Forget Brand Preference, Win the Brand Relevance War
Most marketing efforts do nothing to change the marketplace. To achieve real growth it is necessary to innovate to create “must haves” that define new subcategories. That involves some new challenges including building barriers and managing the new subcategories.
In this speech, David will discuss his brand relevance model in which innovative offerings form categories and subcategories that provide dramatic opportunities for brand teams to lead the market. Relevance is a threat as well as an opportunity. David will discuss three relevance threats and how to counter them.
Through compelling B-to-B case studies, including SalesForce.com and GE, David will show how brands that can create and manage new categories or subcategories and make competitors irrelevant will prosper.
