SUMMARY
You are entering the Winter of 2003 and things look bleak. You were once the category leader, the pioneer and the dominant brand in your industry. Now you are #2 and on your way being #3 in market share. You are weakened by a price war and your biggest rival has vowed to crush all competitors by ___spending more than anyone else can afford__. You have a great company, but no clear proprietary advantage. How do you return to brand prominence? If you are Travelocity, you invest in a creative idea that establishes your brand as an enabler for savvy consumers and, as a result, the downward brand momentum has been reversed and site visitation to-date is 208% of goal.
