Background

Log my Care, a Series A VC-backed scaleup, has been pioneering digital care management solutions since 2017, well before the UK homecare sector faced mandatory digitization requirements. Their mission is to enhance communication, coordination, and quality of care in homes through a user-friendly and efficient app. Now, as the demand for such technology soars, the market has become crowded with new entrants and legacy providers, all vying to serve the expanding needs of the sector.

With this increasingly competitive landscape, Log my Care sought to cement its position as the essential solution for care providers, going beyond basic claims of usability to emphasise its unique advantages in this evolving market.

Challenges

Log my Care faced specific challenges in positioning itself effectively as the industry’s top choice:

• Breaking Through with Differentiation: As the industry rapidly digitised, the market became saturated with players making similar usability claims. While Log my Care’s platform is notably easy to use, the team needed to communicate what truly sets their software apart from the competition and why it’s the “must-have” solution for their ideal customer profiles (ICP).
  
• Appealing to Diverse Stakeholders: With its product used by both care workers (the hands-on app users) and budget-holding executives (the purchasing decision-makers), Log my Care needed a narrative that would resonate across these distinct personas. Moreover, with multiple segments within the care industry to serve, they needed an overarching story to unite these stakeholders while still addressing each group’s unique needs.

Strategic Solution

To meet these objectives, we implemented our story-led positioning framework, guiding Log my Care through a multi-step process that created clarity, resonance, and alignment.

1. Understanding the Audience: We conducted comprehensive audience research to better understand the nuances of Log my Care’s diverse customer segments. Through customer insights and team discussions, we gained clarity on the specific challenges Log my Care solves and the value it delivers for different users.
   
2. Strategic Narrative Development: With the care industry undergoing a significant transformation, we crafted an overarching narrative that highlighted the urgency for care providers to adapt to the digital shift. This narrative positions Log my Care as a dedicated partner championing care businesses through challenging times and emphasises the company’s commitment to equipping providers with the tools they need to thrive.
   
3. Clear, Compelling Positioning: We worked with the Log my Care team to articulate a distinct value proposition that emphasises their platform’s standout qualities, going beyond surface-level functionality claims. This positioning highlights why Log my Care is uniquely suited to support care providers through change, delivering clear value and differentiation in a crowded market.
   
4. Unified Messaging Framework: Finally, we developed a robust messaging framework to convey Log my Care’s distinct advantages across all channels. This framework addresses the specific problems the platform solves, outlines the technical capabilities that enable its benefits, and articulates the positive outcomes that result for users and their organisations.

Outcomes

After a series of collaborative workshops, we refined Log my Care’s messaging and clarified its competitive edge, achieving several impactful outcomes:

• Strategic Narrative Aligned with Industry Change: Our work established a cohesive story that addresses the major shifts in the care industry, resonating with all segments within the market. This narrative unites stakeholders by demonstrating how Log my Care supports each group’s specific needs while keeping a focus on the broader digital transformation impacting the entire sector.
  
• Enhanced Differentiation through Key Pillars: We identified three key differentiation pillars—customer-centricity, scalability, and ease of use and adoption—that matter most to Log my Care’s target customers. By clearly articulating these differentiators, Log my Care now stands out as a top choice, helping prospects quickly understand why they should choose Log my Care over alternative solutions.
  
• Unified, Impactful Messaging: We crafted a messaging framework that underscores the challenges Log my Care solves, details the technical capabilities that make these solutions possible, and emphasises the positive outcomes for end users and their organisations. This unified messaging is now consistent across all marketing channels, clearly communicating the value of Log my Care’s platform and aligning the entire organisation on a cohesive, compelling message that drives engagement and conversions.
