Many people think “this
is marketing.”
Because it involves a lot
of tools, techniques and
communication strategy.
But I don’t think so

For me, this is marketing.
Marketing is a lot more
than just promotion
campaign or what you do
on your Facebook page
and your website.

To start a company, you
should have at least 2
(two) things:
Vision Aspiration
A vision: what your
company will become
in the next 10 years?
An aspiration/ a mission:
why do you want to start
this business?
So you have a company.

We may call this phase
“analyzing context” –
analyzing all the external
influences on a business.
In this case, I only state
out three elements to
simplify the presentation:
+ Competitors
+ Company
+ Customer
Context

May be you have heard
of it as 3C’s model in
marketing.
(*)Please google for more
information about 3C’s model
(**)There are other models/
framework to analyze the context.
For example, PESTLE Analysis
framework.
P – Political
E – Economic
S – Social
T – Technological
L – Legal
E – Environmental

After analyzing the context,
you don't jump to the
product creation phase yet.
You have to define your
value proposition in order
to create a service/ product
Context
What is the value you
deliver to your customers?
What is the value/ benefit
your customers will be
acquired?
What problem are you
solving for the customer?

If you want the customer
buy your product instead
of your competitors', you
must analyze your
product’s strength and
weakness to develop
competitive strategies.
In this case we use
S.W.O.T analysis model.
From that, you should be
able to develop a
branding proposition for
your product.
