Value Proposition

True competitive advantage is gained via the articulation and execution of the value which tech companies bring to the marketplace. A customer value proposition (CVP) expresses such value as a unifying overarching idea that will resonate in the minds of key audiences internally and externally. The best CVPs are desired by the marketplace, differentiated vs. direct and emerging competitors, and deliverable over the short- and long-term.

Brand Strategy and Positioning

Marketplace dynamics change near-daily in tech, forcing companies to continually reassert and refresh brands. Too often, brand positioning and messaging development falls short of identifying the set of emotional benefits that will lead to a truly resonating emotional bond with the target. Internally-focused / engineering-thinking is often too caught up in an offering’s functional features and attributes to move beyond them and capture the emotional underpinnings that can potentially drive brand preference and loyalty.
