Who're you kidding, I know you hate your ad agency (yeah, I said that out-loud). I hear it all the time—you're stuck in a room with a bunch of posers winging it, drowning in red-tape—on your dime. I get it. I get you, I get your brand, and I get what it takes to create it, position it, and market it. So, if you're looking for more rigmarole—go back to your sandwich, but if you're looking for the real thing—give me a call.
This is gonna be great.
STRATEGIC BRAND POSITIONING
Behind every successful brand is a single idea the distinguishes it from the crowd. A brand embodies everything from the story it tells and the promises it keeps, to the ideas it inspires and the emotions it ignites. Properly managed, a brand is able to increase its impact and become memorable. When positioned successfully, a brand develops affinity, trust, and allegiance in the heart and mind of its target audience—inspiring action and driving real results.
