Abstract:
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to offer a perspective of brand-based analysis on green brand positioning differentiation through a network analysis approach. Design/methodology/approach This study employs centrality and distinctiveness as bases to develop a matrix framework of green brand positioning differentiation. The two dimensions are measured from the techniques of network analysis, including analysis of the core-periphery structure and adjacency matrix. Findings The results yield four clusters with different positions in a 2×2 matrix, including 23 core brands with high-positioning distinctiveness, ten core brands with low-positioning distinctiveness, ten peripheral brands with high-positioning distinctiveness, and seven peripheral brands with low-positioning distinctiveness. Research limitations/implications The results contribute to providing brand researchers with different analytical perspectives on the existing knowledge about green brand positioning and offer strategic positioning information for green brand practitioners. Originality/value This research contributes to the literature in three ways. First, this research is a first attempt to offer a brand-based perspective on differentiation of green brand positioning. Second, this research advances the existing knowledge that uses network analysis on green brand positioning by offering different techniques for brand differentiation analysis. Finally, this research complements the strategic positioning information of the current business environment in the context of green branding.

Abstract:
Purpose – Cobranding is increasingly popular as a strategy for commercial success. Brand positioning strategies are central to marketing, yet the impact of perceptions of parent brands’ positioning on consumers’ perceptions of cobrand positioning has not been investigated. The aim of the present study is to fill this gap. Design/methodology/approach – Employing a quasi-experimental design, the authors create cobranding scenarios in three product categories (tablet computers, cosmetics, and smart phones). The data are collected via structured questionnaires resulting in 160 valid responses. The data are analyzed employing Partial Least Squares-based Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM), and consumer evaluation of cobrands is tested in relationship to the prior positioning of the parent brands, product fit and brand fit, along with post-alliance positioning perceptions of the partner brands. Findings – The results confirm brand positioning as a robust indicator of consumer evaluation of cobrands. Positioning perceptions of partner brands are positively related to cobrand positioning perceptions. In addition, pre-alliance positioning significantly relate to post-alliance positioning, confirming cobranding as a viable strategy for partner brands. Research limitations/implications – The paper recommends research that could reveal the impact of differential brand equities of partner brands, such as, between a high-equity brand and a low/moderate-equity brand, mixed brand alliances – product/service; service/service, and at different levels of partner brand familiarity. Practical implications – Managers should design cobrand positioning based on existing positioning perceptions of the partner brands, rather than focussing on product fit and brand fit. Originality/value – The study demonstrates the focal role of positioning strategies of partner brands in consumer evaluation of cobrands.

Abstract:
To understand how brand love can be created, this study examines the effect of brand positioning strategies (benefit brand positioning strategy, feature brand positioning strategy and surrogate brand positioning strategy) on brand love, by conceptualizing brand positioning effectiveness as a mediator. The proposed conceptual model was empirically studied with the responses of 607 young consumers from private universities in Pakistan. This study finds evidence of complementary mediation of brand positioning effectiveness between brand positioning strategies, and brand love in the context of high street fashion retail brands. For the brand managers, this study implies that the development of an interpersonal consumer-brand bond can be developed by employing benefit brand positioning strategy, surrogate brand positioning strategy and feature brand positioning strategy. This, as a result, also indicates the effectiveness of all three of these brand positioning strategies.

Abstract:
Purpose Brand managers can choose among two fundamentally different brand positioning strategies. One is a broad brand strategy, focusing on many favorable brand associations. The other is a narrow brand strategy, focusing on just a few and thus more mentally accessible associations. Building on associative memory theory, this paper aims to examine which of these brand positioning strategies performs better under dynamic market conditions. Design/methodology/approach Three experiments test the effect of brand positioning strategy on memory accessibility and competitive brand performance. Study 1 tests how brand strategy (broad vs narrow) affects defensive brand performance. Study 2 tests how broad vs narrow brands perform differently in a brand extension scenario (offensive brand performance). Study 3 uses real brands and situation-based attributes as stimuli in a defensive scenario. Findings The results show that a narrow brand positioning strategy leads to a competitive advantage. Narrow brands with fewer and more accessible associations resist new competitors more easily and have higher brand extension acceptance than do broad brands. Research limitations/implications The study shows how to use accessibility as evidence of associative strength and test how accessibility influences competitive brand performance in a controlled experimental context. Practical implications Brand managers would benefit from a narrow brand positioning strategy in accordance with the unique selling proposition (USP) school of thought used by many marketing practitioners. Originality/value The paper demonstrates that narrow brand positioning performs better than broad brand positioning in dynamic markets, and to the knowledge is the first to do so.

