Articulating benefits helps highlight latent brand opportunities

We connect attributes to benefits
  – Deconstructing the offer
  – Then exploring the potential
     benefit chains of each element
     individually before looking
     again at the whole

Useful for understanding latent brand strengths as well as more obvious ones
  – Opportunities for brand stretch
     or repositioning
