Workshop - Crafting an Effective Brand Positioning Strategy

"We over-invested in digital advertising" - Simon Peel, Global Media Director, Adidas, 2019

Like Adidas, many brands are increasingly realizing the mistake of over-spending on short term sales led digital advertising and performance marketing at the expense of long-term brand building.

According to WARC Marketer's Toolkit Survey 2020, 70% of the marketers they spoke to agreed that they had over-invested in performance at the expense of brand, and 'short-termism' was identified as their number one industry issue.

There is enough research & data suggesting that maintaining a healthy balance between long-term brand building and short-term sales tactics is crucial in creating successful brands.

In a hyper fragmented media landscape, where we wake up almost every day to a new meme or a Tik Tok viral video, it's crucial that all the digital & social campaigns from a brand (across mediums & platforms) emerge from a culture & consumer relevant brand positioning strategy.

In this workshop, you will learn how to build a meaningful & effective brand positioning strategy, which will become the springboard for everything the brand does in short-term and long-term across platforms & mediums.
