Why positioning comes first

Most B2B communications fail before a single press release is written, because the business has not decided what it wants to be known for. Positioning is that decision: the space you own in the minds of your buyers, investors and the media, and the reasons they should believe it.

Our strategy development work gives you that clarity, written down, agreed by your leadership and ready to be executed across PR, marketing and sales.

What the work involves

  • Leadership interviews. We speak to your founders, executives and where useful your clients, to understand what you do differently and why it matters.
  • Competitor and market analysis. We map how competitors present themselves, where the media conversation is, and where there is space to lead.
  • Audience mapping. We define the people you need to reach, what they read, what they worry about and what would make them act.
  • Positioning statement and proof points. A clear articulation of your place in the market, supported by evidence.
  • Communications strategy. Objectives, priority messages, target media, campaign themes, spokespeople and a calendar for the first six to twelve months.

What you receive

A written strategy document your whole leadership team can use, a summary deck for internal alignment, and a plan we can start delivering immediately. Most positioning projects take four to six weeks.

Who this is for

Businesses launching or relaunching, companies preparing for investment or sale, firms whose market has shifted under them, and leadership teams who suspect their communications say less than the business deserves.

Frequently asked questions

How long does a positioning project take?

Typically four to six weeks from kick-off to a signed-off strategy, depending on how many stakeholders need to be interviewed and how quickly decisions can be made.

Is this the same as a brand agency's work?

No. A brand agency usually focuses on identity: name, visual system, design. We focus on what the business says and to whom, and how that is delivered through earned media and content. The two complement each other, and we often work alongside design agencies.

Can you work with an existing messaging framework?

Yes. If you already have positioning and messaging, we will review it against the market and your objectives and either build on it or recommend where it needs to change.
