When diagnosing existing or planned campaigns, analyze the narrative structure: Is there a clear protagonist? Does your messaging lead viewers through a problem and resolution? Campaigns that lack these ingredients often struggle to gain momentum or emotional traction. For landing pages, consider story-driven testimonials or case studies that mirror your viral campaign’s message, reinforcing trust and engagement consistency from click to conversion.
