Creating a clear, ownable and authentic market position
Using brand positioning to drive market differentiation
Brand positioning is your organisation’s place in the market relative to your competitors. It creates clean air for your brand, expresses your point of difference and provides the foundation for your purpose and character.
A clear positioning acts as your brand promise, can help rally your people, and attracts the brightest and the best. It helps shape and guide brand decision making, provides an anchor point for evaluating merger and acquisition opportunities, and a framework for creating and operating your portfolio of products and services.
A clear and concise brand positioning:
Provides powerful competitive advantage
Allows you to stand out in cluttered categories
Sustains your ability for premium pricing
Is relatable to clients
Is authentic for employee and targets
Drives, and does not stifle, future brand growth.

Generating competitive advantage through brand and market positioning
Defining where you are now in your market
The first step is to identify where you are. Where do you think your organisation sits in the market? Where are you competitors? Are you all too close? And do your clients and customers believe that your organisation of today aligns to your brand positioning of yesterday?
Through market mapping and the qualitative and quantitative research of clients, customers and the wider market, we can determine your current market positioning. This sizes the task – does your positioning need refinement or recreation?
