Why Your Product Needs a Narrative

After working on thousands of products, I've seen a clear pattern: features rarely win on their own. Products succeed when a team can answer three questions the same way, every time.

Answer One · Product
What Value does your product create?
Answer Two · Audience
Which customers care most about this Value?
Answer Three · Market
How can we make them believe in this Value?

When those answers don't line up, sales tells one story, marketing tells another, and product drifts. A Product Narrative is what holds them together — and it's exactly what our storytelling workshops help your team uncover, sharpen, and use consistently.

When those answers don't line up, sales tells one story, marketing tells another, and product drifts. A Product Narrative is what holds them together.

What teams say

Heads of Marketing and Product Marketing at Ingrid, Booking.com, Qonto and New Relic

Over 100 workshops delivered across global brands and high-growth scale-ups.

"You were really an extension of the team. The systems you built, the agentic flows, the messaging frameworks, the website review. It was more like a pressure cooker with a lot of results."

Joyce Kremer
Head of Marketing, Ingrid

"We invited Elliott to the Booking.com headquarters to give a workshop on Storytelling to the full Marketing function. His content hits the sweet-spot between inspiration, theory and hands-on tools to implement on your own projects right away."

Leroy Kaandorp
PMM Lead, Booking.com

"Elliott conducted a workshop for my 15+ PMM team at Qonto, helping us understand how to better tell comprehensive stories across product in the B2B space. My team found his work extremely inspiring and are still leveraging this today."

Theresa Gschwandtner
Head of Product Marketing, Qonto

"Elliott's 4 part storytelling workshop was well structured and engaging from beginning to end. He is a dynamic presenter and his recommendations for additional resources were on point. My team is already starting to apply what they have learned to product messaging."

Sarah Leslie
Head of Product Marketing, New Relic

"Elliott introduced our Miro community to the world of storytelling using business cases and real-world examples to explore why storytelling plays such a crucial role in our lives and within our minds. Both sessions were very engaging."

Helena Bradist
Head of Community, Miro

"Elliot has done a phenomenal job of deconstructing storytelling and making it into a science. Every moment of the course had actionable takeaways. I will confidently say it'll exceed your expectations."
