A Brief History
In the year 1971, a new era in Marketing began with the birth of the Concept of Positioning,
theorized by Al Ries and named by Jack Trout.
In 1981, Positioning, the Battle for Your Mind, by Al Ries & Jack Trout, was published.
Since then, the book has sold more than 3 million copies in 22 countries around the world.
In the year 2008, Fortune selected the Positioning book as the "best business classic".
In the year 2009, Advertising Age Readers voted the book the "best marketing book they have ever read".
The second best book, Ogilvy on Advertising.
The third best book, The 22 Immutable Laws of Branding, by Al Ries and Laura Ries.
The Positioning Principles and the Laws of Marketing & Branding outlined by the authors are not only still valid after close to half a century,
they are more important than ever in an era of constant change & increased competition;
ignoring them is at the risk of crisis like many others have experienced before.
And how has a marketing concept and the principles and rules surrounding it become so timeless?
They are based on the the workings of the human MIND.
Timeless Principles
Based on Science:
The Science of how the Human Mind Works
Revolutionized Marketing close to half a century ago. Ever more crucial for Survival in the 21st Century.

Al Ries
1926-2022
Al first rose to fame in 1972 when a series of three articles on a new concept called “positioning” authored by Al Ries & Jack Trout appeared in Advertising Age. The positioning idea took the ad world by storm and was voted by AdAge as one of the 75 most important advertising ideas of the past 75 years.
Al founded his first agency, Ries Cappiello Colwell in 1963 in New York City. That agency is now Ries Global, a global consulting firm with offices in Atlanta & Shanghai, and affiliates across the world.
Al is known as the "Father of Positioning".
He was the bestselling author (or co-author) of 12 books, which have sold more than 4 million copies worldwide.
In 2016, he was inducted into the Marketing Hall of Fame in New York City.
Al was a pioneer and continues to be the inspiration for everyone who practices positioning.
He worked until the day before his passing - on slides and client prjects!
He loved nothing more than his family and his work.

I worked with Meltem when I was on the Board of Evyap and Meltem was heading International Marketing.
She did an excellent job especially on Duru. She found a brand which was very fragmented, had no consistent positioning across variants and products, no consistent look and feel — and, despite starting from a very complex situation, she was able to find a way forward which truly created a brand. It’s one thing to create a brand from scratch — difficult in itself. It’s actually much harder to take a highly fragmented and inconsistent brand and create a brand from that. This all required Meltem to leverage her long experience on brands, her creativity in being able to map a way forward and her leadership to make it happen. It all happened in a short period of time. Meltem did similar work on other brands — with similar results.
She was always very good to deal with — had clear opinions, expressed her point of view well, was a good listener and was able to take multiple inputs and reflect them well.