Abstract:
The article deals with positioning as an effective branding tool. The classification of positioning, approaches and types to the formation of the image and image of the brand are considered. The main stages of brand creation, the key and most used types of strategies in brand management are considered. Examples of positioning of world brands - leaders in their industries are given. The importance of developing a competent slogan as an important element in the development of a strong brand is considered separately. Brand positioning is a special marketing strategy, the main task of which is to distinguish the company from competitors and to build special trusting relationships with consumers. When developing a brand strategy, leading brands pay special attention to brand positioning, since a competent development and approach to positioning improves brand perception by consumers, directly affects the recognition of a product or product line, and provides feedback to consumers.

Abstract:
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to identify the location of sport brands in sport consumers’ minds using a perceptual map of multiple positions; and examine whether there is congruence between the sport brands’ purported images and the targeted consumers’ perception of the brands’ images. Design/methodology/approach A mixed method was used. Four steps of data collections (i.e. face-to-face, focus group interviews, and questionnaires) and analyses (i.e. content analysis, MDS analysis, PROXSCAL analysis, multiple regressions analysis, frequency analysis, and congruence score) were performed. Findings Four positioning typologies (i.e. great quality equipment, equipment for professionals, innovation, and tradition) were identified; each brand’s positions in consumers’ minds were distinctly portrayed in the perceptual map; and the congruence between intended and perceived positions was found in two brands – Titleist and Ping – implying they established a high position-congruity and providing evidence of positioning effectiveness. Practical implications The findings will aid practitioners and scholars in positioning and its effectiveness: the results provide information for managers to select, implement, and manage effective positioning strategies and the study provides initial evidence about whether companies and their brands are well-positioned in the sport consumer’s perception. Originality/value The authors attempt to examine how consumers perceive brands and how effectively brand positions are portrayed in consumers’ minds. The effectiveness and competitiveness of positioning strategies were examined via a perceptional map.

Abstract:
Brand positioning is a core concept in marketing. Despite the importance of the concept however, there is limited research in the field of positioning clarifying to what extent various brand positioning alternatives affect consumer perceptions and how positioning effectiveness can be best measured. The present dissertation consists of three complementary empirical studies aimed at shedding light on the latter issues. The first study explores the impact of distinct types of brand positioning strategies on consumer categorization processes. The results of the qualitative study provide evidence that consumers categorize brands based upon their underlying positioning strategies. More specifically, consumers classify brands that share similar types of positioning bases into the same category.The current study is about consumer’s involvement in brand positioning in dairy product categories. To identify the similarities and differences among the consumers’ perceptions of brand positioning, four major of Avin are taken into consideration. These are chosen to examine the relation between consumer involvement and brand positioning with their respective competitors- Thirumala Milk, Hatsun dairy, Arokya Milk, Raaj Milk and GRB dairy in the market.To ascertain the scale’s generalizability and stability, data from several product categories are used for scale development and validation purposes. The third study presented in this dissertation pays attention to the open question whether the use of certain positioning strategies (e,g., feature-based positioning ). For this purpose, a within and between-subjects design study in conducted that investigated the direct impact of brand positioning strategies on positioning effectiveness, measured from a consumer perspective. Specifically, four distinct positioning strategies of real brands are evaluated in terms of positioning effectiveness, while controlling for brand-specific, product class-specific, and socio demographic influences. Consistent with the hypotheses derived from a comprehensive literature review, significant difference in terms of positioning effectiveness between the focal positioning strategies are detected. The dissertation concludes with a discussion of the theoretical, methodological, and managerial implication. Furthermore, the limitations associated with the studies outlined in the dissertation are addressed and resulting avenues for future research are presented.

The purpose of this paper is to expand the domain of brand positioning measurement by demonstrating how network analysis techniques are used in brand positioning research. Using 12 sample brands in the electronic industry, this paper proposes a four-step process as a practical guide in analysing the effects of brand positioning on differentiation. Through the techniques of core-periphery structure, the paper creates four clusters to reveal differentiation of brand positioning. It provides clear arguments for using network analysis as the preferred method to capture the structure of brand positioning. The results have significant theoretical and practical implications for academic researchers and practitioners in the field of brand management.

