90% of buyers consider just TWO brands.
The most famous brand in a category is consistently one of the two brands considered by 90% of people deciding which brand to buy. The role of every marketing director should be “ensure we’re one of the two brands considered”.
60% of audiences don’t care about features.
Yep that killer feature you’re team is hanging all hopes on, isn’t nearly as powerful as you think. Instead both B2C and B2B audiences rely on a brands distinctive-ness as they make the buying decision. And yep, that sucks.
Just 5% of category buyers are in ‘market’.
A deceptively simple fact, but has a huge impact on an Underdog’s advertising. Most advertising hits buyers who aren’t ‘in market’ at that moment. Therefore advertising must build and refresh memories of your brand or it’s just hot air.
