Candy Crush Brand Trajectory
Brands “grow up” and age just like people do.
Some brands in their infancy (Warby Parker, Instagram) seem to pop out of nowhere to dominate their space. Most successful brands follow a natural course and age to become “old” brands (JC Penny, Volvo) that most people associate with a prior generation. But there are a handful of brands (Coca-Cola, Disney) that seem timeless. What’s the secret? Careful management of their brand trajectory.
Brand trajectory is the measurement of a brand’s current and future positioning in its target markets. Brand trajectory is measured via regular customer surveys of brand awareness and positioning. Polls like this one help reveal consumers perception of an established brand, and their opinions on its future prospects.
Despite the strong brand awareness, 50 mobile gamers rate the future prospects of Candy Crush as only 3.4 out of 5. Some of the reasons cited included the fact that there are lots of clones now and there hasn’t been enough innovation in the game lately. Those that are bullish on the prospects note the addictive nature.
