What Happens When Price AND Quality Don’t Differentiate?

Something's coming over the hill! In this episode of The Good Brand Podcast, Stewart sits down with Chris and Julie to tackle a thorny question: what happens when “cheap imports” aren’t cheap or inferior anymore, just good enough, well-priced, and increasingly well-branded? Using BYD and others as jumping-off points, we dig into how the playbook has shifted (price → quality → brand) and what that means for Western B2B manufacturers and tech firms.

We talk trust as a real moat (warranties, service, local presence), why heritage helps but won’t save you, and the unsexy truth that brand-building is a continuous practice, not a one-and-done campaign. No silver bullets, just what it takes to be match-fit before market share slips “slowly, then quickly.”
