Frequently asked questions about Messaging & Positioning
We’ve always just written content we think our users care about. Why do we need this kind of strategy?
There’s a huge difference between thinking and knowing what types of content your users care about. Having a strategy in place empowers you to use real data to create a holistic approach — and keep your team focused on the goals you want your content to achieve. That means you can measure the success of your copy so you’re not guessing whether your content is effective after it’s rolled out.
What if I just want help with creating simple copy without the strategy piece?
We can meet you where you are on your content journey, although any messaging project will require some level of research, discovery, and strategic direction. Let’s discuss your organization’s specific needs to see what makes the most sense for you.
What's the key to building organizational alignment around brand positioning?
The secret sauce is in our approach. We have deep experience using a variety of tools to build team consensus across all levels of very large organizations with many departments — and sometimes competing and disparate interests.
This type of brand work hasn't worked for us in the past — why should we try again?
Our experienced team can help you leverage approaches, nuances, and changes in your market that you may not have considered before. Across the board, we find that the organizations we work with gain a stronger market foothold and enjoy better future outcomes when brand positioning and alignment are done right.
Does better brand positioning improve our SEO and conversion rates?
Yes! Carefully analyzing your competitive landscape and search patterns helps us differentiate your organization and align with user needs and interests. Leveraging that information to improve your website experience positively impacts your search positioning — and gives users the confidence they need to take action on your site.
