Wendy’s conundrum, continue copy-cat marketing and menu ideation or focus on the customer.



Does Wendy’s understand that cultivating a brand is more important that managing a brand? Brands are dynamic not static, they develop and grow with the consumer. Identifying distinctive differentiated programs, positioning and consumable’s by day part that reflect the brand, industry trends, consumer preferences  is an area that Wendy’s simply has not excelled.   Creating copy-cat menu items and positioning statements is an area that they of late have done much better.  Note: if you’re going to copy, pick programs, products and positioning that garners more than trial.

Recycling c-level marketing team members is another area Wendy’s excels.  However those that are successful generally in-addition bring in Outside Eye’s. Outside eyes can add new light and assist a company in redevelopment and deployment of new products and brand positioning. Clearly Wendy’s needs some outside help identifying distinctive differentiated food consumables, trends, and day-parts to create a point of or any differentiation.
