Winners of the Kantar TNS Choice Awards are determined by using data from Kantar TNS’s multi-client research programs. These large-scale market intelligence programs evaluate the competitive momentum of individual financial services firms. The results are determined using several different metrics, each providing an indication of how individual firms are performing vis-à-vis their competitors. Using all of these measures, Kantar TNS calculates an overall “Competitive Momentum Score.” The awards go to the providers with the highest scores.

These research programs also diagnose what is driving marketplace momentum through an assessment of each firm’s customer experience, brand health, and marketing effectiveness.

“In today’s economy, achieving growth often requires taking market share away from competitors. In this regard, the companies we’re recognizing today are best in class. This success requires doing many things well – having the right products, offering the right customer experience, building a distinctive brand and communicating a credible and compelling message. The Kantar TNS Choice Awards are not about doing one thing well; they are about putting many elements together in a way that yields success in the marketplace,” said Chuck White, Senior Vice President at Kantar TNS and Manager of the Kantar TNS Choice Awards.
