Stand out where it matters
A Brand Positioning Workshop | In-Person or Online
Brand Positioning
How do customers perceive you? What do you stand for? And what differentiates you from your competitors?
- The best B2B brands define their market space and position, which helps them stand out to the right customers. A positioning statement guides decisions and shapes marketing, customer experience, and business direction.
- Engaging with stakeholders can help you build a shared understanding and commitment to your brand. A clear market position can set your brand apart, creating a unique proposition that appeals to your target audience.
What You Stand For
Establish a precise identity by outlining your brand's differentiation. Make sure this shows your beliefs and principles. This will build a brand that resonates with stakeholders.
Competitor Positioning
Identify how competitors are positioned and assess their strengths and weaknesses. Use this knowledge to differentiate effectively, emphasising unique attributes that set you apart.

Your Customer's Jobs

Develop a Messaging Framework
A Brand Narrative Workshop | In-Person or Online
The Value of Brand Narrative
A brand narrative shapes your marketing and communications strategy. It's not a script to be repeated verbatim. You must interpret it and tailor it to your customers' individual situations.
- A robust and cohesive brand must stand for something. Your brand persona, values, and purpose are the foundation of your story. You establish the DNA that must run through everything you say or show.
Brand Pillars
Brand Pillars are characteristics and core values that help define your company's identity and personality. They help develop the brand story and organise its messaging for the audience.
Brand Persona
Creating a clear brand persona is vital. It helps attract and retain clients and staff. It demonstrates your reliability and excellence, helping your brand connect with customers.
Brand Story
Define the change customers need from you. Hone the problem you solve for them. Show empathy. Establish your authority. Introduce a plan to make them heroes in your story.
Grow your digital reach and impact
A Brand Identity Workshop | Online
Brand Identity
Your brand identity is compiled from a collection of elements that culminate to create a feeling about your business. A strong B2B brand will match its buyers' needs, interests, and challenges.
- Your brand identity includes how your company looks, feels, and communicates. This must be true across all channels. It creates a clear image that reflects your values and aims and sets you apart from competitors.
- In addition to customer needs, focus on operational excellence. Incorporating advanced practices and maintaining high standards across operations helps build trust and distinguish your business in a competitive market.

Tone of Voice
Your brand is not just about what you say but how you say it. Your 'tone of voice' should reflect your values, connect with your target audience, and be consistent across all channels.
Visual Identity
Extend your digital brand and enhance its impact. Your logo, colours, and typography are integral to a design style that should mirror your brand's identity and beliefs. Consistency builds trust.
Brand Promise
Outline the consistent experience customers can expect. Highlight your brand's intangibles: innovation, quality, sustainability, ethics, and communication. These can set you apart.
