Category Strategy
Category strategy helps companies decide whether to compete inside an existing category or attempt to define a new one. Category creation requires a recognizable problem, a clear concept, educational content, consistent terminology, customer adoption, and evidence.
What Category Creation Requires
- A recognizable problem that existing categories do not address.
- A clear concept that is easy to understand.
- Educational content that teaches the market.
- Consistent terminology that defines the category.
- Customer adoption that validates the concept.
- Evidence that the category is real and valuable.
Do Not Claim What Is Not Earned
Do not claim a company "created a category" without evidence. Category creation is a market outcome, not a marketing claim.
