BRAND POSITION
Your Brand’s Position Is Broken—Here’s How to Fix It (Fast)
If your brand isn’t generating the sales, loyalty, or recognition you expected, the problem may not be your product or service—it’s likely your brand position.
A weak or unclear position is like a cracked foundation. No matter how much effort you pour into marketing, advertising, or product development, you’re building on unstable ground. Fortunately, you don’t need to stay stuck. With the Brand Personality Prism, you can quickly identify and fix the gaps in your position, turning your brand into a strong, cohesive force in the marketplace.
Here’s how.
Signs Your Brand Position Is Broken
Before we dive into the solution, let’s confirm the problem. Ask yourself:
- Does your audience seem confused about what you do or why they should care?
- Are you losing customers to competitors even though your product or service is great?
- Do you struggle to communicate what makes your brand unique?
- Is your marketing falling flat or failing to convert?
- Do you feel like your brand doesn’t “click” with your audience anymore?
If you answered “yes” to any of these questions, your brand’s position needs urgent attention.
Why Your Position Matters
Your brand position is more than just a tagline or a mission statement. It’s the unique space your brand occupies in your customers’ minds, and it answers critical questions like:
- Who are you?
- What do you stand for?
- Why should customers choose you over the competition?
Without a clear and compelling position, your audience won’t connect with your brand, your competitors will outshine you, and your marketing efforts will feel like wasted energy.
How to Fix Your Brand Position (Fast)
The Brand Personality Prism is a step-by-step framework designed to help you rebuild your brand position with clarity and confidence. Here’s how it works:
1. Start with Brand Personality
Your brand personality is the emotional foundation of your position. It’s what makes your brand feel relatable and memorable.
Fix It: Define the traits and tone that make your brand unique. Is your brand bold, friendly, innovative, or empathetic? Align your personality with what resonates most with your audience.
2. Fix the Customer Experience
Your brand experience is the way customers interact with you—through your website, customer service, packaging, or social media. It’s where your position becomes tangible.
Fix It: Ensure every interaction reflects your personality and delivers consistent value. A seamless, memorable experience reinforces your position in your customers’ minds.
3. Get Clear on Relevance
Relevance is about understanding your audience’s needs, values, and pain points. If your position doesn’t speak directly to them, it won’t stick.
Fix It: Reassess your target audience. Are you solving the right problems? Are you speaking their language? Adjust your positioning to align with their priorities.
4. Differentiate with Brand Separation
If your audience sees your brand as interchangeable with your competitors, you lack separation. Differentiation is what makes your brand stand out.
Fix It: Identify what makes you different. Is it your process, your results, your story, or your approach? Emphasize those unique qualities in your messaging and branding.
5. Refine Your Brand Offer
Your offer is more than just what you sell. It’s the solution you provide and the transformation you enable for your customers.
Fix It: Clearly articulate the functional and emotional benefits your brand delivers. Why is your offer the best choice for your audience?
6. Tell a Stronger Brand Narrative
Your brand narrative is the story that ties everything together. It explains who you are, what you stand for, and how you make your customers’ lives better.
Fix It: Develop a compelling narrative that highlights your personality, relevance, and offer. Make sure it’s consistent across every platform and interaction.
