What this is

Build a simple messaging framework: audience, problem, promise, differentiators, tone of voice and a short message house you can use across your site, emails and sales conversations. The course is organized into 6 modules — messaging foundations, audience, positioning, message hierarchy, voice and tone and applying it — with 18 lessons in total, so you build the skill in a sensible order and can return to any part when you need it.

It does not include logo or visual identity design and does not promise brand awareness or sales. It gives you a written messaging foundation so your website, sales conversations and content all say the same clear thing.

What you will be able to do

  • Write a positioning statement for your business or product
  • Describe your audience and their main problems in their own words
  • Create a short message hierarchy: headline, supporting points, proof
  • Define a simple voice and tone guide
  • Apply the messaging to a homepage, profile and pitch
