In crowded marketplaces, distinct positioning is no longer optional—it's essential for survival and growth. BAR40 Fractional Solutions helps you transcend the noise by developing clear, compelling brand positioning and marketing strategies that resonate with your ideal customers.

 

Led by Eric Bartosz, with 20+ years of executive experience and a background as an MBA professor specializing in marketing effectiveness, we deliver strategic marketing leadership without the cost of a full-time CMO.

Create Meaningful Differentiation That Drives Growth

In markets where products and services increasingly look alike, your positioning makes all the difference. We help you:

  • Competitive Positioning Analysis: Evaluate where you stand relative to competitors and identify white space opportunities

Our positioning work creates clear separation from competitors, elevating your offerings beyond commodity comparisons and price-based decisions.

ICP Development and Data-Backed Targeted Outreach Strategies

Marketing effectiveness begins with precision targeting. Our approach ensures your resources focus on the right audiences:

Our market intelligence work helps you make confident strategic decisions based on insights rather than assumptions.

Relationship-Building Techniques That Turn Prospects Into Loyal Customers

Modern marketing extends far beyond acquisition to focus on the complete customer lifecycle. We help you:

  • Customer Experience Mapping: Identify key moments that define the relationship with your brand
