Partner with Consultants Who Leave No Stone Unturned
Every company, no matter how big or small, can use a healthy injection of strategic brand messaging. Perhaps sales have gone stagnant, you’re exploring a new venture, or you want increased performance with an upcoming product launch. Insight to Action is the brand positioning consulting firm that can define your brand value in a clear, compelling way and translate analytical data into meaningful actions.
Our Approach to Positioning Strategy
To achieve consistent sales growth and market penetration, your message must be clear-cut and consistent but also flexible enough to meet shifting demands. Insight to Action develops a brand positioning strategy for growth based on what’s working for your business, emerging trends, and untapped market segments. Our consultants get to know you deeply to understand how your enterprise works, and how you envision it operating in the future.
Our analysis helps you answer core uncertainties, such as:
- What demographics, motivations, and characteristics do your VIP customers share?
- What emotional and functional benefits do buyers seek to prompt a purchase?
- Why should prospects believe your business will deliver on promised benefits?
Your brand positioning lays the groundwork for all communications, including content creation, social media, PPC advertising, email marketing campaigns, new product development, and emerging market exploration.
How We Develop Your Brand Messaging
An effective, authentic brand messaging strategy shifts your company to the forefront of your customers’ minds, attracts new prospects, and enables you to work toward your company’s mission and purpose with exceptional efficiency.
While every client is unique, our process generally follows these steps:
Discovery and Planning:
Insight to Action interviews your management and stakeholders to get a clear understanding of your goals, strengths, and weaknesses. We may interview your target consumers to identify how they view your brand or to see where you fit within the broader market competition. We review any of your existing research that’s relevant to the project.
End Goals:
- Summarize hypothesized benefit areas.
- Outline developing positioning message statements.
- Formulate a plan for conducting research that keeps a pulse on your status within your respective industry.
Research the Primary Target Customer:
We conduct a series of focus groups or one-on-one interviews to test positioning messages.These conceptual statements lead with a clearly-defined benefit that has the power to resonate emotionally with consumers, while presenting a functional appeal that is supported by reasons to believe in your brand’s stated strengths.
End Goals:
- Identify which benefits are strongest and best supported.
- Generate new ideas that resonate with your target market.
- Discard ideas that don’t show potential.
- Strengthen and polish the most promising ideas into winning concepts that will directly tie to your future success.
Secondary Research:
Due diligence is what you expect from your branding consulting firm. Before making final recommendations, we run a thorough review of your competitors to ensure there are no overlaps. We consult with independent, widely-respected experts in your field for category insights and information on developing trends that might affect your business.
End Goals:
- Give you the leading edge.
- Keep you updated on new developments in your market that might impact positioning.
- Share competitive insights with your team in an exciting, thought-provoking review session.
Strategy and Messaging:
Data is easy to come by and difficult to make sense of. Insight to Action looks at the information you have assembled already, as well as a cadre of new data, to extrapolate the most meaningful findings. We break it down into an actionable plan for growth.
End Goals:
- Put you in the driver’s seat with intelligence that will aid decision-making.
- Provide you with a board meeting-ready executive summary.
- Give your agency a creative brief that passes the learning on.
- Translate research into go-to-market actions you can implement today and tomorrow.
Why Choose Insight to Action as Your Brand Positioning Consulting Firm?
