Your marketing is forgettable. Here’s why.

The real reason your marketing isn’t converting.

Hey, Patrick here.

Ever see a competitor’s ad and think, “Damn, I wish we’d thought of that?”

Or maybe you have that nagging feeling that your product is amazing, but your marketing message just falls flat.

Here’s why: You’re probably creating dozens of disconnected ads, emails, and landing pages.

Your messaging is all over the place because you don’t have a core story.

You’re treating marketing like a checklist of tactics, not a single, powerful narrative.

It’s time to stop. You, the founder or marketing director, need to define your story.

Once you have it, you can hand it to anyone: your agency, your copywriter, your UGC creators…and get brilliance back every time.

I want you to try something.

Take 15 minutes and write one sentence for each of these five prompts:

Unaware: What’s the big shift happening in the world that your customer doesn’t see yet?
Problem-Aware: How does that shift create a specific, painful problem for them?
Solution-Aware: What’s the new way of solving that problem? (Don’t mention your product yet!)
Product-Aware: How does your product deliver that new solution perfectly?
Most-Aware: What’s the irresistible offer to get them started?

That’s it. That’s your core story. Now go tell it everywhere.

Talk soon,