Abstract:
Marketing academics and practitioners consider brand positioning to be a key element of modern marketing management, branding, and strategy, given today's increasingly competitive marketplace. By way of its position, an offering seeks to take possession of a unique place in the minds of the targeted consumers, and in so doing, differentiates itself from the competition. Extant research confirms the importance of brand positioning, demonstrating that it positively affects, among other key factors, brand equity and value; consumer loyalty; and customer willingness to search and pay premium for a brand. market share, and the overall financial performance of the firm. Throughout the literature, various positioning typologies have been developed and used in the management and application of positioning. In addition, both firm-centred and customer-centred approaches have been adopted to evaluate the effectiveness and success of positioning strategies. Although considerable amounts of research have been devoted to the management of positioning, these efforts have focussed primarily on the positioning new offerings, re-positioning existing offerings to new target markets. However, despite the accorded importance of an offering's position in the long run, the review fails to identify research devoted to strengthening the already-established position of offerings over time. Consequently, the aim of this study is to empirically examine positioning strategies to strengthen the perceptions of the positions of existing offerings, hereby offering a proactive and deliberate approach to positioning, beyond the scope of extant research on positioning strategies. The lack of suitable theory withing the positioning literature led to a search and eventual use of the decoy effect, a phenomenon explained by theories within social and consumer psychology. In addressing the research aim, the decoy effect provides a theoretically-grounded conceptual framework to underpin the research. This framework proposes that the consumers' perception of the position of an existing offering (denoted in the study as, the Focal offering), is enhanced by the introduction of a new offering that is positioned similar yet inferior to the focal, i.e. an asymmetrically-dominated decoy (denoted as a decoy-positioned offering). This framework is empirically tested within the consumer product domain of washing detergents, and with this use of a field experiment. A 2 x 2 between-subjects design is applied to test the impact of two types of decoys (frequency and range) across two types of positioning bases (feature-, and benefit-oriented positioning). Data, collected using an electronic self-completion questionnaire from a random sample (n = 1200) of adult (18 and above) UK consumers, are analysed using analysis of covariance. The results confirm that the introduction of a decoy-positioned offering enhances the position of the focal offering across the four dimensions of perceived positioning - i.e., favourabilty, differentiation, credibility, and uniqueness. Of these dimensions, the decoy is most influential in enhancing perceived differentiation and uniqueness of the focal offering on the introduction of the decoy. Comparing the two decoys, the results show that the frequency decoy exerts a stronger impact than the range decoy on positioning perceptions. In terms of positioning bases, decoys are found more effective in the context of benefit-oriented positioning as compared to feature-oriented positioning. This study advances the literature in several ways; primarily as the first theoretically-grounded effort to examine how a brand can strengthen the position of existing offerings, thus addressing the calls for a theoretical foundation to investigate the calls for a theoretical foundation to investigate the concept of positioning. The study also demonstrates the prudence of taking into account both the specific dimension of the positioning concept, and the perceived-importance of the attributes on which an offering is positioned. To practitioners, the study provided guidance as to how the firm can strengthen the position of its existing offering amidst the competitive dynamics of today's marketplace.

