Brand - One Plus
Audience - Smartphone users who want value for money with a great user experience.
They are creating products that give cutting-edge competition(much more expensive) to their counterparts.
They entered the market when it was almost saturated& started with the "NEVER SETTLE " idealogy where users shouldn't have to settle for a substandard phone with average user experience just because they don't have a massive budget to upgrade.
They successfully did this by creating a unique brand experience and initially starting to invite-only marketing strategy where you can only purchase a product if you get invited by your friend

I am a multipotentialite. I love to learn new skills. There is so much to learn and i have a large apetite. However, most of these engaging skills cannot be learned traditionally. Enter Udemy, one of my favorite learning platforms. I admire there tenacity for the self-improvement. 

Some of the reasons i love Udemy:

  • It is accessible on all mobile platforms.
  • Learning for all levels.
  • There are skillful instructors on there.
  • One can be taught in any language of their choosing.
  • Respected CERTIFICATES.
  • So many interests are on board along with Skillful Instructors.
  • You learn at your own pace.
  • Most importantly- DISCOUNTS.

I have gained self-improvement, self-worth and a healthy regard for acquiring knowledge. I am preaching the gospel of Udemy.

Choose one of your favorite brands, and tell their business's story by answering the below questions.

 

Who is the brand?

- Uniqlo

 

Who is their audience?

- Primarily young adults, male and female, but they also cater to children and babies.

 

What challenge are they helping their audience to overcome? How are they doing it?

- The primary challenge they are helping their audience overcome is accessibility and affordability to quality clothing at an affordable price. They also do so by offering clothing with minimal designs and patterns, making it easy for just about anyone to envision themselves wearing a certain t-shirt. In this way, I would also say they help their audience to overcome obstacles related to sustainability surrounding clothing as well, by offering them basic closet pieces.

Smoody is my favorite brand product of boxdfood... I love the idea of making beef jerky with special ingredients that can turn your mood or give happy vibes.

Their audience is anybody or everybody in the blue or white collar space, anybody going through stress, or trying to find inspiration or motivation while working.

So far so good Smoody is known for helping people dealwith stress, promote bonding with families. colleagues and friends, super food which gives nutrients.

The brand I love the most is Jockey. I follow their tagline, Jockey or nothing, to the dot.

Jockey targets men and women who look for comfortable innerwear and clothes. They also target sportspersons in particular for the same.

You see, innerwear has been a source of discomfort, for women in particular since time immemorial.

Jockey solves for it by designing clothes that are comfortable, adaptable, and vivid (to cater to the different needs of their audiences.) Right from their fabric to their style and fitting, Jockey clothes are high in quality yet afforable in pricing.

But it is not only their product that drives their business. It is also how they market it. 

The story they tell is that with us, you live your life to the fullest. You feel easy, feel comfortable, go to work or on trip for adventure and everywhere you go, we'll make your experiences easy. 

They keep their branding stylish. They're not tacky. They are classic, smooth, comforting.

And who doesn't want that?

If you think about it? They're just a clothing brand. But if you further think about it, good, comfortable clothes do make us feel great wherever we go. Uncomfortable clothing ruins our experiences.

And hence, the Jockey or nothing works.
