The Strategic Enemy: How to Build and Position a Brand Worth Fighting For ($28.00 Value) FREE for a Limited Time
Build a brand worth fighting for using the power of positioning and focus. Consumers are overwhelmed by choices and inundated with marketing messages. And despite an obsession with positioning amongst the world’s most well-known companies, too many brands retain an outdated focus on “being better” and using “line-extensions” rather than on what really matters in the mind-being different than your strategic enemy. In The Strategic Enemy: How to Build and Position a Brand Worth Fighting For, bestselling author and brand strategist Laura Ries delivers an exciting and powerful new discussion of how some of the world’s most energetic brands make an impact in the market. She explains the key to effective brand positioning-identifying an “enemy”-and shows you how to use an indisputable difference to drive your brand into the minds of consumers.

Ries draws on her extensive experience in marketing and branding to show you how to develop a “visual hammer:” a crystal-clear image that distinguishes your brand from everyone else’s. You’ll also find: Illustrative case studies of real-world companies-like Liquid Death, the popular canned water brand, Chick-fila-A’s “Eat More Chikin” campaign, Oatly’s “Wow no Cow,” slogan, and Nvidia, the leader in AI computing-that demonstrate how to effectively position using focus and a distinctive enemy (plastic bottles, beef, and dairy milk, respectively).
