Positioning & Messaging Sprint

A short, research-led engagement that turns “we do a lot of things” into a focused story customers can repeat — across your website, proposals, and campaigns.

Clear market angle

Define your audience, the problem you solve, and the reason you win — without sounding like everyone else in your category.

Reusable message blocks

Get copy blocks and proof prompts you can drop into pages, ads, emails, and sales decks.

Evidence-first, not vibes

We base decisions on customer language, competitor patterns, and what your offer can credibly deliver.

When this sprint is a fit

  • You’re updating your website and want the story locked before design starts.
  • You’re launching a new service or package and want a focused angle.
  • Your sales calls stall at “so… what do you actually do?”
  • Marketing feels busy, but messaging isn’t consistent across channels.

When it’s not a fit

  • You want a one-hour brainstorm (this is structured, documented work).
  • You need a full redesign + development (I can partner with your team, but I don’t sell web dev).
  • You’re looking for guaranteed results (we focus on controllable inputs and quality decisions).

What you get

Everything is delivered in a clean, shareable doc your team can use as a single source of truth.

Messaging framework

  • Primary audience + “who this is not for”
  • Core problem + stakes + desired outcome
  • Value proposition and differentiators (with proof prompts)
  • Tone guidelines (what we say / avoid)
  • Competitor language patterns (what to zig when others zag)

Copy blocks you can reuse

  • Homepage hero options + supporting bullets
  • Service statement + what’s included outline
  • FAQ-style objections and answers
  • Short pitch + long pitch versions
  • CTA language matched to your buying cycle
Optional add-on: If you want, we can roll the sprint straight into a Website Copy System or build campaign landing pages with the same message map.

How it runs

A simple process designed to keep momentum without turning your calendar into wall-to-wall meetings.

Full process

Discovery & inputs

We align on goals, your offer, your audience, and what “good” looks like. You share existing assets (site, deck, call notes, reviews, etc.).

Research & synthesis

I review competitors, map key objections, and gather customer language (via materials you provide or optional interviews).

Framework & copy blocks

You get a first draft with multiple angles and recommendations. We refine toward the clearest, most credible direction.

Finalize & handoff

Final doc + quick walkthrough. Your team can implement immediately, or we can continue into pages and campaigns.

Timeline

Typical turnaround is 10–14 business days after kickoff, depending on scope and how quickly we can gather inputs.

If you have a hard launch date, mention it. We’ll confirm feasibility before you commit.

Typical investment

$2,500–$5,000 for most sprint scopes.

You’ll receive a fixed-scope quote (no surprise hours). Optional customer interviews are scoped separately.
