Product or brand positioning is an important strategy for achieving differential advantage. Positioning reflects the "place" a brand occupies in a market or segment. A successful brand position has characteristics that are both differentiating and important to consumers.
Our positioning process is predicated on understanding everything about your brand, where it's been and where it's headed. The resulting naming process is based on a forward-looking positioning strategy that takes into account your brand, your competition, and your entire sector.
While it's important to understand what competitors are doing in order to act in a distinctive and powerful way, it's also useful to learn from their mistakes and successes.
