What is a brand canvas?
The brand canvas template helps you underscore your unique value by forming a single statement about your product or service. For larger companies, the brand’s position is gospel; for startups, it provides focus amid growing pains and necessary pivots. The brand positioning statement becomes a resource when you’re faced with the question of whether or not a potential decision is “on brand”.
How do you create a brand positioning canvas?
Establishing your brand’s position in the marketplace is not an overnight exercise. Whether you are a startup in the early stages of developing a product or a long-established company seeking to reinvent itself and stay relevant, positioning and repositioning your brand is meant to be a process. The end result, however, must be a crystal clear brand positioning statement that will inform both internal decision-making and external communications and how the two feed off of each other.
- Define your target audience.
- Succinctly capture the problem you’re trying to solve.
- Outline your solution.
- Analyze your market landscape.
- Explain why your product has an unfair advantage and give customers a “reason to believe”.
Then organize the insights you’ve gleaned from going through this process.
Here’s a suggested formula for creating your brand positioning statement:
For the TARGET AUDIENCE who has this PROBLEM, your company provides this SOLUTION. Different from the MARKET LANDSCAPE, you have this ADVANTAGE by providing this REASON TO BELIEVE.
