Renault Positioning
This car brand has been struggling for some time with which course to take. After many successful models such as the Clio, Megane, Twingo and many more, the brand has somewhat hollowed out in recent years. According to brand specialists Tal Gonen and Ties Morskate, they have lost their course a bit. Or rather: they never really had a course.
Today we discuss the positioning of the French car brand Renault based on their newest model: the Renault 5. This model is a revival of the old Renault 5 and their answer to the new wind blowing in the automotive world.
We discuss and question each other about the future of this brand and whether this new model actually brings a revival of France’s pride. After listening, you will know everything about Renault, its new strategy ‘Nouvelle Vague’ (which also means ‘vague’), and the lessons we can learn in marketing from one of France’s most famous brands.
Will Renault make it through with this new model? What do our positioning experts think? And would you want to have it yourself? Listen and join the conversation in this new episode of ‘Don’t be a penguin’!
