MARKETING STORYBOARD

A marketing storyboard for
the whole campaign.

A marketing storyboard turns the campaign brief into something everyone can see: the ad, the social cutdowns, and the landing narrative as connected boards on one canvas. AI lays out the story, you refine it, stakeholders approve it. Free forever, no credit card.

What is a marketing storyboard?

A marketing storyboard is a frame-by-frame plan of campaign content before it gets produced: the hero ad, the social cutdowns, the landing page narrative, and how a customer moves between them. Where a film board plans one story for one screen, a marketing storyboard plans one story told across several formats, so the 30-second ad, the 6-second cutdown, and the landing page all land the same message.

Most teams skip the storyboard for marketing work because the deck-and-doc version takes too long. Storyflow removes that excuse. Drop the campaign brief on the canvas, or generate one, and the AI lays out the marketing storyboard from it: scenes, structure, and notes arranged as boards on an infinite canvas. The hero ad, each cutdown, and the landing narrative live as connected boards, side by side, instead of scattered across files.

When the campaign storyboard is ready, share a view-only link for stakeholder approval and export an image or PDF for the production brief. The campaign gets argued about on the board, not in the edit.

HOW IT WORKS

Storyboard a marketing campaign in four steps.

From brief to approved campaign visuals without a slide deck in sight.

01

Open a free canvas

Open a free account before the next status meeting. No credit card, no download, and the canvas runs in the browser alongside the rest of your stack.

02

Add the campaign brief

Drop your brief on the canvas as a PDF, paste it into the AI chat, or generate one on the spot. It stays on the board as the source of truth.

03

AI lays out the story

The AI reads the brief and generates the marketing storyboard layout: the hero ad scene by scene, with structure and notes arranged on the canvas.

04

Branch, approve, export

Build the social cutdowns and landing narrative as connected boards, share a view-only link for stakeholder approval, then export an image or PDF.

One marketing storyboard for every campaign asset.

The ad, the cutdowns, and the landing story stay connected on one infinite canvas.

Marketing storyboard for a hero campaign ad

The hero ad, scene by scene

Board the ad first

Lay out the hero spot frame by frame, with messaging and direction notes per scene, so the most expensive asset in the campaign is the most planned one.

Social cutdown boards in a marketing video storyboard

Cutdowns and formats as connected boards

Plan the cutdowns next to the ad

Board the 15-second, 6-second, and vertical cutdowns beside the hero spot, so every format keeps the story instead of becoming a random trim.

BUILT FOR CAMPAIGNS

More than a marketing storyboard template.

Storyflow is an AI-native canvas, so the campaign story and the campaign plan live in one place.

AI laying out a marketing storyboard from a campaign brief

AI that works from your brief

From brief to boards in minutes

Brief in, story out: Paste the campaign brief or drop it in as a PDF, and the AI generates the storyboard layout: scenes, structure, and messaging notes.

Re-prompt the angle: Ask for a testimonial-led version, a product-led version, or a tighter hook. The AI reworks the board with your canvas in context.

200+ frameworks: Problem-solution, before-after, hero's journey for brand work. Pick a framework or let the AI suggest one for the campaign.

Connected campaign boards in a marketing storyboard

Ad, cutdowns, and landing narrative side by side

One story across every format

Connected boards: The hero ad, each social cutdown, and the landing page narrative sit as separate boards on one canvas, in view of each other.

Message consistency: When the hook changes on the ad board, you can see exactly which cutdown and landing frames need to follow.

Landing narrative as a board: Storyboard the post-click story too: the sections of the landing page as frames, so the ad's promise and the page's payoff match.

Stakeholder approval of a campaign storyboard

View-only links and clean exports for approval

Approval before production

Stakeholder review links: Share a view-only link and stakeholders see the whole campaign storyboard in the browser, no account needed.

Feedback where the work is: Walk leadership through the boards in context instead of flattening the campaign into another slide deck.

Export for the record: Export approved boards as high-quality images or PDFs for the production brief, the agency, or the campaign archive.

Reference images around a marketing storyboard

References and competitor work beside the boards

Ground the campaign in references

Grab frames from ads: Capture stills from reference campaigns and competitor ads on YouTube or Vimeo, straight onto the canvas.

Moodboards on the same canvas: Collect tone, art direction, and typography references next to the storyboard instead of in a separate tool.

Drop in anything: Brand assets, past campaign PDFs, GIFs, and links all land on the infinite canvas beside the boards they inform.

WHO IT IS FOR

Who builds marketing storyboards in Storyflow?

Anyone who has to sell the campaign internally before selling anything externally.

Marketing managers

Content teams

Social media managers

Board the vertical cutdowns and platform-native versions next to the hero ad, with hooks and captions noted per frame.

Agencies running campaigns

Present the campaign storyboard on one canvas, share a view-only link for client approval, and export the signed-off boards into production.
