Story Marketing
How It Works

A plan you can count on, and room for what you did not see coming.

A roadmap sets the priorities, a request queue absorbs whatever comes up in between, and one dashboard shows the result.

How Priorities Get Set

The monthly roadmap

Your subscription gives you access to Story Marketing's complete team and capabilities. The monthly roadmap determines which priorities are actively executed at any given time.

That is the honest version of "everything included." You are not buying every department running flat out every month. You are buying a team that puts the effort where it will do the most good, and tells you where that is.

Each month the roadmap weighs

  • Business goals
  • Current opportunities
  • Performance to date
  • Available media budget
  • Website needs
  • Campaign priorities
  • Your team's capacity

Requests

One active request at a time

Submit as many requests as you like in StoryApp™ and rank them yourself. We work the top one to completion, then pull the next. That is why our turnaround estimates mean something.

Turnaround

Requests are reviewed within one business day. Most routine updates are completed within three business days. Larger requests receive an estimated timeline after review.

Never waits in the queue

The queue governs your requests only. Our own program work continues without interruption:

  • Advertising campaigns
  • SEO and AI search
  • Content and social publishing
  • Reporting
  • Strategic website improvements
Requests

How every request is classified

Within one business day you know which bucket a request landed in and why. Nothing disappears.

  • 01 Included routine update Enters the queue and ships on the standard turnaround.
  • 02 Included strategic work Folded into the monthly roadmap alongside the plan.
  • 03 Needs clarification We come back with questions before anyone spends time.
  • 04 Separate project Estimated in hours against a defined scope, and approved before work begins.
  • 05 Not recommended We will tell you why, and what we would do instead.

See your first roadmap before you sign anything.

Give us access to your analytics and we will show you what we would fix first, and what we would leave alone.
