Client overview

SocialTalent is a leading e-learning platform for recruiters, hiring managers, and candidates, providing comprehensive training for hiring and talent management. 

The brief

SocialTalent needed to refresh their brand and market position. The company was struggling with inconsistent messaging, outdated positioning, and a lack of defined customer personas. This inconsistency was diluting the brand impact of marketing campaigns and revenue.

 As Product Marketing Manager, my brief task was to implement a comprehensive, data-driven repositioning strategy to refresh the brand and clarify their market position.

Planning and delivering the project 

As the project lead, I developed and implemented a comprehensive brand repositioning strategy to address SocialTalent's challenges and define their market presence. The strategy focused on five key areas:

Research & Analysis

Conducted internal interviews and desk research to understand current brand perception and competitive landscape.

Positioning 

Used industry best practices to create a robust positioning framework, including:

  • Collaborating with the CEO on core mission and vision
  • Creating detailed customer value maps
  • Identifying ideal customer profiles and pain points
  • Articulating competitive differentiators.

Messaging & Communication

  • Developed a clear messaging framework, including mission, target buyers, pain points, differentiators, and key messages.
  • Created "messaging cheat sheets" for consistent communication.

Sales Enablement

Delivered workshops to equip the sales team with new messaging tools and techniques.

Brand Refresh & Website Overhaul

Led a website redesign project, incorporating a brand refresh to recapture SocialTalent's "disruptive roots".

Outcomes and results 

The repositioning project yielded significant positive outcomes for SocialTalent. We successfully established a clear and consistent brand message across the organization, which resonated more effectively with their target audience. The revitalized brand image and improved internal alignment enhanced the company's market presence. The sales team, now equipped with new messaging tools and techniques, was better positioned to communicate SocialTalent's value proposition.

This comprehensive approach laid a strong foundation for more effective marketing and sales efforts, ultimately positioning SocialTalent for continued leadership in the recruitment e-learning space. The project addressed the immediate challenges and set the stage for long-term brand consistency and market impact.
