Messaging

Dictionary & Glossary of Nouns

Brand Guidelines and Messaging Guidelines may be owned by PMM, owned by another team, or a collaborative endeavor. We prefer the last one at Coda, but however you establish ownership for core messages and messaging frameworks, it’s helpful to have a unified reference for your core product value prop, value props for unique features, and a glossary of nouns or terms that you use uniquely as a reflection of your band and culture.

🎯 Make sure you know the difference between

Good & Great Messaging⁠

These can be used for everything from guiding thinking for outreach campaign messaging pillars to boilerplate for press releases to just helping the company explain what ya’ll do to your parents!
