marketing the brand comment

Many companies adapt themselves to the market and lose their identity instead of shaping the market

VDI nachrichten, 17.10.2003

Erst wurden sie in den Vorruhestand geschickt, jetzt werden sie schmerzlich vermisst. Immer mehr Unternehmen erkennen, dass sie die älteren Mitarbeiter genauso brauchen wie die jungen – und beginnen wieder „Alte“ einzustellen. Doch das bringt neue Probleme, sagt Ursula Drost im folgenden Beitrag. Für immer mehr Unternehmen wird die einseitige Ausrichtung auf junge Hight-Potentials zum Problem.

Viele Unternehmen passen sich dem Markt bis zur Unkenntlichkeit an, statt ihn zu gestalten.

Kosten einsparen, schrumpfen, bis es nicht mehr geht, Preisnachlässe mit ständig schwindender Gewinnmarge – langsam wird sichtbar, dass sich die Preis- und Kostenschraube dem Ende nähert.

It is clear to most companies that Marketing and PR are indispensable requirements to be able to survive in competition. But far too many examples show that companies disappear silently from the market or are bought out by the competition in spite of convincing products.It doesn’t always need a six or seven-figure budget to be able to promote the image, the brand name and the sales of a company. Agencies with broad industry experience, solid knowledge of the market, skilful mastery of the marketing mix and, not the least important, a broad and proven network of special service providers can also perform effective marketing and public relations work within a limited budget.
