Positioning Scenarios - After collection and analysis of customer input, we
begin to form a coherent picture of positioning. We advance different plausible
scenarios for Brand Positioning, focusing on customers' "mental shorthand" - their
tendency to simplify brand differentiation in the broadest terms possible.
Scenario Evaluation - We then weigh the implications of each scenario,
test their pros and cons, their relative probability of
success and the resources required to execute them properly.
Recommendation - We then select the winning Brand Positioning, the final result
of the Positioning
Sequence, provide a Brand Positioning evaluation, and offer preliminary strategic
recommendations for the Brand Program Sequence.
Positioning Scenarios are given nicknames that emphasize their uniqueness in a
competitive context. >
