Define Your Brand Narrative Architecture

Purpose, Promise, and Personality

Write a short brand manifesto that states your purpose, a promise only you can keep, and a personality customers feel. Keep it conversational and human. Share your draft manifesto in the comments for feedback.

Audience Archetypes Over Demographics

Move beyond age and income. Name archetypes like The Nest Builder, The Minimalist Voyager, or The Heritage Keeper. Tailor scenes, language, and imagery to their motivations. Ask readers which archetype they most relate to and why.

One-Sentence Story North Star

Craft a guiding sentence: “We transform overlooked corners into daily rituals of calm.” Use it to evaluate posts, captions, and project case studies. Drop your one-sentence story below so we can help sharpen its rhythm.

Translate Materials into Metaphors

Describe marble as a keeper of celebrations, bearing faint traces of morning coffee and candlelit dinners. Invite readers to imagine the patina as a diary. Ask them to share a material in their home that holds a personal memory.

Translate Materials into Metaphors

Narrate how morning light edits clutter and evening light softens edges, guiding mood from action to intimacy. Use golden-hour reels to show transitions. Encourage followers to post a photo of how light changes their favorite room.

Translate Materials into Metaphors

Give textiles personalities: a linen that breathes, a velvet that listens, a wool that anchors. This humanizes choices without jargon. Invite the audience to vote on which ‘character’ belongs in a reading nook reveal.

Before–After–Bridge for Room Reveals

Show the honest ‘before,’ the aspirational ‘after,’ and a ‘bridge’ detailing decisions, constraints, and small wins. Readers love seeing how choices were made. Invite them to ask one question about your bridge step for the next feature.

Hero’s Journey of a Homeowner

Cast the client as hero, the designer as guide, and constraints as trials. Celebrate transformation with a symbolic object. Share an anecdote of a client overcoming decision fatigue, then ask followers how they navigate overwhelm at home.

The Rule of Three in Vignettes

Compose scenes with three narrative beats: anchor, accent, and echo. Explain why each item earns its place. Encourage readers to photograph a vignette at home using the trio method and tag your brand for a feature.

Weave Social Proof into Plot

Use short quotes that sound like real conversations: “We finally have room for quiet breakfasts.” Pair with a candid photo. Ask clients for one line about a changed habit rather than generic praise and share a favorite snippet.

Track dwell time on project pages, completion rates on reels, and saves per caption. These reflect narrative pull better than impressions alone. Share a metric you plan to prioritize this month, and we’ll suggest an experiment.

Measure, Learn, and Iterate Like an Editor

Run two-week sprints where designers, stylists, and copywriters review narrative cohesion. Set one hypothesis per sprint. Invite subscribers to vote on the next hypothesis so they feel invested in your unfolding brand story.
