The starting point for everything

The
Discovery.

A journalism-led process that starts with a free conversation, moves into a structured interview, and ends with a Brand Positioning PDF that gives you total clarity on your business — written in your own words.

£149 — including the consultation, interview and full PDF

Not a questionnaire.
An interview.

Most people are too close to what they do to see what makes it genuinely remarkable. You can’t be objective about yourself — and that’s exactly why the Discovery works.

Six years in live radio newsrooms taught me how to listen carefully, ask the questions that matter, and draw out the thing someone almost didn’t say — which is usually the most important thing. That’s what I bring to every interview.

You don’t prepare anything. You just talk. I do the rest — and when it’s ready, you’ll have a Brand Positioning PDF that explains your business more clearly than you’ve ever managed to do yourself.

The heart of it

The Interview

A 45–60 minute journalism-led interview. No prep, no briefs — just turn up and talk. I ask the questions most people never get asked about their business, and listen for the things you don’t realise are significant. Most clients say they’ve never felt so understood.

45–60 minutes Video call or in person No prep needed Recorded with permission

Heard.
Brand Positioning PDF
A polished example of the kind of positioning document a client receives after a journalism-led Discovery Interview with Heard. — using Heard. itself as the case study.
Heard. 01 — Brand Core
Positioning Statement
What Heard. does — clearly

Heard. helps sole traders and small businesses uncover the words that make people understand their value through a journalism-led interview process, so they can communicate with more clarity, build trust faster, and turn reputation into real customers.

What makes it different
A journalism-led process — not a questionnaire or a template. Built from what you actually say.
Who it’s for
Sole traders and small business owners who know they’re good — and struggle to prove it.
Heard. 02 — Brand Voice & Tone
Brand Voice
How Heard. sounds

Warm, direct, editorial and grounded. The voice of someone who has spent years listening carefully and writing precisely — not performing expertise, but demonstrating it quietly.

Warm
Approachable without being casual. Empathetic without being soft.
Direct
No waffle. Says the thing clearly, then stops.
Editorial
Considered and precise. Feels like it’s been thought about.
Grounded
Honest, real, specific. Never vague or corporate.
Key Message
“Most businesses don’t need more noise. They need clarity.”
Heard.
03 — Taglines & Messaging
“You talk. I write. They listen.”
Primary tagline — works across all touchpoints
“Your story, sharply told.”
Secondary — clean and editorial
“Former journalist. Your story, sharply told.”
Credential variant — leads with authority
“Your business is brilliant. Let’s find the words for it.”
Empathetic — ideal for social and ads

What the PDF covers.

Every document is different — because every business is different. But here's the framework every Brand Positioning PDF is built around.

Positioning Statement

One clear, precise statement that explains what you do, who it's for, and why it matters — in language you'd actually use.

What Makes You Different

The thing that separates you from everyone else doing something similar. Not a USP in the corporate sense — something real and specific to you.

Your Ideal Customer

A clear picture of who your business is really for — what they care about, what problems they want solved, and why your service fits their life.

Brand Voice & Tone

How you sound — warm, direct, or authoritative — and how that voice should come through consistently across everything you write or say.

Key Messages

The three to five things you need people to understand about your business. Ready to use on your website, social media, networking, and beyond.

Taglines & Straplines

A set of original, tailored lines built from your own language — options for your website header, Instagram bio, business card, and first impressions.

When I read your assessment I felt quite emotional and proud of my achievements and what I represented. There is no way that I could have presented my work in such a heartfelt way. I am truly grateful.