Full text
Abstract:
Bakgrund: De flesta är medvetna om att vi matas med och påverkas av varumärken, men sällan om det arbete som ligger bakom ett varumärkes uppbyggnad. Därför är det av stor vikt vid varumärkesuppbyggnaden att förankra de värderingar som företaget vill positionera sig med. För att i sin position kunna differentiera sig gentemot konkurrenter med ett starkt varumärke måste företaget kommunicera samma värderingar, både i den interna och externa marknadsföringen för. Det finns de som anser att man kan utföra detta genom marknadsföring på två skilda sätt, genom att agera “marknadsförare” eller att agera “försäljare” gentemot sina kunder, där “försäljare” ofta är bättre på att skapa relationer där kunden rekommenderar företaget vidare än en “marknadsförare”. Därför finns det anledning att undersöka om företag av olika art skiljer sig i arbetet med sina kunder för att bygga upp sitt varumärke på olika sätt.   Syfte: Syftet med denna uppsats är att undersöka tjänsteproducerande företags varumärkes-positionering.     Metod: Denna studie har genomförts med en kvalitativ metod där vi har gjort en fallstudie som består av elva intervjuer med företag inom både bank och fastighetsmäklarbranschen. Vi har sedan använt oss av en tematisk analys för att finna samband och skillnader i genomförandet hos de olika branscherna.   Slutsats: I dagens konkurrensutsatta marknader har det varit svårt att positionera tjänster, där traditionella marknadsföringsaktiviteter blir mindre viktigt och det krävs att företagen arbetar för att skapa långsiktiga relationer med sina kunder. Vi finner i vår studie att den personliga kontakten blir en viktig del av att positionera de immateriella tjänsterna då ingen fysisk produkt kan visas upp eller undersökas, men att detta även skiljer sig mellan de två branscherna. Vår undersökning tyder på att dessa skillnader beror på att hos en bank köper du en tjänst och hos ett fastighetsmäklarföretag betalar du någon för att hjälpa dig med en tjänst.   Förslag till fortsatt forskning: Denna uppsats har sitt fokus på två olika branscher inom service sektorn. Genom att studera fler företag inom dessa skulle man kunna generalisera uppsatsens bidrag genom vidare forskning. Uppsatsen kan även vara en utgångspunkt i att studera fler branscher för att se vilka skillnader som finns där. Fokus har även varit med utgångspunkt ur företagens synvinkel, vidare forskning kan studera fenomenet ur kundens perspektiv.   Uppsatsens bidrag: Forskningen syfte är att bidra till en större förståelse inom företagsekonomiska områden för varumärkesuppbyggnaden inom olika branscher som kan användas av marknadsförare inom dessa branscher.
Background: Most people have awareness that we are fed with communication from and are influenced by brands, but rarely do we possess awareness surrounding the work behind brand-building. Therefore it is of great importance to the concept of brand building, to anchor the values ​​with which the company wishes to position itself. In order to position itself within the marketplace by presenting a strong brand, to differentiate itself from competitors. The company must communicate the same values, with consistency both in the internal and external marketing efforts. Some commentators have the belief that this can be accomplished by marketing, using two specific separate methods, by acting as a "marketer" or acting as a "salesman" towards customers. Within these approaches the "salesman" approach is often better at creating relationships, in which customers are more likely to recommend the company much further than if a "marketer" approach is used. Therefore, there is need to examine whether firms which differ in nature differ in their work with their clients to build their brand in different ways.   Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to examine service companies branding positioning.   Method: This study was carried out with a qualitative approach, through conducting a case study, consisting of eleven interviews with companies within banking and real estate broking markets. We then used a thematic analysis to identify correlations and differences in the implementation processes of the various businesses.   Conclusion: Todays intensive market competition has created complexity when firms attempt to position their services. A consequence is that traditional marketing activities have become less effective and it now requires that companies are working to create longer-term relationships with their customers. We conclude within our study that personal contact is an important part of positioning intangible services, when no physical product can be displayed or explored, but also that this differed between the two industries studied. Our study indicates that these differences are due to that within banking, customers purchase a service product, whereas at a real estate brokerage firm, customers pay individuals to consult and assist them with a service.   Suggestions future research: This paper focuses on two different branches of the service sector. By studying more companies within these sectors, there would be an opportunity for further generalization by undertaking further research. This paper can also be utilized as starting point in the study of more industries to see what differences exist comparatively. The Focus has been conducted from a business perspective, possible further research could be achieved by undertaking a study of the phenomenon from the customer's perspective.   Essay submissions: The research aims to contribute to a greater understanding in business administration areas for brand building within different industries, which can be used by marketers within these industries

Abstract:
Brand positioning is a process of creating an impression of a brand in the consumer’s awareness using different strategies, including prices, pro­motion, distribution, packing and competitiveness. Positioning is an act of modeling the offer and reputation of a company so that it can specially posi­tion itself in the consumer’s awareness on a target market. In order to create a positioning strategy, a brand’s unique characteristics need to be identified and what differentiates it from the competition needs to be determined. Po­sitioning calls for the identification of a target market, the identification and analysis of the competition and a brand’s optimal points of parity and points of difference. Competition can be researched from the point of view of the in­dustry (branch) and from the point of view of the market itself. Brand mantras are used to position a brand, indicating what the brand offers and for what reason it is superior in relation to other competitive brands. While standard brand positioning models are based upon detailed consumer, company and competition analyses, there are also newly appearing creative approaches to brand positioning, such as storytelling or a journalistic brand chronicle.

