positioning | go-to-market messaging

Turning complex ideas into clear, executable communication

I work with B2B companies where the offer is strong, but the message isn’t landing.

At a time when AI can generate endless ideas, I help teams find the ones worth keeping, make sense of them together, and build a message they can stand behind. 

The brand is strong. The product is good. But the customer still doesn’t get it.

B2B teams rarely lack ideas. Today, when everyone shows up with a 15-page proposal they’ve generated, it’s judgment, choice, and then commitment that counts.

AI produces language and options at scale. The hard part is deciding what matters and backing it.

This work involves clarifying the offer and turning the strongest ideas into communication that cuts through and drives action.

My background spans journalism, financial publishing, product development, and platform launches – always close to commercial reality.

That includes helping bring a trading and pricing platform to market ahead of competitors, reaching $750m in benchmarked volumes.

How I work

When tools such as Breeze, ChatGPT, and Claude are already in play, the work starts by sifting the output, identifying the few ideas worth backing, and turning them into communication people can actually use.

If AI is not yet part of the process, I will often suggest bringing it in — not as a substitute for judgment, but as a way to surface options, test language, and accelerate the work.

How that works:
• understand the commercial reality
• clarify the message
• strengthen the positioning
• translate it into communication
• build the alignment, ownership and follow-through to activate it 

The aim is always the same — clearer thinking, stronger conversations, and communication that actually supports growth.

Working with teams

Much of this work happens through conversation.

I often work directly with leadership or commercial teams to explore how the business is understood — internally and externally — and where things may be getting lost.

This can take the form of small group sessions, workshops or ongoing dialogue, with the aim of creating clarity that people can actually use in practice.

It’s hard to overstate the influence Tim Wright has had on me personally and professionally. He combines humour, leadership and relentless execution — and shows how growth as an organiser goes hand in hand with growth as a human being.

I had the pleasure of working with Tim for several years at IHS Markit bringing new products to market. He is a genuine expert and a pleasure to work with. Tim handles even the toughest clients with ease, and ensures every interaction ends on a positive note.

ABOUT ME

It was a hard lesson.  By the time the analysis was finished, the market had moved on.

We had to ditch our prototype. So when I got another chance, we did something different.

We clarified the story early. We spoke directly to customers. We found where the existing approach was falling short — and built from there.

The result was a new trading and pricing platform that went from zero to $750m in benchmarked volumes.

That experience shaped how I think about communication.

Not as something separate from the business — but as something that sits right at the centre of how it grows.

It’s been my touchstone in a career in editorial judgment, product development and commercial delivery.

In the age of AI, it’s now about deciding what matters, coming to own a message, and helping teams act on it.


PS. That’s Ossian. He’s ace.
