hypothesis
Fear to differentiate is the primary driver of mediocrity for brands in the market.
As if brands lost their guts and courage to stand out and stand for something crisp.

“2,500 brands we studied over three years time, where almost 70% were stagnant or declining in differentiation”
“ Positioning guru Jack Trout and Kevin Clancyʼs research found that brand differentiation declined in 40 of 46 categories as studied by Copernicus/Market Facts.”
“Only 7% of prime time commercials were found to have differentiating messages.”
lack of differentiation

lack of courageBrands have increasing difficulty in differentiating themselves.
The only way they can create a realizable competitive advantage is by having a distinctive point of view.
However stepping outside of the norms is highly risky.
There is safety in being in the pack.
Courage means confronting the anxiety that goes with difficult choices and then committing to the ideas that ensue.
