When Money Is No Object -- You Buy Bose?


I saw this on the check out line at the supermarket.  The pit living room is the cover shot for this month's Dwell magazine.  There are many things I like about the house, not that I would make the same choices, but it's a nice look.  The integration of the building and the terrain is marvelous.  However, the Bose 901s and how they're positioned with all that glass just made me laugh.  Did a designer do that to them as a joke?

About 15 years ago, I attended an executive seminar on a "new way" to seamlessly integrate marketing/branding with product development in a long-term enterprise strategy. The facilitator used the Bose team’s previously completed "strategically-integrated marketing/product development plan" as an example of how to master the exercise at hand.

The first seminar exercise was to produce a list of attributes and order them from 1 to 10 according to importance to the strategy. The Bose team’s list had #1 "Brand Perception" and #2 "Market Appeal". "Sound Quality" was #7 out of the 10.

Perfectly executed strategy, don’t you think?
