The Brand Banshee: When Your Message Screams but No One Hears

She screams so loud your true message is lost

In the dark corridors of Geospatial marketing, survey firms cry out for clients, yet their message vanishes into the mist. This is where the Brand Banshee takes control, screaming your services so loudly that your real value gets lost in the noise.

Why Survey Firms Struggle to Be Heard

Survey businesses often try to reach everyone: developers, architects, government, utilities, you name it! Casting a wide net and hoping someone bites. But when your positioning is blurred, the only thing prospects hear is chaos. 

This noise means:​

  • Losing bids to slicker competitors
  • Getting undercut on price because clients don’t understand your worth
  • Attracting work that’s wrong for your strengths, draining your team’s energy

The Banshee thrives when your brand signals are muddled. Until you clarify who you serve and why your business is unique, she keeps howling and your expertise goes unnoticed.

How to Silence the Brand Banshee

  1. Cast Your Vision Clearly

Ask yourself: What do you really want to do? Set your business vision so everyone in the firm knows the destination – no more haunted hallways.​

  1. Define Your Purpose

Integrate your “why” into everything you do. Purpose is your brand’s ghost-light, guiding clients straight to you.​

  1. Choose Your Ideal Client

Stop shouting to everyone. Identify your best-fit clients and craft a message just for them. Suddenly, the Banshee falls silent and only the right buyers enter your chamber.

Slaying the Banshee

With your message sharpened, clients finally hear you (and the Brand Banshee is banished from the building).

Here’s how you’ll transform your business:​

  • Discover your niche and claim your space in the market
  • Build a brand story that signals “expert” not “generalist”
  • Shift from pricing battles to value-driven projects
