Does Your Company Need A Brand Story? (‘StoryBrand’ Follow-up)

Tried It: Your Proven Pathway to a Better Copywriting Business

Sarah and Nicole gave some pretty honest feedback about Donald Miller’s Building a StoryBrand book in their previous episode, but that won’t stop them from implementing what they learnt from it. In this episode of the Tried It Podcast, they share their results and announce the next book they’ll analyse for the podcast.

Sarah begins by sharing her revelation that freelance copywriters aren’t the target audience for Miller’s StoryBrand framework and explains who she thinks would benefit from the book. Then she walks you through the three commitments she made based on the framework and how they turned out. You’ll get insights on how to write a one-liner for your business, plus a discussion on the limitations of the StoryBrand framework for website copy.

Nicole gives her thoughts on implementing the StoryBrand framework in the clean tech copy space, letting you in on some of the biggest challenges that clean tech copywriters face.

At the end of the episode, Sarah and Nicole highlight the benefits of joining the Tried It Podcast Membership and reveal the next book they’re reading for the podcast. Subscribe to the TriedIt Podcast to make sure you catch it.
