A strong brand positioning forms the strategic backbone that sets the tone for all that you do.
Brand
positioning answers the following questions:
- We are losing share in the market, how can we create a
compelling, and ownable positioning to differentiate ourselves?
- How can we future-proof our brand?
- What are our target consumers looking for today and in the
future? How can we best position ourselves to best meet their changing needs?
Our typical solution
includes four stages:
- Brand & Strategy Audit: We review all
existing brand assets and research, assess competitors and conduct stakeholder interviews to
provide an initial assessment of the state of the brand and competitors. This helps us uncover
where we want to dig in the research.
- Qualitative Exploration: We use primary
qualitative research (online communities, IDIs, or qual groups) to understand consumers
associations, perceptions, and attitudes. From this, we'll identify prioritized positioning
territories to validate in the quant research.
- Quantitative Validation: We conduct an online
survey to quantitatively test positionings and gather customer input to bring the positioning to
life.
- Synthesis & Activation: We integrate all
phases of research to develop a compelling positioning that we'll workshop with a
cross-functional team to refine. Once we refine the positioning, we'll ideate on ways we can
activate the positioning across key markets.
