BRAND STRATEGY VIA THE VALUE PROPOSITION CANVAS
Client: SNS Bank
Project: Manifest
Intention: The goal is simple: to uncover the truth about what makes your brand valuable and align it with your customers’ needs. The Value Proposition Canvas helps you see your brand through fresh eyes, creating a strategy that’s clear, authentic, and ready to win.
In short:
- Honesty is the best strategy: You can’t create a winning brand without being brutally honest about what works, what doesn’t, and what your customers actually need.
- Ask the hard questions: Getting clarity requires digging deeper than surface-level answers. That’s where the breakthroughs happen.
- Alignment equals impact: When your value proposition matches your customers’ desires, your brand becomes irresistible.
- A tool for growth: The Value Proposition Canvas isn’t just for strategy, it’s a game-changer for product development, marketing, and customer experience.
Why it’s time to get naked
Let’s get real: the only way to create a brand strategy that works is to strip away all the fluff, assumptions, and overused buzzwords. That’s what I mean by “getting naked” with your brand, it’s about being honest, vulnerable, and open to seeing things differently.
When you’re running a business, it’s easy to get stuck in your own perspective. You know your product inside out, but that deep connection can blur your view of what really matters to your customers. That’s where I come in. With tools like the Value Proposition Canvas, I ask the tough questions, dig deeper than the surface answers, and help you uncover the clarity you didn’t even know you needed.
Why is honesty so important?
Because without it, your strategy becomes a guessing game. And let’s be honest (pun intended): your customers can smell inauthenticity from a mile away. If your value proposition doesn’t speak directly to their needs, pains, and desires, they’ll move, so fast!
The Value Proposition Canvas lets us zoom in on two critical areas:
-
- Your customers reality: What do they truly need? What’s frustrating them? What are they really hoping to achieve?
- Your offering: How does your product or service address those needs in a way that no one else can?
The magic happens when these two align seamlessly. That’s when your brand stops being “just another option” and starts being the only solution customers want.
What’s in It for you?
When we use the Value Proposition Canvas, we’re not just creating a fancy strategy document, we’re building the foundation for real, measurable impact. Here’s what you can expect:
-
- Crystal-clear messaging: No more guessing what to say or how to say it. Your value proposition will be sharp, concise, and impossible to ignore.
- Better decision-making: From product development to marketing campaigns, you’ll have a North Star guiding every move.
- Deeper customer connection: You’ll understand your audience on a whole new level, creating loyalty that competitors can’t touch.
- Authentic alignment: Your brand’s purpose, products, and promises will all work together, creating a seamless experience for everyone who interacts with you.
How I use the Value Proposition Canvas
Working with me means we’ll dig deep. I’ll ask questions that might feel uncomfortable at first, things you might not have considered or might even want to avoid. Why? Because that’s where the gold is.
The canvas helps us:
-
- Map out customer needs: What are their jobs, pains, and gains?
- Match your offerings: How do your products and services create value, solve problems, or make life easier?
- Uncover blind spots: What are you missing or overlooking in how you communicate and deliver value?
- Bridge the gap: Align your brand with what your customers truly care about, not just what you think they do.
It’s not about tearing your brand apart. It’s about building something even stronger, grounded in truth and relevance.
