This week's episode finds a few big brands in some hot water! Mark and Lorraine revisit Jack Trout's 2001 book, Big Brands – Big Trouble, and share some more recent examples of big brands making not-so-smart moves. The positioning duo walks through the nine mistakes codified in Trout's book, then provides a definition of each mistake before sharing meaningful examples of what's right - and wrong - with some Big Brands!
Spend 30ish with Mark and Lorraine as they talk all things marketing, advertising, and positioning.
