CATEGORY CONVENTION<br />

DEFINITION USE<br />

What’s tired, inspired, and plain dead in<br />

how competitive brands communicate<br />

and behave<br />

EXAMPLE<br />

Tune into car insurance commercials lately? You might notice that every single brand<br />

uses a comical spokesman (Cavemen, Flo, The Gecko, etc.).<br />

Most clients don’t want to spend millions<br />

of dollars to blend in. By understanding<br />

the images, messages, and overall<br />

conventions repeatedly used by your<br />

competitors, you can help a brand<br />

better stand out in a sea of sameness<br />

and be recognized by the consumer.<br />
