Rebranding Won't Fix Your Pipeline. Repositioning Will

Rebranding Won't Fix Your Pipeline. Repositioning Will

Author: Dorien Morin-van Dam March 26, 2026 Duration: 32:03

Rebranding feels productive, right? But it rarely fixes what’s broken.

In this episode of Strategy Talks, Dorien Morin-van Dam hosts Beatrice Gutknecht as she breaks down why most companies don’t have a brand problem; they have a positioning problem.

And how that misalignment shows up everywhere: in unclear messaging, content that doesn’t convert, and sales conversations that stall.

You’ll learn how to spot the difference, and what to change, so your brand actually drives pipeline.

If your content isn’t converting or your message keeps changing, this is the conversation you need.

Beatrice Gutknecht is the Founder of Badassery by B, shifting how businesses are seen with ROI (like increasing brand value, AKA business value, and reducing sales and marketing costs) and practical operations-focused brand strategy, and Host of The Art of Branding Podcast.

Beatrice is a firm believer that the classic ‘rebrand’ is BS and a great way to spend a bunch of money while losing market share and trust and restart the growth cycle from scratch. What’s effective? Repositioning and refreshing your brand.

Dorien Morin-van Dam knows what it's like to build a content engine without a massive budget or staff. In Strategy Talks: Content Strategy for Small Teams, she brings that practical, hands-on perspective to every conversation. This isn't about abstract theory; it's a direct line to operators who are in the trenches, sharing the specific, repeatable plays they use to turn thoughtful content into genuine business pipeline. Designed for founders, small teams, agencies, and solo consultants, each half-hour episode is tightly focused. You'll find discussions rooted in one of three critical areas: the fundamentals of content strategy and planning, the nuts and bolts of distribution and SEO, or the practical application of AI for content operations. The goal is always clarity-first, by defining a common problem many face, and then by unpacking a tangible solution. Listening to this podcast feels like having a seasoned strategist in your corner, cutting through the noise to deliver actionable insights you can apply almost immediately. If you're responsible for content but short on resources, these conversations provide the structured thinking and tactical advice to make your efforts more effective and less chaotic.
