Step 1: Craft Your Story
Let's be honest – storytelling might be the most overused word in marketing. Everyone talks about it, but here's what we've learned after years of working with brands: having a great story isn't enough. It's knowing how to tell it in a way that actually makes people care.

Most brands don’t know how to tell their own story. Some go too big, trying to be everything to everyone. Others get lost in the details, focusing on things their audience doesn’t care about. It's like trying to write your own biography – you're too close to see what makes you interesting.

Think about the brands you genuinely love. Chances are, you don’t just love their products—you love what they stand for. Maybe they share your values. Maybe they get your frustrations. Maybe they just feel like they were built by people who actually understand you.
Using our BeConfluential™ framework, we help brands find that sweet spot—where their real story meets what their audience actually cares about. Sometimes it’s buried in their history. Sometimes it’s hiding in plain sight in customer conversations. Sometimes it’s just waiting for someone to connect the dots.
And when you get it right, magic happens. You get people who see themselves in your story. Who share it. Who defend it. Who bring others along. Because at the end of the day, the best stories get told again and again and again.
