Positioning: The Battle for Your Mind

Jack Trout; Al Ries

ISBN: 9780070652644
Publisher: McGraw-Hill
Publication Date: 1985
Binding: Hardcover

Positioning, a concept developed by the authors, has changed the way people advertise. The reason? It's the first concept to deal with the problems of communicating in an overcommunicated society. With this approach, a company creates a 'position' in the prospect's mind, one that reflects the company's own strengths and weaknesses as well as those of its competitors. Witty and fast-paced, this book spells out how to position a leader so that it gets into the mind and stays there, position a follower in a way that finds a 'hole' not occupied by the leader, and avoid the pitfalls of letting a second product ride on the coattails of an established one. Revised to reflect significant developments in the five years since its original publication, Positioning reveals the fascinating case histories and anecdotes behind the campaigns of many stunning successes and failures in the world of advertising.

Big Brands Big Trouble: Lessons Learned the Hard Way

Jack Trout

ISBN: 9780471414322
Publisher: John Wiley & Sons Inc
Publication Date: 2001
Binding: Hardcover

One of the most respected marketing gurus in the world shows why some of today’s biggest brands are having trouble and how to avoid repeating their mistakes
It wasn’t long ago that Levi-Strauss, Xerox, Crest, AT&T, Firestone, and Digital Equipment dominated their respective markets. What happened to undermine their standings and of those of other superbrands? Are their declines simply the inevitable consequence of change and the birth of new competition? In this important predecessor to the classic Differentiate or Die, "the king of positioning," Jack Trout answers that question with a resounding "No!" Writing in his signature, straight-from-the-hip style he reveals the disastrous marketing and strategy blunders that led to the dissolution of the most recognized superbrands. He clearly shows how those mistakes could have been avoided. With the help of in-depth case studies chronicling the events leading up to the falls from grace of Sears, Miller Brewing, Xerox, Crest, Burger King, and other past market leaders, he identifies the ten most common mistakes that big brands make, and he develops a set of expert guidelines for marketing managers and executives on how to build, protect, manage, and expand their companies’ brands and avoid brand-killing blunders.
Jack Trout (Greenwich, CT) is President of Trout & Partners, one of the most prestigious marketing firms worldwide. Trout & Partners’ client list includes AT&T, IBM, Merrill Lynch, Sears, and many other Fortune 500 companies. Jack Trout’s other books include the international bestsellers Positioning and The 22 Immutable Laws of Marketing.

The Power of Simplicity: A Management Guide to Cutting Through the Nonsense and Doing Things Right

Jack Trout; Steve Rivkin

ISBN: 9780071373326
Publisher: McGraw-Hill
Publication Date: 2000
Binding: Softcover

Renowned marketing expert and best-selling author Jack Trout has a message for managers who are struggling to keep up with today’s ever-changing business climate: “Keep It Simple.” In this paperback edition of The Power of Simplicity, Trout advocates the importance of paying attention to the basics and simplifying processes in order to stay focused on the core business at hand. Through case studies and interviews with successful executives, he shows managers how to cut through jargon, articulate their vision, and regain control of the vital elements of their business in order to make it thrive.
According to Trout, the things that propose to streamline companies, like the ubiquitous “mission statements,” often end up bogging down operations by introducing unnecessary complexity where a straightforward approach may be more effective. Trout cites Southwest Airlines, Intel, and Kohl’s department stores among others as successful companies that have rejected showy trappings in favor of simplification.
