Before & After: How Tactics Transform Your Marketing

See exactly how two powerful tactics can fix common marketing problems and dramatically improve your campaigns:

Tactic: AIDA Sales Framework - Fixing Low-Converting Landing Pages

THE PROBLEM Your SaaS landing page gets traffic but barely converts. You're listing features and hoping visitors figure out why they need your product. BEFORE USING THE TACTIC Headline: "Project Management Software for Teams" Subhead: Features include task tracking, Gantt charts, time tracking... Body: List of 12 features with screenshots CTA: "Start Free Trial" Visitors leave because there's no emotional hook. AFTER USING THE TACTIC The AIDA tactic has 13+ cards. Here's your restructured page: ATTENTION (Pain Point Hook card) "Still losing 10 hours/week to project chaos?" INTEREST (Problem Agitation card) "Your team is drowning in Slack messages, missed deadlines, and endless status meetings." DESIRE (Benefit Transformation card) "Imagine knowing exactly where every project stands in 30 seconds." ACTION (Urgency + CTA card) "Join 10,000 teams who got their time back. Free for 14 days." The tactic's cards taught you to lead with pain, agitate the problem, paint the transformation, then make the ask.

Tactic: Customer Journey Mapping - Fixing Disconnected Campaigns

THE PROBLEM Your marketing feels scattered. You're running ads, sending emails, posting on social - but nothing feels connected. Leads fall through the cracks. BEFORE USING THE TACTIC • Facebook ads → Landing page → Hope they convert • Random email blasts to entire list • Social posts about product features • No idea why people drop off Each campaign exists in isolation. AFTER USING THE TACTIC The tactic maps the complete journey with cards for each stage: AWARENESS STAGE Problem-focused content that educates (they don't know you exist) CONSIDERATION STAGE Comparison content, case studies, differentiation (they're evaluating options) DECISION STAGE ROI calculators, demos, testimonials (they need confidence to buy) RETENTION STAGE Onboarding sequences, success content (keep them using the product) ADVOCACY STAGE Referral programs, review requests (turn them into promoters) Now your ads feed into nurture sequences that match where customers are. The journey mapping tactic showed you exactly what content each stage needs.

Pro Tips: Maximize Your Marketing Workflow

Advanced techniques that top marketing teams use to get the most out of Storyflow.

Connect Research to Execution

Don't let your customer research live in isolation. Create links between persona cards and campaign briefs. When you're writing copy, your audience insights are one click away. This simple connection dramatically improves campaign relevance.

Build a Swipe File That Works

Use Storyflow as your marketing swipe file. Save competitor ads, great email examples, landing page inspiration. Tag by industry, tactic, and format. Unlike Pinterest or bookmarks, you can add notes explaining why each example works.

Template Your Recurring Campaigns

Create templates for campaigns you run repeatedly—product launches, seasonal promotions, webinar series. Duplicate and customize instead of starting from scratch. Your best practices become team standards automatically.

Use AI for First Drafts, Not Final Copy

Storyflow's AI excels at generating structured frameworks and first drafts. Ask for campaign outlines, messaging hierarchies, or content themes. Then refine with your brand knowledge and customer insights. AI + human expertise = best results.

Stakeholder Reviews Without Email Chaos

Share campaign boards with view-only links for stakeholder review. They can comment directly on specific elements without access to edit. Feedback lives in context, not scattered across email threads and Slack channels.

Visual Performance Reviews

After campaigns end, create retrospective boards. Paste screenshots of results, note what worked, and connect learnings to future planning. Build an institutional memory that makes every campaign smarter than the last.

Why Marketing Teams Switch to Storyflow

Real feedback from marketers who consolidated their tools and transformed their workflow.

From Notion + Miro + Sheets

"We had strategy in Notion, brainstorming in Miro, calendars in Sheets, and assets in Drive. Four tabs minimum for any project. Storyflow collapsed everything into one workspace. Campaign planning went from days to hours."

From Asana + Google Docs

"Asana tracks tasks but can't show the big picture. Google Docs has content but no visual structure. Storyflow lets us see campaigns spatially—how pieces connect, what's missing, where we're going. Total game-changer for planning."

From Monday.com

"Monday is great for tracking work but terrible for creative planning. Marketing needs visual thinking. Storyflow gives us the project management we need with the visual canvas marketing actually requires."

From Agency Tools

"We tried Wrike, Teamwork, and Basecamp. All built for project management, not marketing strategy. Storyflow understands that marketing is visual, collaborative, and needs AI that speaks our language."
