You find yourself at Keurig as VP Marketing in 2002 a company with a great product but no brand recognition and only $25 million in sales
You join LoJack because of their exciting technology which allows the police to track down and recover a stolen car in minutes. But...no one knows about the technology or brand...so you have a big hill to climb.
You love boats and fishing...so why not join a boat company where you can have a free demo boat....slip...fuel...and you have to go fishing as part of your job. Nice.
It’s the early 1980’s and Procter & Gamble assigns you as Brand Manager Pringles. The brand is well known but in decline. Management tells you to either turn it around or they will kill it.
It is 1982 and Procter & Gamble promotes you to Brand Manager of Crisco Oil. It is a tough assignment.
