Japanese term

イメージ総量

Japanese to English Marketing Food & Drink
When marketing a product, one measure of brand image is イメージ総量 (the total number of images held by consumers about a certain brand). Does anyone know an English term for this?

"Gross image" springs to mind--probably not a good choice!

I found this explanation online:

イメージ総量という言葉を学びました。 イメージ総量というのは、例えばベルルッティというブランドに対して抱く印象の種類の数、ということになります。色、高貴、セレブ、模様、匂い、、、が思い浮かんだら、5個の総量になります。

I can understand the meaning, I just can't locate the English term.

Thank you.

Maybe "total number of elements a brand is associated with"? 総量 is a total number of something countable.
Please scroll down to see "brand elements" in the link below:

re:総 of 総量... Spot-on term selection and great background source choice; but 総量seems to convey something much larger than just a score. (still searching for it...) along the line of ... the extent to which a brand stands out, through the wealth of the associations it triggers, by its relevance and depth of appeal to the multiple dimensions of human experience and aspirations. ( ..still looking for a better term for this 総..., though :-) )

Thanks for your answer. I'm using the term brand touchpoint for 「ブランドとの接点」.
