THE POTENTIAL AND UNINTENDED CONSEQUENCE OF PURSUING SALIENCE ALONE
VALUABLE BRANDS HAVE FIVE KEY PROPERTIES
Consumers feel an
affinity for them
Consumers feel they will
perform well and
meet their needs
They are seen as different
or unique in the category
They are dynamic and set category
trends
They are top of mind to consumers
