- The Case Against Brand Positioning
June 19, 2007 5:30pm
Brand Positioning has been at the heart of marketing strategy for
decades. But in today’s marketplace, positioning does more harm than
good. It limits opportunities for growth. As marketers, we must realize
that consumers are able to handle more complex messages than they were
back in the 60’s and 70’s. Affixing our brand to a single adjective
locks us into a dumbed-down, static position in an increasingly dynamic
world.
Dan Carlton and Dave Alsobrooks discussion will explore how some of
today’s most successful Renaissance Brands enjoy explosive sales growth
by taking a fluid (and sometimes, experimental) approach to how they
market their products and services.
