The Value of Brand Diagnosis Over Strategy

Understanding the health of a brand requires a thorough diagnosis before any strategic decisions can be made. It's essential to identify the underlying issues affecting a brand's performance, such as internal culture, competitive threats, or strategic ambitions. By asking key questions about brand recognition, buyer intent, and distinctive assets, marketers can gauge the strength of their brand. This holistic approach ensures that branding efforts align with the organization's actual needs and business goals, rather than relying solely on assumed strategies.
