Brand script

A character

  • What do they want?
  • I want to put out content that resonates with our audience and generates a lot of attention and engagement with our brand, because that’s what success looks like in my role (my KPI is engagement across all our social channels) and executing breakout social media campaigns is what helps me advance my career

Has a Problem

  • Villain
  • The social media are time-consuming, complicated and messy
  • I get frustrated by social platforms... it's getting harder and harder to generate engagement and build a social community without relying on advertising
  • External
  • I want to manage social media better
  • I want to increase sales
  • Internal
  • I want to have more tidy work-day
  • I want to get ahead in my career

That helps them avoid a failure

  • Super messy workflow (no time for creating campaigns, replying to customers and analyzing perfromance), bad performing social media, no sales, unhappy stakeholders
  • The competitors perform very well and are noticeable on social media while I’m lost in creating content, all the metrics, and customers’ comments and messages
  • I don’t have time for creating executive campaigns
  • Customers are not hearing from me and I get bad reviews across social media
  • My teammates and stakeholders are not informed about key results of previous campaigns
  • I’m overwhelmed with too many comments on social media I cannot reply to

That ends in a success


My work day is well-planed. I know what to pay attention to and how to prioritize my work. I have time for everything that is needed to be successful in my role.
