A Dynamic and Dimensional Way to Map the Market Ecosystem for Effective Brand Planning
Effective brand planning and lifecycle management require a sharp-eyed, prognostic view of the landscape to guide strategy at every point along the critical path, from successful launch to healthy maturity. That mandate includes mapping the market your brand currently inhabits (or is poised to enter) and it also means anticipating how the market is likely to evolve, so you can think farther ahead. Effective market mapping prepares you to forge the path, not just follow it.
