The StoryBrand framework is all about clarity. But will using the StoryBrand framework make you sound boring? In today’s episode, J.J. and April tackle this question with the help of Jessie Congleton, StoryBrand Certified Guide and professional copywriter and marketing strategist. As a copywriter who has crafted messaging for multiple brands, Jessie provides expert advice on how to create authentic, personality-packed copy without sacrificing clarity.   First, Jessie recommends writing with clarity first and infusing personality later. According to Jessie, the best way to build a clear message is by using the StoryBrand BrandScript. Once you have your core messaging nailed down, Jessie suggests bringing in your personality in these key areas on your website: 1) In the section where you explain the philosophical problem you solve and the why behind your brand 2) In the section where you lay out the plan for your customers to buy your product. Listen in to learn how you can infuse personality into these key areas and help your brand stand out in the market!   Contact StoryBrand Certified Guide Jessie Congleton directly at MarketingMadeSimple.com/JessieCongleton.   Businesses Jessie referenced in this episode: CornerPostMeats.com KikiAndLuluco.com BougieDawg.co   --   PRE-ORDER DONALD MILLER'S NEW BOOK HOW TO GROW YOUR SMALL BUSINESS AND GET A PROVEN 6-STEP PLAN FOR GROWTH: GrowYourSmallBusiness.com   START CLARIFYING YOUR MARKETING NOW AND CREATE YOUR FREE BRANDSCRIPT: MyStoryBrand.com   WORRIED THERE'S SOMETHING WRONG WITH YOUR MARKETING?
