Q

The strategic square

A
  • Out of every 100 companies:
    1 should play defense
    2 should play offense
    3 should flank
    And 94 should be guerrillas.

Defense: Only for market leaders
Introduce new products and services
Block strong competitive moves by copying them rapidly

Offense: Consider the strength of the leader position.
Launch an attack on as narrow a front as possible, preferably with a single product
Launch the attack at the leader’s weakest position

Flanking: Make moves into uncontested areas.
Use surprise. Too much research wastes precious time.
Keep up the pursuit, too many companies quit when they’re ahead.

Guerrilla:
Find a market segment small enough to defend.
Never act like a leader, no matter how successful you’re.
Be prepared to abandon the market or product at a moment’s notice.

21
Q

The Integration Triangle

A

SAY (Planned messages) -> DO (Product, service messages) ->CONFIRM (Unplanned messages
- The integration triangle is a simple illustration of how perceptions are created from the various brand message sources. Planned messages are say messages, what companies say about themselves. Product and service messages are do messages because they represent what a company does. Unplanned messages are confirm messages because that’s what others say and confirm (or not) about what the company says and does.

  • Constructive integration occurs when a brand does what its maker says it will do and then others confirm that it delivers on its promises.
