The Hero's Journey in Marketing

Use the classic story shape so your customer sees themselves as the hero.

The hero's journey is the story shape behind most great films: a call to adventure, a guide, trials, a dark moment, a transformation and a return with a reward.

In marketing, the customer is the hero and you are the guide. Your funnel maps their journey from where they are to who they become.

Do it step by step

  1. Describe the hero's ordinary world and their problem.
  2. Show the call to change.
  3. Position yourself as the guide with a plan.
  4. Show the trials and how your offer helps them through.
  5. Paint the picture of who they become.
