Strategic Narrative, Category Design, or Brand Strategy?

On this week’s episode of The SaaS Brand Strategy Show, we dissect the debate between business strategy legends Andy Raskin and Christopher Lochhead. Though framed in different ways, there’s an escalating focus on the story businesses use to tell and sell the market. With all our respect to these luminaries that have blazed the trail before us, we dive into their points of view, and ask the question—where is all this language coming from, in the messaging and positioning space? Do these points of view reflect different approaches to the same goal? Semantics or substance?

We roll across a lot who try, but Front.com is one of the few who have done a great job bringing the strategy to life and to market. It's not all roses, though. There are a couple of opportunities for improvement.
