Great Messaging requires a system
StoryBrand is a filter to hone in on a message.
StoryBrand is great
but by itself…
It doesn’t help you…
Find the right words
Develop relevant content
Create an irresistible offer
StoryBrand does help you clarify your message.
BUT…
A clear message doesn’t help if you don’t know how to use it
After reading Building a StoryBrand (or even Marketing Made Simple), you’re convinced it’s what you need. After all, it just makes sense. However, as a former StoryBrand guide (I was one of the first 20 certified), I can tell you that while words may be free, even the best ones don’t help if you don’t know how to use them in your marketing.

FAQs
How does StoryBrand help?
StoryBrand gives you a simple framework to focus your message on your customer. Unfortunately, it does not help you with the next step in the process which is what do you do with your message.
Will StoryBrand help build a marketing plan?
No. StoryBrand is a framework to help you clarify your message, by itself, it does not help you market your brand.
Are you a certified StoryBrand Guide?
No. While I was one of the first twenty guides certified, after six years, I decided not to renew my certification.
Do you help with create BrandScripts?
No. Since I am no longer a certified guide, I can’t help you create a BrandScript.
Why should I choose you?
Here’s my brief pitch. I was one of the first twenty guides trained. In April 2023, I decided not to renew my certification. Prior to this, I helped over a hundred clients clarify their message using the StoryBrand framework, so I understand exactly what you are struggling with right now.
Clarifying your message is challenging on your own because you’re too close to what you do. Trying to see your business the way your customers do is literally like trying to see the forest for the trees. No matter how hard you try, you’ll struggle to pull the right message from your head.
To get there, you likely need a guide. Someone who can help you find the essence of your message so you can tell your brand’s story everywhere.
