The only positioning statement your brand needs in 2020

What is brand ONLINESS statement and how do you write one?

How do you differentiate your brand in an extremely cluttered marketplace?

By using a traditional differentiation: Me-too or another of that kind.

Or by adopting a completely radical differentiation: BEING THE ONLY ONE.

Marty Neumeier in ZAG argues:

Keeping up with your competition is not enough. You have to out-position, out-maneuver, and out-design your competition.

In his brand strategy book, he introduces this new rule. When everybody zigs, zag.

But how do you ZAG?

Of course by starting with your ONLINESS statement. The only statement that radically differentiates your brand from the competition.

It’s like a rich elevator pitch that tells:

• What you do?
• How you do it?
• For who (whom) you do it?
• Where you do it?
• Why you do it?
• When you do it?

In a nutshell: It tells what makes you the ONLY.
