The risk before the launch

The message won the meeting. The buyer was not in the room.

A workshop and a deck can settle the internal argument without showing where the position departs from buyer evidence.

  • The workshop settles a coherent position.
  • The launch plan turns that position into work and spend.
  • The results leave the team separating message, media and market after the fact.

The positioning gap

Find the gap before you fund the launch.

Public evidence sharpens the hypothesis. The market test remains the market test.

  1. 01

    Set out the position.

    Use the claim the team is preparing to carry into market.

  2. 02

    Inspect buyer evidence.

    Compare it with segment priorities, objections and demands for proof, with the source open.

  3. 03

    Make the call.

    Keep it, revise it or reserve it for a live market test.

The next brand decision

Reopen the positioning when something material changes.

Keep the approved position current in Brand DNA as the go-to-market changes.

A new offer

Does the Value Proposition still explain why it should be chosen?

A new audience

Which priorities, objections and demands for proof matter now?

The market responds

Compare observed results with the original hypothesis before changing the message, channel or offer.
