Website Strategy
Building a StorySite
How do you make a website that will actually deliver results? Most ad agencies and marketing firms treat websites like an encyclopedia of facts, information, and history that do nothing for the customer. Your customer doesn’t care about how much you’ve sold, how many awards you’ve won, or the life story of your grandpa who started the company. They care about how your product or service will impact their life.
Websites with Soul
At 6th Ave Storytelling, we build ours as funnels designed to take viewers on a journey from curiosity to action. This customer-centric, story-based journey is presenting all the marketing materials we create, designed to grab someone’s attention and inspire them to act.
