Storytelling framework in action

Who is the brand?

The brand is Hometown Milling, a local oat milling company started by a husband & wife team who seek to open new market opportunities for farmers growing nutritious oats, which can provide benefits to soil & human health.

 

Who is their audience? 

Hometown Milling has two audiences: CPG companies (end users of their product) and farmers.

 

What is their challenge?

Some farmers would like to diversify their crop rotations to help build soil health & better manage pests. The problem is that there are very few outlets for crops outside of the traditional corn and soybean rotation. In addition, there is increasing demand for consumer products which are locally and/or sustainably grown, gluten-free, dairy-free, etc. Oats could fulfil many of these consumer preferences if grown & processed appropriately.

Hometown Milling is working to create new market opportunity (new revenue opportunity) for local farmers by offering processing & marketing for their oat crop. Hometown Milling will create new demand for locally-grown oats by locking in production acres while contracting downstream buyers for end product.

Who is the brand?

Bean & Bloom Café – a cosy neighbourhood coffee shop started by two friends who loved experimenting with coffee flavours.

Who is their audience?

Busy students, remote workers, and locals who want a warm place to relax, work, or connect over a good cup of coffee.

What challenge are they helping their audience to overcome? How are they doing it?

Challenge: People often feel rushed, stressed, and disconnected in their daily routines. Big coffee chains feel impersonal, and people crave a more personal touch.

How Bean & Bloom helps: They create a welcoming space where every customer feels known. They serve ethically sourced coffee, offer unique seasonal blends, and host small events like poetry nights to bring the community together.

What matters most to you when shopping? Affordability, or inclusivity, as in offering a range of options that fit all body types? For quite some time, there was no middle ground. Clothing could've been affordable, but it had limited sizing. You weren't sure you would find your size at the store. Perhaps you saw a style you loved and your perfect size. The price tag? Not so much. Old Navy brought forth the best of both worlds. The brand offers high-quality, fashionable clothing at affordable prices. All items come in a wide range of sizes, ensuring you never feel left out.

The brand I’d like to talk about is Duolingo.

Their audience is language learners around the world.

One of the biggest challenges language learners face is staying motivated, since the process can often feel long and boring. To address this, Duolingo created a character — a mischievous owl who acts as a teammate, coach, and friend — making the learning experience more fun and engaging.

who is the brand ?

= Toothpaste

 

who is their audience ?

What challenge are they helping their audience to overcome? How are they doing it?

As there are many brands which are helping there audience related to issue held in their teeth but toothpaste is the first brand which has the motive to help their audience regarding problem like cavity or  problems related to teeth. So keeping in view according to their audience perspective they started a brand called toothpaste which is basically helpful for those who are in pain. There are many chalenges as i told that many other brand also started creating same thing but the believe that audience have in toothpaste made that brand grow more. For more reach in their brand they started ads on television, social media platforms and they have own there website through which it will be easier for the audience to connect with the brand. So right now toothpaste is the well organised brand and is growing well.
