Peter Field said “Any brand with ambitions beyond its budget needs to see this”. He was referring to Bountiful Cows IPA data fueled study which analysed 256 ad campaigns, examining them for Relative Advantage. I tracked down Adam Foley, CEO of Bountiful Cow to ask him more about the analysis and the findings. The research argues that relative advantage campaigns are 15% more likely to show at least one very large brand effect. They are also 60% more likely to have a very large effect on awareness, 22% more likely on differentiation suggesting a longer-term benefit to the brand and the business.

As Adam himself has said “When you can’t outspend your competition, you have to out-think them. You’ll never win by doing the same thing with less money; it’s about seizing opportunities that competitors overlook or neglect.” This episode delves into the report with great real life examples of brands that are using these principles of relative advantage.

This is episode covers the importance of challenger brands, how a diverse and non-traditional approach to marketing and audience engagement can result in significant company growth and brand awareness, distinctiveness in a saturated market, leveraging social currency, and the critical role of measuring campaign effectiveness.
