Dave ChaffeyA strong brand positioning is vital for a brand to differentiate from its competitors to explain its benefits. It’s best to think of it from the audiences perspective.
Brand positioning has been defined by Kotler and Armstrong as
“The act of designing the company’s offering and image to occupy a distinctive place in the mind of the target market”. In other words, brand positioning describes how a brand is different from its competitors and where, or how, it sits in customers’ minds”.
Brand positioning can be further defined using brand tone-of-voice.
Practical options for copy to summarize the positioning in a strapline or tagline shown in these brand positioning examples include a :
- Focus on the benefits
- Focus on the consumer
- Focus on how the company does business
- Focus on the competitors
