The Champagne Strategy Podcast – Episode 3 – Positioning Strategy

In this episode we convinced Anton Buchner to take some time out of his busy consulting schedule to talk to us about positioning strategy.

We hear the story about how he fell into this role after working his way up the ranks of the marketing world. Starting his career as a direct mail lacky he moved agency side, then client side and now is a full-time consultant so the breadth of his experience means his perspective is really valuable.

He admits to not being textbook learned, but instead brings a boatload of practical advice that he’s proven works in real life situations.

Learn why he doesn’t believe you should learn about positioning and the area he recommends you should learn about instead.

Hear why Apple and Virgin’s positioning strategy works so well. Learn what an SMOB is.

Lots of juicy nuggets of widsom, tips, tricks, books to read and methods to follow.

A must listen for all marketing professionals, strategists and entrepreneurs.
