A practical messaging framework

How to build a brand message house

Use one message house to align the promise you make, the benefits each audience receives, and the evidence that makes those benefits believable.

1. Write the roof: state your purpose and the clear promise you make to your audience.
2. Build the pillars: pair each audience benefit with the pain point it addresses and a proof point.
3. Set the foundation: record your differentiators and the words your team should use or avoid.
4. Review together: test every statement for clarity, accuracy and consistency before using it in communications.
