What Goes Into a Messaging Playbook

A messaging playbook captures the decisions behind your message: how you explain what you do, who it’s for, and why it matters—so marketing, sales, product, and leadership aren’t reinventing the story every time they speak.

The “Placemat” Your Whole Team Can Use

The placemat is the working surface of the Actionable Messaging Playbook™. It distills the playbook into a single, shared reference your team uses to prepare for conversations, leverage in meetings, and stay consistent after decisions are made.

Benefits of an Actionable Messaging Playbook™

Everyone tells the same story

No more rewording, re-explaining, or “my version vs yours.” The playbook gives the team a shared way to talk about the business.

Decisions happen faster

When the message is clear, fewer conversations get stuck in debate. Teams spend less time explaining and more time moving things forward.

Content gets easier to create

Marketing, sales, and leadership stop starting from scratch. The playbook gives guardrails that make writing, pitching, and presenting simpler.

The message holds as you scale
‍
As more people speak for the company, the story stays intact. The playbook keeps things consistent across channels, teams, and time.

When your message isn’t clear, everything slows down.

Decisions stall. Alignment breaks. Resistance builds. Motive3 gives leaders a repeatable way to cut through complexity and communicate with precision - whether your pitching the board, reading strategy, or getting a skeptical team on board.

How the Actionable Messaging Playbook™ Comes to Life

Step 1: Messaging Workshop

The project kicks off with the AMP Messaging Workshop with key stakeholders from your management team. You'll get clear on your ideal target, your competitive advantage, and your positioning in the competitive landscape.

Step 2: Messaging Playbook Development

After the workshop, the Motive3 team goes to work refining your messaging and building your playbook based on the work done in the workshop.

Step 3: Implementation

Finally, the team comes together again for a day of training & implementation. You'll share your playbook with your entire team and build a plan to implement it across your communications channels, focusing on the activities and tasks that produce immediate benefit.

A Training System for Communication

The playbook can be used to train AI on your message, helping keep outputs consistent across formats.
It replaces guesswork with shared direction that both your team and AI can follow
