The Difference Between Positioning, Messaging, Branding, Strategic Narrative, Storytelling

Welcome to The Marchitect - the podcast for and about the world's best (product) marketing executives.

Hosted by Rowan Noronha, who is so passionate about product marketing that he founded the Product Marketing Community in 2016, this podcast is all about educating and inspiring at the intersection of leadership and (product) marketing strategy. Just enough practical "how-to" advice, and absolutely no commercial agenda.

On this episode, we'll be discussing positioning and messaging, often misunderstood concepts. If you can master them, they can be the most powerful strategic tools at your disposal. So, if you're a CMO or product marketing leader wondering where to start, we've got the experts for you: April Dunford, Emma Stratton, and Peep Laja.

We cover everything from defining what exactly is positioning and messaging, to sharing examples of great b2b positioning and messaging, and even diving into the process of developing your own. We'll talk about who owns positioning and messaging, and the "rules of engagement" between leadership, product, marketing, sales, customer success, revenue operations, and more.
