Kantar Health Launches Positioning Framework
- Kantar Health's Positioning Framework Provides Clients With Rigorous Methodology to Identify Their Optimal Positioning
Kantar Health has developed a well-thought-out framework for both developmental work and testing to identify the optimal positioning for a new product or the repositioning of an existing brand. At the center of this framework is the Kantar Health Positioning Wheel, which considers the essential components of any strong positioning:
· Customer target
· Competitive context/frame of reference
· Brand promise
· Brand character/personality
· Aspirational strategy
Organizational and team strategy alignment workshops and the use of creative and innovative qualitative and quantitative methodologies help uncover the market‘s “white space” and the customers’ functional and emotional needs that will ultimately direct positioning opportunities.
“Perhaps no other topic in pharmaceutical brand strategy is more important than product positioning,” said John Tapper, Ph.D., Marketing Insights. “For research to make a real impact, we must be both flexible and rigorous. This approach does just that, bringing structured thinking to bear alongside flexible qualitative methods. This combination, along with a focus on organizational alignment, helps ensure that the broader team is operating from the same ‘positioning playbook.’ Kantar Health's positioning framework acts as a roadmap for our clients to direct the process and ensure that no stone is left unturned in the exhaustive exploration of positioning opportunities.”
Through this disciplined yet creative approach to addressing each “spoke” in the Positioning Wheel, Kantar Health recognizes the importance of building positionings that are credible, differentiating, sustainable and consistent with an organization's long-term aspirational strategy.
“One aspect that I think differentiates our approach is the amount of upfront developmental work conducted internally within the organization. Through a series of workshops with the broader brand and agency teams, we‘re in a much better place to focus and align our follow-on exploration of high-potential positioning opportunities,” Dr. Tapper said. “Positioning is not just about customer-driven ideas -- although that’s critical; it‘s also a strategic endeavor. Without strategic alignment and an exhaustive examination of the current and future marketplace, you’re at risk for not developing a long-term, sustainable positioning.”
