OUR APPROACH • We create Positioning Statement for brands, breaking the rules of their industry and able to build strong recognition
RESULTS « Il n ’y a pas que le riz et les pâtes dans la vie, il y a EBLY » « 3 generations, one passion » « Reliability » « Easy to work with Case »
GOING TO A GLOBAL ATTITUDE • Same paradox everywhere : less writing but more instruments • Usages are similar, instruments also • Same new trends emerge everywhere : roller pens, Gel ink, “swatch-like” design • Brand positioning has to follow
BUT STARTING FROM A LOCAL ATTITUDE • Purchasing criteria vary • Quality & performance : USA / Germany • Style : France / Italy • French market strong in fountain pens, Papermate is not • German market strong in refillable, Papermate is not • Papermate 2 brands in France and UK, 1 brand in Italy and Germany
Low awareness in France, High in UK and Italy. • Low empathy in France, Better in UK. • A family image in Italy and Spain, not elsewhere. • A French market dominated by Hypermarkets, a German market by Traditional. • High media cost in Germany, lower in Italy.
CREATING BRAND EQUITY • New generations are the trend setters • Young want brands • Brands build emotional territory that makes the difference
LOOKING FOR THE RIGHT BRAND POSITIONING + - BIC PILOT PENTEL STABILO EDDING UNIBALL Value for money Single product Had to follow market trend Technology Too arrogant Awareness Relying on 70 ’s success Profesionnal Smove Dichotomy - Boss / Schwan Technical Vague
LOOKING FOR THE RIGHT BRAND POSITIONING(2) + - Good quality, serious Too serious, “cold” technology PAPERMATE PAPERMATE “ Au cœur de la communication ” A tool among computers, cell phones Lack of emotional values
A FLAG PRODUCT IS CRITICAL For establishing a brand and selling a range • Bic : Crystal Pen ( in the 50’s) • Pentel : Fibre pen / Green body ( in the 70’s) • Pilot : Hightech Roller v.series ( in the 80’s) • Stabilo : highlighter Boss, Smove • Papermate : Nylon ( but brand marking not visible)
ADVERTISING THAT WORKS REYNOLDS / FRANCE PILOT / UK Flag : Ink series Media : TV Tone : Relaxed, friendly Flag : Roller V.series TV Media : TV Actor : Stirling Moss
Establishing a high and consistent Brand Equity • Select Flag(s) Product(s) • Europe’s 3 years plan • Setting local objectives • No cannibalization of Reynolds • No rush for Germany
ESTABLISHING A HIGH AND CONSISTENT BRAND EQUITY Timing is short • Starting 2nd phase now • Testing final options 01/03 • All information available at ICOM • Except Brand Survey/Results 12/02 • Deadline 03/03 • Production ready for Back to School
Brand image is not relevant to your turnover’s objectives No mention of Papermate in Gatard Brand Mapping ( France, UK, Germany, 2000)
