You don’t have a marketing problem. You have a clarity problem.
Product names that sound like part numbers. Messaging that starts with features instead of problems. Brands that multiply with every acquisition. It may make sense internally, but to your customers, it doesn’t.
That lack of clarity slows deals. It forces your sales team to explain what your website should already make obvious. And it leaves buyers unsure of what you actually do—or who to trust.
Clear brands don’t just look better. They sell better.
Simplifying your brand doesn’t mean making it vague. It means making it easy to understand, easy to trust, and easy to buy from.
Here’s what that looks like:
- One name, not many. If you’ve acquired businesses, integrate them clearly.
- Streamline what you sell. Make it easier for customers to choose.
- Name products for the buyer, not the engineer.
- Lead with value. Talk about the problems you solve, not just the tech that powers it.
What this means for your business
If your product line is growing, but your story isn’t keeping up, you’re already losing opportunities. Not to competitors—to indecision.
You’ve built something great. But if your market can’t understand it quickly, they’ll move on.
If you’re wondering whether this applies to you, ask your team:
- Can a new customer explain what we do after one visit to our site?
- Are we naming and organising our offers based on what makes sense to us or to our buyers?
- Do we sound different from our competitors—or just as complex?
