Whitepaper: Messaging That Works

Messaging and benefits are not interchangeable concepts. At Northbound, we often see brands making the mistake of using benefits as the primary focus of messaging strategies. In our Messaging That Works Whitepaper, we explain three strategies to help you develop more effective messaging.

We also discuss the best practices delivering a single-minded, clear overarching message to customers and how using our "One Orange test" ensures your messaging lands with your audiences.

We explain the difference between benefits, attributes, and purpose, and how to think about them relative to your messaging pillars and how to balance each of these elements.

We also delineate between behavior-based objectives and perception-based objectives and how understanding current customer perceptions and aligning messaging objectives with overarching business goals is crucial.

If you aren’t sure how to determine what your messaging pillars should be, and how they link to your goals, this whitepaper is for you.

What’s a Rich Text element?

The rich text element allows you to create and format headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, images, and video all in one place instead of having to add and format them individually. Just double-click and easily create content.

Static and dynamic content editing

A rich text element can be used with static or dynamic content. For static content, just drop it into any page and begin editing. For dynamic content, add a rich text field to any collection and then connect a rich text element to that field in the settings panel. Voila!

How to customize formatting for each rich text

Headings, paragraphs, blockquotes, figures, images, and figure captions can all be styled after a class is added to the rich text element using the "When inside of" nested selector system.
