SWOT Analysis

SWOT (an acronym for “strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats”) analysis is a strategic
planning tool that gives you insight into the current state of your business in the context of market
and consumer conditions. 

It forces you to be brutally honest about where you are today and the possibilities that lie ahead,
laying the foundation for brand and business strategies and goal-setting. SWOTs are agile because
they can be applied to any aspect of your product, brand, or business—as long as they align with
your overall brand or business goals.

Assessing the strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats is an essential process for any
brand
