During her nearly nine years at Google, Arielle Jackson managed product marketing for Gmail, Docs, Calendar and Voice. She then moved on to Square, where she led go-to-market plans for new hardware products like the Square Stand. At Cover, she put everything she learned to work to help make the product uniquely valuable. Today, she does the same as an advisor to multiple startups.

In this exclusive interview, Jackson shares exercises entrepreneurs can use to nail their product positioning, develop the right assets (including a name that strikes the right chord), and make a stunning first impression on the market — whether they’re launching a new feature or an entire company.

Very interesting interview. I would argue that positioning is important not only for start ups but for all companies. You cannot be everything to everybody. You have to find a niche and position your business to address that.

Yes, it was very useful, down to the practical point.

Cate, I like the positioning formula described in the post, and I will try to apply it on my social media services and my new tea hobby business.
