Category Narrative
Also: Category Story
The story that defines a market category, frames the problem it solves, and positions your company as its leader.
Why it matters
A category narrative sets the terms a whole market thinks in: the problem, the old way, the new way, and why the shift is happening now. Own the narrative and you shape the criteria buyers use and the company they associate with the solution. It is the storytelling layer of category design.
What good looks like
A working category narrative gets repeated by analysts, buyers, and even competitors in your language. If the market keeps framing the problem in someone else's terms, your narrative has not taken hold.
