Grasping the Essence of Competitive Positioning Competitive positioning refers to how your product or service stands in relation to your competitors. It is crucial for effective product marketing as it guides how you distinguish your offerings and communicate with your target audience. Poor positioning can lead to a significant loss of market share, and in extreme cases, it can even result in business failure. Therefore, it's vital to get your competitive positioning right. Consider Lyft as an example. Lyft's product marketers know that all ride-sharing apps have similar features and pricing. So, how does Lyft distinguish itself? By focusing its messaging on social responsibility. Lyft aims at personas who identify with liberal political values, highlighting its support for LGBTQ communities, environmentalism, and other progressive causes. This strategy makes these personas more inclined to choose Lyft over its competitors. #CompetitivePositioning #ProductMarketing #MarketDifferentiation #CustomerEngagement #MarketingStrategy

Understanding Competitive Positioning! Competitive positioning is your relationship to all of your competitors in the market. It's the backbone of effective product marketing because it determines how you differentiate your product and market to your target personas. But beware, poor positioning can lead to a loss of market share and even business failure. The stakes are high, and the time to get your competitive positioning right is now. Take Lyft, for example. Lyft's product marketers understand that all ride-sharing apps offer similar features and identical pricing. So, how does Lyft stand out? By leaning heavily into messaging about the public good. Lyft targets personas identifying with liberal political ideologies, emphasizing support for LGBTQ communities, environmentalism, and other liberal causes. This positioning makes their personas care more about Lyft than their competitors. #CompetitivePositioning #ProductMarketing #MarketDifferentiation #CustomerEngagement #MarketingStrategy

An insightful piece about how adapting your brand to celebrate diversity at special times actually helps the brand and shows inclusion. #VisibilityMatters #Brand #Marketing #Inclusivity #Awareness
Is It OK to Change Your Brand Elements for Pride Month or National Days? 🌍✨ Hey everyone. As #Pride Day is just around the corner, many brands face a common dilemma: Should we tweak our brand elements, like colors and design, to reflect this important occasion? Some hesitate. Altering established branding elements can feel risky. You might worry about alienating a portion of your audience or disrupting brand consistency. However, when done thoughtfully, these changes can communicate powerful messages of solidarity, inclusivity, and support. Big companies like #Google, #Nike, and #CocaCola have already embraced this approach, showcasing their commitment to diversity and inclusion through changes in their branding. This shows support for the LGBTQ+ community and resonates with a broader audience that values inclusivity. #Branding #PrideMonth #DiversityAndInclusion #Marketing #BrandIdentity #Authenticity #InclusiveMarketing

Hello LinkedIn community! This morning, our Sprint Reply team convened over our regular Tea & Toast gathering, where we share knowledge and boost our collective understanding on several topics. Today, we had an enlightening discussion on Pride, covered by our fantastic Anna Mercer. In a detailed walkthrough, Anna took us on a journey exploring the origins of the Pride event, a beacon of hope and celebration for the LGBTQ+ community worldwide. We explored key milestones from the historic Stonewall Riots to the modern-day legalisation of same-sex marriage. Anna's presentation reinforced the importance of Pride in not just celebrating, but also in raising awareness of key issues related to equal rights, acceptance and understanding, thereby highlighting our company's strong belief in diversity and inclusion. This was not just a presentation, it was an education, a reminder that we are all different and yet, fundamentally the same. At Sprint Reply UK, we're thrilled to engage in such important discussions, covering everything from cloud computing and AI to societal and cultural topics. It's through these valuable discussions we continue to grow as a company and as individuals. We'd like to express our gratitude to Anna Mercer for her excellent presentation and for helping us understand the importance of celebrating diversity and promoting inclusivity in our community. All in all, a toast to knowledge! #knowledgeSharing #TeamSprintReply #Pride #Inclusivity #Diversity #Tea&ToastKnowledgeSession

