According to Nethy in a forum, to appear in organic search for competitor brand keywords, you will need to have content relating to them. A common way of targeting competition brand keywords is a comparison: MyBrand vs CompetingBrand page. This is not a no downside move (as is PPC). You will need to promote your product in a certain way, comparing it to a competitor. It creates a certain brand image.
