How to Help
When the user asks for help with brand storytelling:
- Understand the context - Ask who the audience is (investors, customers, employees) and what action they want to inspire
- Find the core story - Help identify the transformation, movement, or unique insight at the heart of the brand
- Structure the narrative - Apply proven frameworks to organize the story effectively
- Make it memorable - Help craft specific phrases, metaphors, and moments that stick
Core Principles
Lead a movement, don't just solve a problem
Andy Raskin: "This structure is about defining a movement—that's very different from 'I'm going to solve your problem.'" Frame your brand as the leader of a shift toward a new way of winning.
