Creating good messaging is challenging — especially when it comes to B2B tech. Despite marketers’ best efforts, messaging often ends up sounding vague and/or too similar to the competition. Unfortunately, in the B2B tech sector, it’s rare for messaging to capture the voice of the customer.
Messaging should earn you MQLs, not lose them. Evaluate whether your messaging framework could use some fine-tuning with Cascade Insights’ in-depth analysis.
Our Approach To B2B Message Testing
Cascade Insights starts by examining your target buyers’ biggest pain points and motivators.
Our analysts will get to the heart of the matter: why decision makers would care about your solution in the first place and what positioning would speak to their root concerns. We’ll then identify any areas of disconnect between what you’re trying to convey and what buyers actually perceive. You’ll walk away with actionable insights on how to hone your messaging to better persuade your target market.
We design and customize each message testing project to best address your unique business problem. We’ve assisted in everything from early-stage message ideation to full messaging framework analysis- all exclusively for B2B tech.
If you wish, our in-house marketing specialists can help incorporate the findings of the research to craft, refine, or redirect marketing strategy and tactics.

“Testing our brand and messaging elements was essential for us in moving our positioning and communication strategies forward. Cascade was instrumental in getting us to effective, clear-cut directives for what path to take.

— Nicole Merrett, Vice President of Marketing, Transact
“I worked with Cascade as part of a brand evolution project, as Appen was integrating Figure Eight into its solutions offering. Our goal was to update our understanding for the market. We worked with the Cascade team to find the truths we would build into the updated brand through qualitative research, and validated new messaging through quantitative research. At the end of the project, we were able to confidently deliver the updated brand look and feel thanks to the research-backed decisions we had made throughout the process.”
— Titus Capilnean, Dir. of Corporate Marketing, Appen
