Stop Copying Competitors and Do This Instead

2026-01-13 3 Dailymotion

Why You Should Study Your Competition (Hint: It’s Not to Copy Them)

Most people study their competition for the wrong reason.

They look for tactics to imitate, offers to mirror, and messaging to mimic. That approach almost guarantees you blend in and sound like everyone else.

In this short clip, marketing and branding expert Luna Battalia explains the real reason to study your competition. Not to copy what they are doing, but to dig deeper, identify what makes you different, and double down on what makes you better.

Competition is not a blueprint. It is contrast.

When you study others the right way, you gain clarity around your own strengths, your voice, your positioning, and the unique value only you can bring to the market.

This clip is a moment from a longer conversation focused on branding, differentiation, and how to remove the “ick” people associate with marketing by shifting from marketing to sharing.

If you want the full context and deeper insights, you can explore the complete conversation below.
