Marketing Intelligence for Business Growth


AWARE specialises in competitive and marketing intelligence and are recognised as global experts in this field.

Our mission is to help organizations become the best.

To become the best does not mean copying what competitors are doing today, or did yesterday. It requires creativity and innovation - anticipating tomorrow's trends before they become today's normality - keeping several steps ahead of competitors.

  • To outwit your competitors you need to know what they are doing
  • To outmanoeuvre them, you need to know in which direction they are going
  • To outflank them, you need to be faster, and better so that you can overtake them, keep in front of them, and be the best.

Our services - Strategy advice, Training, Analysis and Research (STAR) are all aimed at helping companies achieve this.

AWARE Competitive Intelligence Services

We provide a variety of competitive intelligence services aimed at supporting company CI processes.

  • Competitor research will help fill gaps in your knowledge on what competitors have been doing, are doing or even could be doing. It will enable you to confirm, or deny rumours, and uncover the truth about what is happening in your competitive environment.
  • Our competitor profiles provide in-depth analysis on competitor firms, enabling you to build a complete picture that can be used in your strategic planning processes.
  • Our competitor monitoring service is aimed at helping you keep up-to-date on your competitor's activities.
  • We offer bespoke competitive intelligence training courses to help you and your team learn competitive intelligence and competitor analysis skills, train new staff or keep up to date with the latest techniques. As well as supporting clients' CI operations, our goal is to help our clients improve and build their own CI processes - so that they become self-reliant.
  • For companies starting to build a CI function, we also offer a CI Audit service, and training and support so that the new competitive intelligence department functions effectively from day one! You can also call on us for interim management solutions requiring CI expertise - for example, to set up a CI department, for a one off CI research project or to fill in for somebody who has left your employment.

As part of our mission to support organizational competitive intelligence, our site also includes a variety of resources helping you learn CI or find more information.

  • Our case studies can give an insight as to how competitive intelligence can help firms gain and maintain competitive advantage.
  • We include many articles on competitive intelligence (including a brief guide to competitor analysis) giving a greater insight into the topic.
  • An FAQ (frequently asked questions) section, giving answers to questions on the what, where, how and why of competitive intelligence and competitor analysis.
  • Tips on better practice periodically updated, focusing on competitive intelligence related topics as well as a range of marketing and strategy issues.

Finding Competitive Intelligence using Online Sources

A shortened version of AWARE's market-leading course on Finding Competitive Intelligence using Online Sources was given to attendees at the Online Information 2007 conference as a masterclass. The full workshop was given as part of the SCIP Europe conference in Bad Nauheim, Germany, and as a pre-conference workshop at the annual SCIP conference in San Diego, California, in April 2008.

This workshop has received high praise for its unique approach to finding competitive intelligence on the Internet, and has been given at workshops and conferences across the globe! The workshop - available as a half-day or full day in-house training course - teaches attendees how to find actionable competitive intelligence rather than just present a list of sources that quickly date.
