Branding & Creative
What this is
We define positioning: the category a brand competes in, the audience it is for, the difference it can actually defend, and the narrative and messaging hierarchy that carry it into everything else.
Most positioning statements fail a simple test — a competitor could sign their name to them unchanged. Specificity is uncomfortable to commit to and is exactly what makes a brand memorable.
Claims anyone in the category could make do not differentiate, however well they are designed.
Its real value is in the campaigns, features and audiences it lets you decline.
Ours ends in messaging and creative territories, not an abstract diagram.
Use cases
A business that has changed but never restated what it is
