At its core, positioning is unpacking the white space opportunity the brand should own and putting clear definition behind it. That white space comes from the culmination of the company conscience, cultural forces, competitor mapping and consumer/customer demand.
The most sound positioning is on demand, on trend, on brand, but NOT on competitors.
After an early surge of growth began cooling off, an emerging yet powerful player in the baby monitor space looked to shift from pushing product at parents to building a user-centered brand that meant something more.
Through deep qualitative research, I discovered untapped and deeply emotional white space - everybody's focused on the baby, but nobody's taking care of the parents. What if this brand wasn't about keeping babies safe? What if it was about supporting parents on the most exciting yet disruptive journey of their lives? Quantitative segmentation and targeting confirmed this hypothesis. This drove a fresh brand strategy to relaunch a supportive, genuine, lifestyle brand that parents want to identify with.
The largest privately held solar company had grown almost entirely via acquisition. But, it had dreams to unite all of its customers through a single brand that meant something more than the company that sends you a bill every month.
Through extensive research, I unpacked the Jobs to Be Done that drive people to invest in solar panels, then paired this learning with competitive intel and company strengths. This unpacked a huge tension between the Jobs that people want solar panels to serve and what solar companies communicate. It's not just about saving money. It's not just about the badge value associated with having solar panels on a roof. It's about the most obvious but forgotten thing - the planet.
