B2B Branding Services & Strategy

What can PJA's brand positioning approach do for my brand?

As an outward expression of what your business stands for, your brand has the power to drive transformative value for you and your buyers, teaching them how to solve problems in new ways while introducing new prospects to your pipeline. It’s the first step in helping those audiences understand your unique value and want to make that change with you. That takes a brand story that:

Explains why the world needs you, and the change you are bringing to your market
Drives a unique thought leadership POV on the status quo your changing, and why buyers should rethink it
Sets up campaign experiences that invite buyers, influencers, and employees to experience your change

Over the past fifteen years, we’ve used this approach to position some of the world’s leading B2B brands including the world's largest developer-centric security intelligence platform, the largest clinical lab services provider in the US, the leading high-performance analytics platform for temporal AI, two of the largest rare-disease biotechs, and many more innovation-driven brands.

What sets PJA’s brand discovery process apart?

We make brand discovery easier and faster by focusing on identifying the gaps, or unmet buyer needs, and the assets – your unique strengths – that matter most.

Our B2B and B2C clients often already have many of the insights we’re looking for. We find them by reviewing investor and strategy presentations, mission and vision statements, and existing stakeholder research, and then we conduct focused discovery interviews with your leadership team and key external stakeholders.

Synthetic research also plays a role, by allowing us to expand and refine our discovery findings in interviews with sophisticated digital versions of your key audiences.

We then distill these to create a set of brand opportunities that will drive a high-energy positioning workshop with your leadership team.

How will PJA uncover brand opportunities for me?

We facilitate a two-hour workshop with up to 10 of your most important stakeholders. In this time together, they’ll become co-creators of your new positioning, paving the way for a leadership team ready to fall in love with your new brand messaging.

A key exercise of the workshop revolves around drafting a set of opportunity statements, aligned with the steps of the change ladder – our tool for visualizing the level of change you aspire to drive in your market.