⭐ 🌟 ⭐ We are All Stars ⭐ 🌟 ⭐ 👁 While I'm looking forward to enjoying the next Ru Paul's Drag Race All Stars (Season 9), which is airing in a few days time, I reflected on the true meaning of All Stars and whether We All are Stars ... and of course ! We All Are 🌟 ❇ Very often, when I start collaborating with my clients (aka organizations), there is a mix-up situation in which the team got stressed to single out the typologies of diversity they think they have to work on. They wonder whether is best to prioritise the typology of disability or the LGBTQ+ for instance or whether they have to embrace them all in order to avoid not being diverse and inclusive enough. Well, the good news are that you shouldn't worry about this at all. 🙌 🙌 🙌 ❓ It is not a question of only getting focused on the underrepresented groups (which are actually extremely relevant when talking about DEI and somehow they deserve special actions) but to be inclusive for absolutely everyone regardless their identity or group they wish to represent. 🛠 Transforming an organization into a more inclusive place to work means allowing absolutely everyone, specially the new talent (Gen Z and Millennials), to come as they are and to express themselves freely. If there are members of your teams that belong to an underrepresented group then is worth for you to take that into consideration and act accordingly but it shouldn't determine the totality of your DEI strategy. 💞 Once your organization is genuinely INCLUSIVE then EVERYONE will feel WELCOMED ... because at the end of the day WE ARE ALL STARS (and we ALL have a story of DIVERSITY to contribute with) 👏 👏 👏 #dei #diversity #inclusion #diversityand #inclusion #diversitymatters #inclusionmatters #people #peoplematter #diversidad #inclusion

Gen Z is also the most racially and ethnically diverse generation, with 43% identifying as non-white.

🌈 Celebrating Pride Month: Honouring the Visionaries Shaping Our Stories As we dive into Pride Month, I'm excited to highlight the incredible contributions of LGBTQ+ creators and artists who are revolutionising our industry. I truly believe in the transformative power of diverse voices to inspire, educate and create meaningful connections. The Impact of LGBTQ+ Creators 1. Trailblazers in Creativity: LGBTQ+ creators consistently break new ground with their innovative ideas and bold storytelling, challenging the status quo and expanding our creative horizons. 2. Authentic Representation: These creators bring their genuine experiences and unique perspectives to their work, ensuring that the content we produce is rich, diverse, and truly reflective of different communities. 3. Cultural Enrichment: By sharing their stories and viewpoints, LGBTQ+ creators enrich our cultural landscape, fostering greater understanding and empathy among audiences. 4. Visibility and Empowerment: Highlighting the work of LGBTQ+ creators helps empower underrepresented voices, providing role models for future generations and promoting a more inclusive industry. At MYTHOSMKRS, our commitment to collaborating with diverse creators goes beyond representation—it’s about creating a platform where all voices can be heard and celebrated. This Pride Month, we honour the vibrant contributions of LGBTQ+ creators and artists and reaffirm our dedication to driving culture forward.

Today is a big day for us. Marianna Di Regolo and I have been working hard at getting services together on Famm. We have finally launched 32 new service providers across financial, career, healthcare, legal categories, and more! There is a massive gap in the market for solutions that make it super easy to find LGBTQ+ service providers. We want to avoid resorting to the status quo for financial, legal, healthcare, coaching, creative services, and more. As Queer people, we have unique needs and experiences that require someone on the other side of the table to get it. Because what you get is a genuine investment and connection. More importantly, we feel safe working with that person and they will yield BETTER outcomes than someone who doesn't understand you or, worse, has opinions about your queerness. Here's to 2024 - where we will continue to grow Famm and provide more resources for our community to invest in and grow the queer economy. #queercommunity #queertech #queermarketplace #queerowned #lgbtqia #lgbtqcommunity #lgbt #queer
Today, we launched something new that we’re really excited about — LGBTQ+ service providers on Famm! Now, when you visit heyfamm.com, you can easily find: - Coaches - DEI Professionals - Financial Planners - Marketers - Registered Dietitians - Travel Agents - Therapists - Tarot Readers - Photographers - Event Planners - Product Designers - Attorneys - Plus more And throughout January, we’re going to spotlight each of these talented, creative, and inspiring service providers on Instagram. You can also head over to Famm to check out all of their profiles. #LGBTQBusinessOwner #LGBTBusinessOwners #QueerOwned #QueerOwnedBusiness #QueerCommunity #LGBTOwned #LGBTQOwned #QueerCoach #QueerTherapist #QueerDesigner #QueerEvents #deib #deistrategy Femily Howe Cameron Falco Equip Advisory Nik Sallie, Esq.
