78 Examples of Brand Positioning

 , updated on
Brand positioning is a strategy that aims to give a brand a unique identity in the minds of customers relative to other brands in the market. This can be a concrete thing such as quality, functions, features or product performance. Alternatively, brand positioning is an experience thing such as a bank that's friendly and helpful.
