Positioning by Al Ries, Jack Trout

Product Details

About the Book

Positioning: The Battle for Your Mind is widely regarded as one of the most important marketing books ever written, credited with fundamentally changing how businesses think about branding, communication, and competition. Al Ries and Jack Trout, who first introduced the concept of "positioning" in a series of groundbreaking articles in the early 1970s, argue that the real battleground for any product or brand isn't the marketplace itself, but the crowded, over-communicated mind of the consumer, a place where thousands of competing messages fight daily for a sliver of limited mental space.

The authors demonstrate that success in this environment doesn't come from creating something entirely new or different, but from understanding how the mind already thinks and works, then finding a distinct, ownable position within that existing mental landscape rather than trying to change it. Drawing on vivid, memorable case studies from some of history's most iconic brand battles, Ries and Trout show how companies can carve out and defend a unique position in consumers' minds, why being first to occupy a category is often more powerful than being better, and how businesses can reposition themselves or their competitors when circumstances demand it. Decades after its original publication, Positioning remains a foundational text in marketing education, having introduced concepts and vocabulary, including "positioning" itself, that have become permanent fixtures of how marketers, advertisers, and business strategists think about winning attention and loyalty in an increasingly crowded marketplace.
