Emotional Benefit and Aspiration Messaging Developer

## CONTEXT
People buy products for functional reasons but choose brands for emotional ones. A benefit ladder climbs from features, to functional benefits, to emotional benefits, to the aspirational identity the customer gains. In 2026, when functional parity is common and easily summarized by AI, the emotional and aspirational rungs are often where real differentiation and premium pricing live, provided the emotion is genuine and earned by the product.
