StoryBrand is a proven framework for effective communication.
What is StoryBrand?
StoryBrand is a marketing framework developed by New York Times best-selling author Donald Miller that helps businesses clarify their message and create compelling narratives to attract and engage customers.
The StoryBrand approach mirrors the classic structure in films. In classic films, there's typically a hero (the main character) and a guide (a mentor, like Yoda in Star Wars or Gandalf in The Lord of the Rings). The guide helps the hero navigate challenges and reach their goal.
By emulating Hollywood’s storytelling structure, StoryBrand effectively taps into a narrative framework that audiences are intuitively familiar with, applying timeless storytelling techniques to create clear, emotionally engaging marketing.
“What we often call marketing is really just clutter and confusion sprayed all over our websites, emails, and commercials.”
— Donald Miller