Abstract:
Brand represents one of the most important assets of the company. Brand-managing activities are typically related to brand positioning and integration with marketing campaigns, and can involve complex decisions. The branding of an organization is indeed a dynamic system with many cause-effect relationships as well as intangible and heterogeneous variables. In order to assess the value of individual brands can be used various models developed worldwide, based on different input data and valuation methodologies. We assume that individual environment in which company operates and consumers’ perceptions in different countries influence the ability and usability of these models in other countries. Therefore, we applied chosen well-known brand value models on the set of Slovak companies and validated their assessment ability in specific condition of the Slovak Republic. This was provided by the critical comparison of calculated values with the official values of brands of these companies listed in the Slovak journal. Through this, we pointed out the importance of the development of unique brand value model, which will be constructed in the specific condition of individual countries and highlight the weak assessment ability of foreign models.

Abstract:
With the globalization process, the concept of technology is widespread in the construction of a more simplified society (Harvey, 2008). Over time, technology evolves and transforms, during this process, communication and culture follow the changes. Companies inserted in this sociocultural network seek to communicate with the consumer, and thus the positioning is irrefutable in this marketing process. If technology, communication, and culture change and transform over time, then brand positioning must also follow this movement (Sant'Anna, 1998). Advertising uses the word technology as a sales argument and to position the brand in the minds of consumers, however, there is confusion in the representation of graphic visuality in technology companies when it comes to giving imagery meaning to the technology itself. It is believed that part of it is given by the cultural, political, and tooling aspects available for these constructions, as well as, it is intended to study the possible cause of hypertrophy of the aesthetic function in communication products, a concept addressed by Perassi (2001) when elucidating a pathology of representations that mischaracterize the referential and advertising function. Based on this context, the theme of this proposal will describe the evolution process of the graphic-symbolic communication positioning of the Multilaser technological brand, and thus analyze the changes in positioning from the perspective of design. The chosen brand brings relevance to the study because it went through historical milestones in its business and communication structure, which will contribute to the descriptive analysis of its evolution. The company was founded in Brazil in 1987. It started operating in the printer and photocopying segment, recycling cartridges until 2003, after the company entered the computer, accessories, and cell phone line, and consequently changed its positioning and starts to compete with major players in the world technological market. It currently has 44 thousand points of sale in Brazil, and portfolio of 15 departments. The problem of the proposal takes into account a large amount of importation of technological products, and soon it is believed in the importation of communication, and design references. The study is justified by the need to assess the perception of confusion in graphic representation and hypertrophy of the aesthetic function in communication in the Brazilian technological segment. To achieve the result, a qualitative methodological approach will be used, aimed at the perception of meanings that are intrinsic in beliefs, values, and attitudes in human relationships. Therefore, so that the research objectives are achieved, the study will be divided into three stages of development: exploratory, bibliographical, and documentary. The discussions that take place in this proposal bring the relationship between communication and culture, visual communication as a form of brand positioning, as well as graphic advertising representation in communication from the perspective of design. The study will be limited to graphic products for advertising communication, which is expected to understand a look at the advancement of knowledge in visuality and graphic-symbolic positioning of Brazilian technology brands, as well as the role of professionals in the field of design.

Abstract:
COVID-19 has brought a number of changes in people’s lifestyles as well as in business strategies. The consumers are moving towards social media and brands are forced to adjust their positioning strategies to retain existing and attract new customers. In generating the customer engagement, the brand content must match the visual preferences of its target group. This paper reviews a relevant literature of visual communication in the context of branding focusing on changes in terms of redesign and rebranding imposed by a crisis. The aim is to identify how companies successfully developed memorable, contextually-relevant and public-educational visual brand communication and strategies during the COVID-19 pandemic. The content analysis method was used in order to create a synthesized overview of brands' visual communication and their creative solutions during the pandemic. The results of this study highlight the importance of visual communication that can be taken by brands in dealing with crisis situations such as pandemic, and its effects on consumer behaviour in the new-normal era.
