Build Your Marketing Machine in 5 Weeks
You're not bad at marketing. You just don't have a system yet.
Story at Scale is a 5-week in-person marketing sprint for small business owners and solo-preneurs ready to stop winging their marketing and build a complete system that actually works. Led by two expert facilitators, you'll spend 2 hours a week building real, usable assets and leave with a fully operational marketing engine you can run solo.
This isn't a class. This is a build.
WHAT YOU WALK AWAY WITH
Tangible deliverables, built week by week, that would cost $3,000+ if outsourced individually:
Week 1 - Origin Story + Customer Clarity. Deliverable: Brand origin story, 60-second pitch, ideal customer snapshot
Week 2 - Strategy First: Content, Platforms, Budget. Deliverable: Marketing strategy statement, channel plan, content direction
Week 3 - AI Messaging Lab with Claude. Deliverable: Prompt framework, custom prompt pack, core marketing scripts
Week 4 - Visibility on a Budget with Freepik. Deliverable: 3-5 branded promo assets, simple design workflow, visibility plan
Week 5 - Launch Lab + Customer Acquisition Plan. Deliverable: CTA, funnel map, 30-day growth roadmap, final playbook
Plus: Templates, AI Prompt Packs, and swipe files every week.
