In the corporate world, strategy is all about how to best position your product or service in the market with a specific target audience. It can include topics such as pricing strategies, marketing campaigns and promotional offers while also planning for an exit should that be necessary at some point down the line. There's more to it than just deciding on which products or services to sell.


A company's strategy can also be related to how they're going to position themselves in the industry and what their goals are. A good example of this is Google, which has decided that its goal is "to organize the world's information". By doing so, they've introduced some major changes including free apps like Gmail for emailing and swapping.


When it comes to a business's brand equity, it can be the most powerful component of a business. Strong brand equity can allow a business to sell new products or services with ease by simply adding its logo to the item. This is because the brand already comes with an established customer base that trusts that the products or services are not only quality but they're also something the customer base is interested in.


If we look at the Apple corporation, it firstly started with the product "Apple I" back in 1977 and since then it has been growing significant brand equity to now be able to sell a diverse range of products in the tech space. Products such as smartphones, personal computers, tablets, wearables, accessories and a variety of related services. From this high brand equity and corporate strategy they have been able to become one of the leading corporations in the world.

The modern corporation is also looking to have a lasting impact on consumers. Differentiating from other companies in the space aims to create a higher preference for your brand over your competitors. Considering Apple again, it has built its corporate strategy around product quality with an emphasis on customer satisfaction by ensuring they can produce what people want while building company value through branding. Differentiating has helped Apple and will help in your own business to build sustainable growth.


Essentially high brand equity makes it easier to diversify your business and build/create a corporate strategy that can have continuous business growth opportunities.
