Join our CEO and Head Wizard, Kathy Guzmán Galloway on an episode of the Ecommerce Marketing Podcast. Host Arlen Robinson interviews Kathy on the critical importance of brand positioning, especially for e-commerce businesses. She shares her journey from working with large brands like PepsiCo and NatureMade to becoming a sought-after consultant who helps businesses of all sizes define and refine their brand positioning.
Throughout the episode, learn about the need for businesses to clearly define their audience, brand promise, and core values to stand out in a crowded marketplace. We discuss the common pitfalls that startups face, such as the “and also” problem, where brands try to communicate too many messages at once, leading to a lack of clarity and focus.
Key Takeaways
The Essence of Brand Positioning (10:01)
Brand positioning is about understanding who your audience is, what you are offering, and why they should care. Kathy highlights the importance of context in shaping how you communicate with your audience.
The Importance of Focus (18:14)
Kathy discusses the “and also” problem, where brands try to convey too many messages at once. She advises focusing on the most important aspects of your brand that resonate with your target audience.
Brand Promise and Its Evolution (25:06)
