Brand and Positioning
Engineers often dismiss "brand" as logos, colors, and marketing fluff — the least substantive thing a company does. But brand is actually one of the most consequential and durable assets a company builds: it's the reputation and trust that make everything else in marketing work, that let people choose you without re-evaluating from scratch, and that competitors can't easily copy. A great product with no brand is a well-kept secret; a strong brand is what turns a product into a default choice.
