# How to create a Core Messaging Doc

## Learn what a core messaging doc is and how to complete it.

**Q: What is a Core Messaging Doc?**

A document that outlines the key, essential messages a company wants to communicate about its brand, product, or service. 

**Why is it important?** 

Our job is to help your clients clarify their message. You as a consultant should be able to explain exactly what your client does in a very simple way. If you can't, go do some more research! 

Marketing is all about **knowing the brand**, **knowing your audience**, **crafting a strategic message** and then **repeating that message** to them over and over again. 

> **TIP:** Anytime a new team member jumps on a client project, have them review the Core Messaging Doc to make sure they are clear on the client. 

**DO IT:** Create a Brand Messaging doc.

👇Use the template "[Client Core Messaging Doc](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1UEhLtj3I-oRZjB_X8CZnPFNpr0-BeZ9pgQXNJfaW_7s/edit?usp=drive_link)" in the Template Gallery👇

\- It is a Google Doc listed under "Basics" - This should already be in your client folder but if it's not, make sure to add it. 

If you need a refresher on how to access the Template Gallery check out the KB Article ["How to Access the Template Gallery"](https://kb.greenhouseuvu.com/how-to-access-the-template-gallery?hsLang=en)

Use the template to create a comprehensive **"Client Brand Messaging Doc" **

- Refer to the **"New Client Questionnaire"** and notes from your **"Core Messaging Meeting"** to complete this task. 
- Change the name of document to say "(CLIENT NAME) Core Messaging Document" an use their branding colors. 
- The document has guidelines for what you should write in each section. 
- The **"Positioning - Strategy"** section is where you will need to get more strategic about what to add and might take some additional research or brainstorming with your team. 

**DO IT:** Once you have finished your Messaging doc, make sure to review it with another member of Greenhouse and with Josh (Content Writer).
