For Kraft, the South Beach deal seems an admission that the diet - - linked with celebrity dieters such as Bill Clinton, Bette Midler and Nicole Kidman -- may be a bigger consumer draw currently than the Kraft name. The South Beach Diet book, by cardiologist Arthur Agatston, has sold more than 8 million copies. Among Kraft products that will carry the South Beach diet seal of approval is Jello.

Answer to Question 1

Effective positioning begins with substance. Jell-O must be able to deliver whatever the position promises. The positioning strategy must be consistent internally. Everything must work in combination to reinforce a distinct perception in the consumer's mind about what a brand stands for. The position should remain consistent over time. This gives the brand an opportunity to break through advertising clutter and establish what it stands for. Finally, the position must be simple and distinctive. No matter how much substance has been built into a product, it will fail if the consumer doesn't perceive what the product can do.
