How Nikita's brand strategist is making expert positioning accessible to every SME

For several years, we've been exploring how AI can enrich our expertise. With SpoK PME, we're taking the next step : making brand strategy accessible to SMEs and startups. We chose DigitalKin because their platform is the only one that lets us encode our real methodology into a high-level AI service, not just wrap a chatbot in our brand. Our ambition is simple: help more companies understand what makes them unique and turn that singularity into a competitive edge.

About Nikita

Nikita is a branding and communication agency founded in 1990, specialized in brand transformation. With over 30 years and more than 100 successful brand positionings for leading companies, Nikita has developed a unique methodology to help businesses clarify what makes them different and make that difference count. Behind SpoK PME is Karine Jamroszczyk, Head of Strategic Planning, who has spent 30 years building positioning strategies for major brands. Her methodology - how she listens, questions, reframes, and surfaces the right angle - is encoded at the core of the service.

Opportunity

Every SME founder faces the same question: "Why should a client choose me over a competitor?" The answer requires strategic brand positioning : a discipline that has always been reserved for large companies with large budgets. A traditional positioning project typically costs several thousand euros and takes weeks of workshops with senior strategists. Most SMEs either skip it entirely or settle for surface-level branding indistinguishable from their competitors. The expertise exists. It was just never accessible at this scale.

Solution

SpoK PME is a guided AI conversation built on Nikita's 30-year methodology. Through a structured exchange, it maps your strengths, analyzes your competitors' positioning, profiles your target audiences, reads your cultural context and surfaces your most promising differentiation opportunities. The more specific and singular the elements you share — the ones a competitor could never find or copy — the stronger the result. You walk away with a clear, actionable positioning foundation: a stronger brand, a sharper message, aligned with what your audience actually expects. For companies ready to go further - embed the positioning across teams, activate it in communication - the Nikita team takes over.

Key Use Cases
  • Startup preparing a fundraise or market launch : You need a sharp positioning to convince investors and stand out on day one. SpoK analyzes your competitive landscape, identifies your strongest differentiation levers and delivers a positioning foundation you can immediately use in your pitch deck, website and go-to-market messaging.

  • SME repositioning after a strategic pivot : Your company has evolved — new offer, new market, new ambition but your brand still tells the old story. SpoK maps what has changed, confronts it with your competitive environment and surfaces the positioning that matches who you are now, not who you were.

  • Franchise or multi-site business building a unified brand : Each location has its own identity, but the brand lacks coherence at scale. SpoK identifies the common differentiators across your network and builds a positioning platform that unifies without flattening giving every site a shared story to tell.

  • Professional services firm escaping the "me too" trap : Consulting, legal, accounting, every firm claims expertise, proximity and trust. SpoK digs into what you actually do differently, how your clients experience it, and what your competitors cannot credibly claim. You walk away with a positioning that's yours alone.

Impact

Strategic brand positioning has long been a privilege of large companies with the budget to hire senior strategists for weeks-long engagements. With SpoK PME, Nikita makes 30 years and 100+ brand positionings accessible to any SME : in hours instead of weeks, at a fraction of the cost. This is not generic AI output. It is a real strategic methodology, encoded by the expert who built it, delivered through a conversation designed to surface what makes each company impossible to copy.


The shift goes beyond efficiency. When an SME leader finally sees clearly what sets their company apart not in vague terms but in concrete, defensible positioning. Every decision that follows becomes sharper. Messaging, hiring, partnerships, product development: everything aligns around a single, coherent story. SpoK PME doesn't just democratize brand strategy. It gives companies a strategic foundation they never had access to before.
