Brand positioning strategy

Is your corporate brand reputation competitive? Let’s boost growth and profitability based on a strong brand positioning.

Our approach

Positioning or repositioning a brand requires a systematic process that begins with comprehensive market research to understand the current brand perception, target audiences, and detailed competitive positioning. This data forms the foundation for a winning (re-)positioning strategy. The next step is to define the unique value proposition of the brand, focusing on what differentiates it from competitors (USPs) and how it resonates with the target audience’s needs and desires. The brand’s vision, mission & purpose statements may also need to be revised to align with the new positioning. With the redefined brand proposition, the company develops a messaging strategy that communicates the brand’s new identity and value clearly and compellingly. This messaging is then disseminated across all marketing materials, channels & campaigns, ensuring consistency in voice and visual elements to reinforce the new brand positioning.
It is also important to engage with key stakeholders, such as employees, partners, and existing customers, to introduce the newly positioned brand and ensure their buy-in and support.

Results to expect

A (re-) positioning has impact on many success critical metrics of an organization. Progress is typically monitored and measured against predefined metrics such as brand awareness, brand perception in key positioning dimensions, market share, customer feedback, and sales figures. This evaluation helps in fine-tuning the strategy and making adjustments as necessary. The repositioning effort is an ongoing cycle of implementation, feedback, and refinement to establish the brand’s new place in the market firmly.
