03 — POSITIONING & MESSAGING

The decision
that changes everything

Positioning defines how you're perceived in the market. If you don't control it, your competition does.

Without clear positioning, the market ignores or confuses you

Generic messaging

If your value proposition could apply to any company in your sector, you don't have positioning. You have noise.

Undifferentiated from competition

When buyers see no difference, they buy on price. Positioning breaks that dynamic.

Internal inconsistency

Sales says one thing, marketing another, the website another. Without a messaging framework, every channel contradicts the previous one.

The complete messaging and positioning system

01
Strategic positioning document

Product category, key differentiators, real alternatives and reason to believe. Based on April Dunford's methodology adapted to your context.

02
Messaging framework by persona

The primary and secondary messages for each persona in the buying process. With the angle that resonates most in each case.

03
Refined value proposition

A clear sentence that explains what you do, for whom and why you're different. Tested with real customers.

04
Tone and voice guide

How your brand sounds across every channel. With good practice examples and anti-patterns to avoid.

05
Main website copy

Headlines, subheadlines and homepage copy applying the new positioning. Ready to implement.

06
Elevator pitch by audience

The 30-second version of the message for each type of stakeholder. So the whole team uses it consistently.

  • Your message isn't converting as expected
  • Buyers don't understand what differentiates you
  • You're redesigning the website or launching a campaign
  • You've pivoted and need to reposition
  • Your team doesn't have a consistent message
  • You have no real customers to validate the message with
  • You're only looking for a new tagline without strategic work
  • You don't have a defined ICP (you can start there)

What people ask about positioning

We use April Dunford's methodology (Obviously Awesome) as a base, adapted to B2B tech products and complemented with our own qualitative research. It's not a rigid framework — we adapt it to each company's context.

Positioning can't be done without the team. We need 1-2 key people (usually CEO/CPO + someone from sales) for working sessions. The output is much stronger when there's internal alignment from the start.

We include the main homepage copy and key messages. The visual redesign and technical implementation are out of scope, though we can recommend trusted partners.

Yes. The most common combination is Positioning with ICP (to have the research base) or with Sales Enablement (to translate the new positioning into sales materials). We offer combined packages.
