This document discusses how framing can be used to create a competitive advantage. It outlines four styles of framing: 1) Head to Head, where there is no clear category leader; 2) Big Fish, Smaller Pond, targeting an underserved sub-segment; 3) Reframe the Market, highlighting strengths through breakthrough innovation; and 4) Change the Game, inventing a new market category. The key is deliberately setting context to position a product or company strategically relative to competitors. Framing done well can highlight strengths and make competitors irrelevant, but risks include fast followers and categories not highlighting strengths.
