A StoryBrand Marketing Agency, Endorsed by StoryBrand Founder Donald Miller
The StoryBrand framework is a specific, proven way to market your business. We are licensed and certified by the organization that built it.
Don’t Take Our Word for It
Donald Miller, author of Building a StoryBrand and CEO of StoryBrand, and J.J. Peterson, Chief of Teaching and Facilitation at StoryBrand, share why clear marketing works and what it actually takes to do it right.
Most Business Websites Have the Same Problem
They make the company the main character. The website talks about how great the business is, how many years they have been around, what awards they have won. Meanwhile the customer is trying to figure out if you can actually help them and whether it is worth their time to call. If they cannot tell right away, most will not stick around to find out.
- Not sure how to talk about what you do in a way that makes people want to call
- Your website gets visitors but the phone stays quiet
- You have tried marketing before, spent the money, and did not see the results
- Competitors seem to be winning business you should have
The gap between the quality of your work and how your marketing represents it is fixable.
“We had seen our sales start to level off and knew we needed to start marketing beyond just referrals. We tried a few things but felt like we were wasting our time and money. After hiring Guide MKTG our lead flow increased and sales went up.”
Robert Freeman, Above Roofing
The StoryBrand Framework Closes That Gap
StoryBrand is built on a simple insight about how people actually make decisions. Every story that holds your attention follows the same structure: a hero faces a problem, finds a guide who gives them a plan, takes action, and ends up better off. When businesses apply this to their marketing, the website stops talking about the company and starts talking to the customer. The message connects. People call.
That is what we do. We take the StoryBrand framework and build it into your website, your messaging, and your marketing strategy so that anyone who finds you immediately understands what you do, why it matters to them, and what to do next.
What It Means to Be a Licensed StoryBrand Guide
There is a certification process for StoryBrand Guides. It is run by the StoryBrand team, it is not easy to get, and there are not many of us. We have been through the training, passed the certification, and have been applying the framework with real clients for years.
When you work with us, you are working with someone who has been trained, tested, and recognized by the people who built the framework. Donald Miller himself has endorsed our work. That is not something every agency that mentions StoryBrand can say.

Who We Work Best With
Mostly small to mid-size business owners in the trades, professional services, and financial industries. People who run good operations but struggle to explain what they do in a way that makes someone want to call.
- Your internal team knows the tools but does not have a clear message to work with
- You have tried marketing before, spent real money, and did not see the return
- The quality of your work is not reflected in how you show up online
- You need more leads and you need them to be consistent
If that sounds familiar, let’s talk.
