StoryBrand Messaging and Strategy

Use proven methodology to tell your brand story in a way that connects, earns trust, and turns your website and sales funnel into an engine for growth.

 
 
 
 
 

StoryBrand is the fuel you need to win the race for software users.

Relationships fuel growth engines for software marketing, and your platform needs a message for building them. 

The empathetic approach of the StoryBrand Framework earns the trust of potential software users and SaaS subscribers. In doing so, it serves as the high-performance fuel powering you past the competition.

StoryBrand’s proven, structured framework for messaging serves as the foundation for all your marketing content. 

 
 

Why StoryBrand Works

It’s their story, not yours. (But you’re still a crucial part of it!)

 
 

This isn’t you!

This is!

 
 

After all the work to build your software solution, a natural messaging instinct is to lead with all its features and everything you’ve accomplished. However, it’s not what people want to hear at first.

They don’t want to hear your story of accomplishment. They want to listen to theirs!

Potential subscribers and users need to know you understand what they want and what problems they’re trying to overcome. Otherwise, they click elsewhere, and all the investment you’ve made to attract their attention is lost.

StoryBrand is a proven messaging framework.

  1. Places potential software customers in their own hero’s journey,

  2. And positions you as the best possible guide to help them overcome their problems. 

Think briefly about some of the best “hero and guide stories.”

  • Who’s the stronger character: Luke Skywalker (Hero) or Yoda (Guide)

  • Who’s the wisest character: Frodo (Hero) or Gandalf (Guide)?

Playing the role of the guide is a stronger, more authoritative, more easily-trusted position for messaging the value and benefits of your software solution. In this story, you’ve seen the problems your potential customers/heroes are facing. You’ve already figured out how to win the day; all they need to do is follow your guidance.

And by giving them the hero role by focusing on telling their story, you prove genuine care and investment in their success. Check out a few StoryBrand website examples.

This empathetic approach holds people’s attention, earns the trust needed to build relationships, and improves your lead generation and conversion rates.
