Minute by minute

60 minutes of teaching, then 30 minutes that are yours.

  1. 00:00

    Frame. Swap the logos on two competitor homepages and nobody notices. That is the problem being solved.

  2. 05:00

    Positioning stated properly. Category, for whom, against what alternative, and the proof that makes it defensible.

  3. 15:00

    The messaging house. One claim, three pillars, evidence under each pillar. Where most brands stop too early.

  4. 28:00

    Build one. A real brand volunteered from the audience, taken to a full messaging house on screen.Live

  5. 43:00

    Into channel. The same claim expressed as a paid ad, a landing page headline and a founder post, without drift.

  6. 52:00

    The gap. A messaging house survives contact with a market only if it was tested against real buyer language.

  7. 57:00

    Recap and hand to Q&A.

  8. 60:00

    Q&A: open floor. 16 minutes on questions collected in chat, ranked by a moderator, not answered first-come.

  9. 76:00

    Q&A: seeded. 8 minutes on two planted questions that set up the programme.

  10. 84:00

    Close. 6 minutes: cohort dates, what the programme adds, one offer with a stated deadline.

Questions are collected in the chat throughout and ranked by a moderator, so the ones most people asked get answered first.

Where this session goes next

The gap, named honestly.

A messaging house survives contact with a market only if it was tested against real buyer language.
