Good Word Agency Brand Guidelines

03 Positioning

“If you stand for something, you will always find some people for you and some against you. If you stand for nothing, you will find nobody against you, and nobody for you.”

Bill Bernbach

Introduction

Where we stand and who we’re for. This is the who, what, and why behind our place in the market. It defines our audience, our points of difference, and the promise we’re uniquely built to keep.

What the Position Must Carry

The points of difference every positioning statement has to hold.

Independent

Latitude and focus that profit-centered agencies can’t match.

Senior-led

A-team, always.

Culturally fluent

Cultural and social fluency.

Strategic

Strategic thinkers.

Do-gooders

We like partners with purpose.

Embedded

We work best as an extension of your business.

Courage-led

We’re (also) here to do the best work of our lives.

Positioning Statements

Four candidate statements, numbered for review.

Good Word Agency is an independent, senior-led creative agency for organizations with something worth saying. We combine strategy, storytelling, and cultural relevance to build brands people believe in and work that earns its place in the world.

04

Good Word Agency creates brand systems, campaigns, films, websites, and social content for clients who want more than visibility. We help them find the truth worth amplifying and turn it into work that makes people believe.
