is a brand’s golden opportunity to be seen as distinctive by customers. By
getting the positioning of your product right,
you can build the motivational, aspirational and resonant brand story and

weather evolving environmental constraints, ideally through to loss of
exclusivity.

Pharmaceutical companies have improved their customer-centric focus and process in developing motivating, differentiating and viable positioning. However, further progress is required.
Here are our top tips to help you develop positioning that supports your brand:
1. Build in your internal customers’ perceptions and needs
Get consensus on what your business is trying to achieve for the brand before you start. Conduct a cross-functional brand team workshop to garner perceptions and insights on a positioning strategic direction. Include this understanding in the draft positioning concepts that you are going to consider, then select for testing with your external customers.2. Develop positioning in alignment with your external customer base
Positioning is the central tool for conducting an engaging dialogue with your customers. The dialogue will need to focus on the brand story, and also tailor the message flow and focus. Tailoring is becoming an increasing requirement as personalised medicine and individual patients’ engagement in their treatments become the focus. As you start, consider the broader network of influencers – in particular, payers, carers and patients are also your customers.Download the full article and reference checklist here.
