within your own organization.
