The short version

What is brand positioning?

Brand positioning is the clear, defensible statement of who your firm is, who it is for, and why it is different. It is the decision every other marketing choice flows from. Get it right and the website, the content, and the pitch all line up. Get it wrong and no amount of execution fixes the confusion.
