Stanley: A Century-Old Brand's Bold Pivot π‘
Did you know that Stanley, a brand with a 110-year legacy known for its sturdy, functional products, made a daring and strategic pivot in its audience targeting around 2019/2020? Thatβs right! They shifted their focus from primarily targeting working men to captivating a female audience, and the results were nothing short of spectacular. π
The Power of Audience Pivoting π
This change wasnβt just about introducing new products; it was about reimagining the brand's identity and appeal. Under the guidance of their new Global President, who possessed a sharp marketing acumen, Stanley launched a range of pastel and colorful designs that perfectly aligned with the aesthetic preferences of their new target audience.
Influencer Collaborations and Brand Partnerships π€
Embracing this unexpected wave of popularity, Stanley smartly collaborated with influencers and powerhouse brands like Starbucks. These collaborations were more than just marketing tactics; they created a fervor, with waitlists of thousands of women eagerly anticipating the product releases. The result? Their products sold out time and again, turning functional drinkware into a fashion statement.
