Brand-led · Brand Positioning

Answer “why you?” in one line.

When buyers can’t tell you from the next supplier, they choose on price. Brand Positioning finds the reason to choose you that nobody in your category owns, builds the proof behind it, and gives you a 90-day plan to launch it.

How we work together

Payment

Single phase: 50% at kickoff, 50% at sign-off. Full programme: 40% at kickoff, 30% at Phase 2 sign-off, 30% at final delivery.

Adding a phase

Add the next phase within 45 days and part of the previous phase fee is credited against it.

Where you can start

Define needs a Demand Atlas or your own buyer research, or a 3-day Rapid Demand Scan first. Express needs a documented positioning.

Process

One lead strategist, a weekly call, one revision round per sign-off, feedback within three working days.

What we need from you

One decision-maker as contact, access to sales data and past research, and 2–3 people for interviews.

Not included

Logo and identity, packaging design, creative production, media and website build. We quote these separately.

Ownership

Final deliverables are yours on full payment. We may reuse anonymised learnings and our method.

Confidentiality

Both sides keep shared information confidential. Case references stay anonymised unless you agree in writing.

Timing

Delays in inputs or approvals shift dates equally. Third-party costs such as travel, research panels and data are billed at actuals, with your approval first.

faq

Questions owners ask

What is brand positioning, in plain words?

The one reason a buyer should choose you over the next supplier, that no rival already owns, with the proof that makes it believable.

Can I buy just one phase?

Yes. Each phase ends in its own sign-off. Define needs a Demand Atlas or your own buyer research (or a three-day Rapid Demand Scan first), and Express needs a documented positioning.

How much does it cost?

Fees are quoted per business, plus GST. The full programme costs 15% less than buying the phases separately, and if you add the next phase within 45 days, part of the previous fee is credited.

How much of our time does it take?

One decision-maker as the contact, access to sales data and past research, two or three people for interviews, a weekly call, and feedback within three working days.

Does it include a logo or packaging?

No. Logo, identity, packaging, production, media and website build are quoted separately. Our Design-led products build them on the positioning.

Will it work for a B2B or commodity business?

Yes. Each phase has a lens for commodity, B2B and consumer businesses, from value-chain and margin maps to buyer interviews and lost-deal reviews.
