A simple process to uncover what makes you different and embed it into every part of your go-to-market.
Most categories are full of companies
that sound the same. AI makes this
worse, pumping out “balanced” ideas that check every box but drag everything toward the algorithmic average. We'll uncover a clear view of where everyone blends in.
Get clear on the one problem or
outcome customers actually care
about. What matters is the real pain
they feel or the result that makes
them buy.
Decide what you will not do. That sacrifice is your asymmetric bet and the focus that makes you stand out.
Turn your difference into a simple statement everyone can understand and repeat.
Build the process to use your differentiation across sales, marketing, and content strategy.

Most companies miss plan because their marketing is messy and they never solve differentiation. Even with a good story, they struggle to explain why they are different in a way that drives sales and growth.
Strategic Differentiation was created to solve this. It is bigger than positioning. It is the crucial unlock that helps companies dominate their category by answering the biggest question in business: what makes you different?
This process comes from advising 50+ scaleups and a career as both CMO and CRO. I have studied this problem for years, trying to find a repeatable way to solve it. After testing and refining across dozens of companies, I discovered a process that consistently unlocks the big question and makes differentiation practical in sales, content, and every customer conversation.
Strategic Differentiation is the system to uncover what makes you different and make it practical.
Strategic Narrative explains where the market is going and why your company matters in that story.
Strategic Differentiation forces you to answer a different question: why are you different right now, and how does that show up in sales, marketing, and growth?
I like Strategic Narrative and I love Andy Raskin’s work. But in my work as an Operating Partner, I see companies with strong narratives still missing plan. Even with a good story, they cannot clearly say why they are different in the market today. That gap is what Strategic Differentiation solves.
Many of the UK’s most active investors turn to me for Strategic Differentiation and GTM expertise. At Mercia, one of the UK’s most active VC funds, I work hands-on with portfolio leaders to build systems that hit plan.

Ed is encyclopaedic when it comes to the latest go-to-market strategies for B2B SaaS businesses. For me, he is a go-to reference point on all things marketing. With his broad view and deep experience, Ed is able to distill complex concepts down to actionable insights.
Ed is a pleasure to work with, generous with his time and his network. He has made a real difference to businesses I am involved with. I always learn something new talking to him.

It was great working with Edwin on a recent pre-investment DD project.
Edwin's holistic understanding of the entire commercial function for a B2B SaaS organization made him a compelling fit for this particular project, whereby the quality of his report and recommendations were of high value to us in tailoring post-investment action plans.

We engaged Ed to carry out a full Marketing and Sales due diligence. He not only provided us with a honest and frank review of how we are working, but also some fantastic insights and recommendations that have now been embraced by the team.
