Longer answer

5. Janvier, 2016 Paris Chrysos, ISC Paris
The brand
● Helps people recognize it (it's the name)
● People get to know it through marketing

The characteristics
● Correspond to
people's specific
needs.
● Different categories
of people, need or
like different things
in the product
(characteristics or
features).
Example
the importance of the characteristic “Battery”
for different categories (savers, shoppers,
explorers, professional, high earners) and the
corresponding brand positioning (“Semantic
Scale”)

How it works
In time
● Round N
– Decision: “Learn how to make a product with these
characteristics” (because I know that's what a
specific market segment wants). Let's name it
“POROVE”..
● Round N+1
– Decision: “Create a new brand, based on the results
of the R&D project” OR “Change the attributes of an
existing brand”.
– Decision: “Tell the people we have it!” (marketing)
● Round N+2
– That's when you get the money...
