Playing The Position

Episode 6 Show Notes

What Position Are You Playing?

Positioning isn’t a tagline. It’s not a pitch. And it’s definitely not a gimmick.

In this episode of Brand Is Not A Four-Letter Word, Amy Jackson breaks down what brand positioning really is—and why so many brands get it wrong by confusing it with arena, messaging, or clever marketing tricks.

You’ll learn the critical difference between where you compete (your arena) and how you show up inside it (your positioning), and why positioning must be rooted in your brand’s authentic essence to actually work.

Amy explores:

• The difference between arena vs. positioning and why both matter
• Why positioning must align with your brand’s natural character, not an aspirational fantasy
