It notes that messaging needs to be simple, compelling, specific, differentiated and defensible to connect with audiences. The document also cautions that startups often struggle with messaging because they focus too much on products instead of customers. It then outlines a messaging framework involving discovery, research, brainstorming, developing the message, testing it, and spreading the word.
