How it connects

A course or an engagement?

The courses teach the method; the engagements apply it. If the problem is that your team does not know how, take the course. If the problem is that nobody has time to do it, take the engagement.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is this course for?
Founders, general managers and brand leads. No finance background needed, but bring a real problem from your own brand.
How is positioning different from the marketing we already do?
Marketing answers how to say it; positioning answers what to say. Get the order wrong and the marketing scatters.
Can we produce a position ourselves afterwards?
You will have the framework and the direction. Landing it in product structure and a super menu usually needs the intensity of an engagement.
Can only the management team attend?
Yes, but if only the owner understands it, nothing moves when you get back. We suggest the core team attends together.
How long is the course?
Usually a concentrated session plus live workshop time; format and duration are arranged on request.
