Positioning Objectives

16

Positioning Statement “Effen Vodka is the only ultra-premium vodka that provides 21-35 year

olds in bars, lounges, and nightclubs with a vodka brand that combines sophistication and bravado because Effen vodka is the only ultra-premium vodka brand that shrugs off elitism in favor of social merriment.”

Positioning Justification Uses reverse positioning to separate Effen vodka from other ultra-

premium vodkas and create a unique space in the minds of consumers. Target audience does not drink ultra-premium vodka just to fit in, but

also to share merriment with others and to reflect their personal style. Other ultra-premium vodka brands are not capable of communicating

with this group, because their positioning strategies all focus on sophistication and status.

The Effen brand name, while misunderstood by non-users or the brand, is well understood and appealing to the target group, because its double-entendre meaning is communicates nonconformity and bravado.
