Which of the following statements by Guy Brusselmans (Bain en Co) is INcorrect?
Relative penetration levels generally are not consistent across packs and channels.
In strategic plans, most brands are planned to gain share in their category. But the reality is
harsh: - Less than 5% of brands succeed to grow and outperform competition over the long run - Less
than 15% of brands consistently outgrew their category in last 4 years - 9 out of 10 new brands fail:
80% fail straight away within the first months; another 10% within 5 years after introduction.
Winners (in the domain of sustained brand growth) consistently do 3 things right: 1. Get inspired
by actual behaviours (i.e., “What consumers say is not what they do”); 2. Think multi-year asset-
building (i.e., "Brands are assets. Growing them in value requires continued and sustained
investment and consistency in execution"); 3. Make clear choices (i.e., “You can grow anything but
not everything”).
Churn rates of 50% are not uncommon, even for big brands.
