Your brand messaging guidelines clearly define your brand and how it will be communicated to the world. It is a foundational document that can then be used in sales proposals, marketing content (such as your website), PR, and more.
It will clarify your positioning, outline key messages, and create consistency to help attract the right audience. Importantly, it also saves time (and costs) when creating future marketing and sales assets.

Your brand messaging specialist
Knowledge seeker. Idea connector. Word wrangler.
Communicating with clarity and purpose is a superpower I’ve been honing since the days of dial-up internet.
Thanks to my diverse work history in marketing, product, communications, and sales, I know how to connect the dots fast and dig deep to find the ‘ah-huh!’ details that help nail your messaging. I ask the right questions, care about doing quality work, and will call out ideas I don’t think will stick (and explain why).
FAQ
What kind of business do you work with?
The Messaging Makeover works best for service-based businesses or SaaS brands.
Typically, my clients own or work for businesses that are doing well but have outgrown their current online presence. They’re looking to target new audiences, upsell to existing clients, or grow their revenue, and they recognise the story they’re telling about their business is holding them back.
They are founders or members of lean marketing teams who understand the value of clear, consistent, and compelling messaging but don’t have the in-house skills or the budget to justify agency fees. They’re looking for a nimble freelance expert to help them specifically with brand messaging and/or copywriting.
Can I use the same messages across different marketing assets?
Yes and no.
You can use the messages wherever you need them, including your website, LinkedIn profile, proposal documents and more. Having consistent messages across all channels helps build credibility and trust. However, messages will need to be adapted according to the channel. You can learn more about that below.
What’s the difference between messaging and copywriting?
Generally, messaging covers what you want to say, while copywriting covers how you want to say it and is adjusted according to the channel.
While messaging does include copy, it only makes up part of the copy you need. For example, key messages can be directly ‘copied-and-pasted’ for your website. However, you will need additional copy strategically mapped out to help the reader stop scrolling, stay on the page, and persuade them to take action.
Can you write the copy for me?
As an experienced copywriter, of course.
Once you’re clear on your messaging strategy, I can write copy for core marketing assets such as websites, LinkedIn pages, and sales proposals. Having messaging guidelines removes the guesswork, seriously cuts down on revision time (and costs), and produces better outcomes for you and your audience. I can also create other key content marketing assets, such as lead magnets and case studies.
