One of the most difficult tasks associated with bringing a new product (and company) to market, yet one of the most important ones, is developing a compelling positioning strategy, the supporting value proposition and message architecture. The more competitive your market environment is, the more important it is to articulate clearly what your company/product does and why that is important, and, to which customers.

Rosemary Remacle, strategic marketing consultant and advisor to both venture-backed and public technology companies, will lead a discussion about the importance of developing a positioning strategy and best practices associated with the process. Her pragmatic approach puts a winning positioning strategy within everyone's grasp. Come prepared to talk about category development, segmentation and competitive differentiation......all essential to creating a winning position for your company/product.

Speaker: Rosemary Remacle, Strategic Marketing Consultant
