Your brand message is the narrative of your company.

POsition your business and communicate it clearly
Brand positioning and messaging identifies the critical aspects of both your customers and your business. The process aligns internal stakeholders and results in clear, compelling messaging for external audiences.
To develop your brand positioning and messaging, we work to identify your personas, understand your customers' pains, articulate what you do to solve those pains, define unique differentiators, and hone your corporate pitch.

create a Visual brand
Your visual brand consists of the design elements that communicate your company’s values and personality. The design of every piece of content you produce conveys something about your brand at first glance, before a prospect reads a single word.
Our work in visual branding involves logo design, color selection, and identifying images, icons, and shapes to use consistently throughout all content. These elements are included in a corporate style guide that provides a tool for consistent branding over time.

establish thought leadership
We work to establish thought leadership for companies and specific company leaders. This process involves identifying topics where your expertise runs deep, and then planning, creating and publishing multiple types of content on different platforms.
Thought leadership campaigns include executive advisement, spokesperson training, pitching speaking opportunities and follow-on speechwriting, managing a corporate or individual LinkedIn presence and posts, writing news releases and executing PR outreach.

ignite a culture campaign
When companies have a distinct culture that employees and customers love, it's an opportunity to create messaging that attracts prospects and helps recruit the best staff possible.
To create strong brand marketing that treats culture as a competitive advantage, we interview employees, customers, and other stakeholders, define headlines and messages, and promote culture internally and externally.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
What is brand positioning?
Brand positioning is the process of getting your target audience to know your brand and associate it with specific characteristics and attributes. One of the first steps to brand positioning is to create a company positioning statement that describes what you do, who you do it for, and what differentiates you from others in the market.
-
Do I need brand positioning and messaging if what we sell is a commodity?
Certainly. Prospects will choose to buy from you or your competitors, and you need to differentiate yourself from those competitors to be the final choice.
After brand positioning and messaging, every content can and should pull from your messaging document as the single source of truth to provide a definition of your company and your differentiators. The result of the brand positioning and messaging project is defined messaging that takes the burden off of sales, marketing, engineering, project management, etc. to come up with a story for every engagement, and in turn gives them the compelling story to tell every time. Your customers only interact with you every now and then -- it's imperative that they know exactly who you are, what you do, and what benefits you can provide them. They'll learn these value propositions by encountering your consistent solution delivery and message over time.

How do I write clear brand messaging?
-
How do I rebrand after a merger or acquisition?
Rebranding occurs when a company decides to change a significant element of its brand, and is typically necessary when a company is involved in a merger or acquisition. Rebranding could include a name change, new or refreshed logo, revised brand positioning and messaging – or all of the above. A rebrand needs careful planning, a clear message, and specific messages for stakeholders.
-
How do I create a tagline?
While it is a semantic branding piece that helps you in your overall messaging, tagline development doesn’t have to stop you in your tracks for months. When you’re developing a tagline, brainstorm and then take a step back. Leave your notes aside for a few days and see what you think when you read the tag lines again with a clear mind.
-
What happens after a brand positioning and messaging project?
After you’ve gone through the intentional and specific process of defining your company position and messaging your pitch, differentiators, and company narrative…what’s next? At this point, you often have a core group of people who are passionately aligned over a concise text document. It’s not the amount of words on the page, but the clarity and specificity of those words that show the work poured into the document. To share your brand message, you need more than that document. You need to disseminate the message through other channels.
-
How do I develop a corporate pitch deck?
A corporate slide deck can be disseminated through your company so that multiple teams can give presentations that have the same look, feel, and message. It helps to create a script for each slide and including it in the notes for that slide. Presenters don’t need to use the script verbatim, but an available script allows a presenter to understand the main point for each slide and get a feel for the key related messages. They can then use whatever words and personal stories they need to articulate the corporate message with their own voice.
