What it does

Develop brand positioning statement and messaging hierarchy against competition

Best for

Early-stage or rebranding companies who need to distill positioning before all marketing tactics (copy/campaigns/channels).

Inputs
  • · target audience + job-to-be-done
  • · competitive set (3–5 key competitors)
  • · brand attributes/values
Outputs
  • · positioning statement (1–2 sentences)
  • · messaging pillars (3–5)
  • · proof points mapped to each pillar
  • · competitive narrative (what makes us different)
Preconditions

  • · competitive set identified
Failure modes
  • · generic positioning ('best solution for everyone')

Trust signals
  • · positioning template with examples
  • · messaging pillar framework (3–5 pillars with examples)
  • · proof point mapping (1–3 per pillar)
  • · competitive narrative template
  • · differentiation scoring (which pillar is most defensible)
