Jerry Rackley, Vice President of Marketing & Product Development, Demand Metric, Discusses The
Distinct Advantages Of Proper Positioning For Product Success
San Francisco - There is tremendous and growing competition for the attention span of people in your
target market. When you consider how many promotional messages the average person is subjected to in a
day, the fact that any of yours get through may seem nothing short of miraculous. All marketers strive to
rise above their market's noise level and be heard. What is the best way to do this?
The answer begins with Positioning, the creation of a unique market position your customers will
recognize and value. Firms that position their companies and products effectively have an advantage when
it comes to being seen and heard.
Jerry Rackley, Chief Analyst at Demand Metric will discuss what Positioning is, why it is so important and
ways to do it effectively at the weekly Global Product Management Talk on Monday, December 10, 2012
at the simultaneous times of 10:00 AM Pacific Time, 11:00 AM MST Denver, 12 Noon CST Chicago, and
1:00 PM EST Boston. Participants are welcome to listen live at http://
