"I know the StoryBrand framework is great, but will it work if I’m an artist?”

In this series, we’re answering the question, “Will it work for me?” Previously on the podcast, we explored each part of the StoryBrand framework, and now we’re showing you how to apply them directly into your specific business or organization. No matter if your business is B2B or B2C, for-profit or non-profit, a big corporation or personal brand - the StoryBrand framework will work for you!

We often hear from artists and businesses who sell art feeling confused how to implement the StoryBrand framework. Well artists, we have some great news for you: StoryBrand WILL work for you! In this episode, J.J. and April walk you through exactly how to shape your marketing so you reach the right people and sell more.

You’ll also hear from StoryBrand Certified Guide Lynn Tickner of Ink and Key.
