What is brand positioning?

Brand positioning is the process of establishing the identity and value of a product or service in the minds of the consumer. It is important for an organisation to have a strong brand positioning as it helps customers to recognise and remember the brand, differentiate it from its competitors, and develop loyalty and trust.

Brand positioning helps to define the organisation’s purpose and values, and can also be used to establish a competitive advantage. It is an essential part of an organisation’s overall marketing strategy, as it helps to inform the overall brand experience and create a lasting impression on customers.

What is a brand positioning statement?

A brand positioning statement is like a lighthouse, guiding customers towards the value that a brand can offer. It’s a beacon of words, pulling together the brand’s value proposition in a succinct way. Crafting a brand positioning statement is an art, balancing aspiration and reality to create a clear roadmap for customers to navigate. It’s an integral part of any brand’s marketing strategy, providing a clear direction for the brand to move forward.

When creating a brand positioning statement, we’d help you to consider the following:

• Who are we talking to?
• What is your product or service category?
• What is the benefit of your product or service?
• How can we substantiate that?

Working with a brand positioning agency like ourselves can help answer these questions, and bring an outside view and rationale to the answers.

Companies with a clear value proposition set themselves apart from competitors, but more importantly provides their brand’s value to customers.

What makes an effective brand position?

When we’re developing a brand positioning we look for five things. Is it:

1. memorable
2. distinctive
3. relevant
4. emotionally resonant
5. reflective of core values

To use the brand positioning effectively it needs to be communicated clearly, frequently and consistently across all channels.
