Brand positioning and product character out of step
The brand speaks of professionalism and reliability, yet the products look cluttered or frivolous.
Three-step solution method
- Translate brand positioning into principles for scale, structural order and material expression.
- Define references for what to pursue and what to avoid, with clear reasons for each choice, so decisions go beyond style imagery.
- Use physical prototypes to assess whether the product experience reflects the brand’s character.
Key Deliverables
- Brand Attribute Lexicon
- Product Semantics Map
- Form Concepts
Verification Approach
Compare how users describe the product’s attributes with its intended positioning.
