🤓 Have the tech that can help consumers, but can’t explain its value to buyers?

😵‍💫 Is your messaging all over the place or overwhelming your audience with jargon?

😶 Do you feel like you look and sound just like everyone else?

You might be tempted to work with a marketing agency to help.

But you’d be making a mistake.

If you are a founder, technical leader, or a product team, you’ve probably experienced the following:

❌ You feel like your message is getting “dumbed down” or losing technical credibility.

❌ Brand discovery wastes time on your "Hogwarts house" or "favorite colors" and not market fit.

❌ The new website isn't converting or producing valuable conversations.

❌ Every month starts with the "what should our content be?" meeting.

The challenge isn’t your fault (or theirs, honestly), you may just be in need of a little “message therapy” to nail your core messaging BEFORE you kick off that next marketing project or campaign.

Luckily, I’ve made it easy to discover, document, and build a system around your unique market messaging and align your whole team around it for execution.

It’s called the “MessageDeck Method.”

With the “MessageDeck Method” your team will:

✅ Get immediate feedback about what's working and what's not.

✅ Discover your unique Big Idea and Stories that set you apart in your market.

✅ Quickly pull the best marketing elements from your whole team (yes, even the nerds).

✅ Execute marketing that gets noticed, gets remembered, and gets results.

Hi, I'm Joel and I'm a nerd that talks good. 🤓

The MessageDeck Method was developed based on my 25-year career in theater, education, video games, IT (yes, I used to actually “do the things”), communications, and marketing.

I’ve been on both creative and technical sides and I discovered that the real reason technical communications fail is companies often skip messaging foundations.

The MessageDeck is a way to strip away your team’s egos and inhibitions and collect the best ideas in your organization, then construct a messaging system (not just another “brand PDF”) that your in-house and partner teams can use every day to stay in alignment with what’s working.
