Project cover for Situational Analysis

Project overview

A BYU-Idaho project assessing GAP’s communication and brand environment through an internal audit, public-perception review, external factors, and SWOT analysis.

The challenge

The analysis considered how a familiar brand can preserve its identity while responding to changing shopping habits, competition, and expectations around digital experiences and sustainability.

Strategy & execution

I organized secondary research into an internal audit and reviews of positive, negative, and mixed public perceptions. I then summarized external factors and strategic considerations in a SWOT framework.

Selected deliverables

  • Client background and brand context
  • Internal assets and gaps audit
  • Public-perception summary
  • External factors review
  • SWOT analysis

Results & context

The project is an analysis, not a campaign. It documents the brand context and opportunities for further strategic work.
