BRAND POSITIONING: WHAT’S NEW, WHAT’S NOT

April 2015

BRAND POSITIONING WHAT’S NEW? WHAT’S CHANGED?

WHAT ARE CURRENT TRENDS?

WHAT HASN’T CHANGED?

WHAT’S WORKED FOR ME

SO WHAT’S CHANGED?

•  Speed or velocity of change overall

•  Rapidly changing technologies and the

impact people make by using them

•  New markets emerging and accessible

•  Rapidly changing, shifting competitive

environments

MACRO FACTORS AFFECTING BRAND POSITIONING

TOO MANY CHOICES, CATEGORY BOUNDARIES BLUR

CONSUMERS (AND PATIENTS) DEMANDING MORE TRANSPARENCY

THE ERA OF AGILE MARKETING

“Positioning is not what you do to a product. Positioning is what you do to the mind of the prospect. That is, you position (place) the product in the mind of the prospect.”

COVER CHANGED, BUT NOT MUCH OF THE CONTENT

“This book is essentially an update of a classic that Trout

wrote with his earlier partner Al Ries entitled Positioning

- The Battle for Your Mind (Warner Books, 1981). This

new book takes the original ideas of the old one, and

reinforces them with some more current examples as

well as the empirical results of research.”
