"Sorry, I can't go out tonight; I'm spending some quality time with my Ducati", said a passionate Ducati customer to a not so impressed partner. 🙄 🏍 But the brand has not always been associated with passion like this. In the 1990's the company was experiencing intense competition from Japanese bike manufacturers that were more affordable and more reliable. Ducati had to #rethink its approach to remain competitive. Under the leadership of CEO Federico Minoli, the company began to focus on its #brand identity, emphasizing its #Italian #heritage, #performance, and #design #excellence. This was a #strategic move to differentiate Ducati from its competitors, focusing on producing high-quality, high-performance motorcycles that appealed to enthusiasts and connoisseurs, rather than competing on price and volume. Whilst the Japanese manufacturers' #narrative focused on reliability, technological innovation, and a broad appeal, Ducati's #storytelling focused on exclusivity, Italian craftsmanship, and the passionate riding experience, appealing to those seeking luxury, performance, and a strong emotional connection to their motorcycle. This strategic brand pivot helped Ducati to survive and ultimately thrive. So when our Ducati enthusiast prefers the company of her bike over anything else, it exemplifies the ultimate goal of brand strategy: creating not just customers, but passionate evangelists. #rebranding #findingyouressence #brandstrategymatters #storybrand
