One

My name is Nic von Schneider. For over a decade, I’ve helped companies stop competing on being the best and start dominating as the only option that matters.

I’ve developed the systems behind startup accelerators, advised Fortune 500s, and designed market strategies that blindside competitors before they know the game has changed.

My work lives at the collision point of organizational growth and aggressive marketing strategy. I give high-performing teams the kind of advantage their competitors can’t copy and never see coming.

When You Differentiate, You Create Demand

Most companies don’t lose growth because of their product. They lose opportunities because their customers can’t tell the difference between who has the best one for them.

My strategic positioning changes that. It defines exactly why your offer is the only rational choice — rebuilds your organization around the advantage - and arms your sales team with messaging that turns comparison into conversion.

I work with growth-focused companies who are tired of sounding like everyone else. I'll help you redesign your market narrative, rebuild your sales messaging, and reposition your brand to dominate.

My ANVIL Positioning + Sales Conversion Accelerator is a 90-day, high-impact strategic sprint to rebuild your positioning and install a conversion-first messaging system that makes your brand the only logical choice in your market.

From early-stage disruptors to global category leaders, my framework makes it impossible for competitors to copy you without losing who they are. My approach combines 12+ years of competitive positioning strategy in scaling hundreds of millions in revenue across the U.S., Europe, and Australia.

It’s been battle-tested across industries — from high-growth startups to established brands looking to punch harder, grow faster, and win more deals. If you’re ready to stop pitching features and start owning your market, this is where that shift begins.


"We thought we had a positioning problem. Turns out we had a relevance problem. Nic rewired our entire market strategy in just weeks. Picked up 2x inbound leads and our first enterprise client."

Julia Bennett

CMO, Velocity Freight Ops



"Our brand messaging was polished but not unique. After one workshop, we had a sales messaging approach that no competitor could touch. We’ve since raised pricing 40% with zero drop-off."

Carla Nunez

VP of Marketing, Zenith Medical Systems



“I’ve worked with the big three consultancies. None of them moved the needle like this. Nic found our weak spots, rebuilt the narrative, and gave our product team something they could finally win with.”

Marcus Reid

Chief Strategy Officer, Reclaim Energy Systems


"We were stuck in pitch deck purgatory and everyone telling us to ‘find our niche.’ Nic gave us more than clarity. He gave us momentum. We landed our first major partnership and made our competitors look slow. That’s what this gave us."

Devon Cho

Head of Brand, Artisan Biotech
