The functionality of a product is
often considered table stakes
More is demanded of a brand than ever before
The functionality of a product is
often considered table stakes
More is demanded of a brand than ever before
But the emotional component
is what can distinguish a brand
It is often a good idea to have both
the functional and the emotional
Emotional brands can use functional claims as well

New brands can
create new positioning,
since there are no
associations with
the brand
Beats by Dre was able to
successfully launch around
sexiness and style, which were
not key considerations in the
headphone market
But existing brands
can also change
positioning if they
embrace change and
are willing to think
outside the box
Volvo was able to shift
from being around safety
to also now being about
sexy and stylish

measure unconscious
responses, as
neuroscience or facial
recognition can do
