Marketing Strategy

15 Creative Frameworks Every Marketer Should Know

How to use: Pick a group → follow the beats → end with one action.

A) Create Desire

Desired Outcome — Show the moment people want.
Beats: Show the future moment → show the feeling → show how you make it possible → invite

AIDA (Attention · Interest · Desire · Action) — Move fast from hook to action.
Beats: Start bold → show how it works → show what it gives → ask for one action

Hero’s Journey (micro) — Prove change through one person.
Beats: Introduce the person → show what was at risk → show what they tried → show life now

Tension & Reveal — Flip a familiar scene to reframe the product.
Beats: Start familiar → build the expected story → reveal the twist → ask for one action

B) Prove It

How It Works — Make the process obvious.
Beats: Ask a simple question → show step 1 → show step 2 → show step 3 → give the next step

PAS (Problem · Agitate · Solve) — Turn a problem into proof.
Beats: Name the problem → show the cost → show your fix → ask for one action

FAB (Feature · Advantage · Benefit) — Turn a feature into meaning.
Beats: Show the feature → show why it’s better → show why that matters

One-Take Proof — Confidence in one continuous shot.
Beats: Start at input → move through the process → land on finished result → ask for one action

C) Drive Action

BAB (Before · After · Bridge) — Display the change and the step that makes it happen.
Beats: Show “before” → show “after” → show the step

Buyer Objection — Remove the worry.
Beats: Put the worry on screen → answer plainly → show proof → offer a low-risk try

Social Proof & Scarcity — Make momentum and timing clear.
Beats: Show it’s moving → show who’s in → say why it’s becoming standard → give a real deadline

D) Own the Narrative

Enemy / Failed Solution — Reframe the rules.
Beats: Show the pain with the old way → say why it fails → show your way → ask for one next step

JTBD (Jobs to Be Done) — Align to the viewer’s real job.
Beats: Show the moment they’re in → show the progress they want → show how you fit their routine → show one number

E) Travel on Social

5H (Headlines · Hashtags · Heroes · Habits · Humor) — Tie to what’s happening.
Beats: Name the moment → bring a credible voice → offer a small behavior to try → end with a light wink

Memetic Adaptation — Use a format people already know.
Beats: Start with a familiar format → put your point inside it → start in a niche → scale only what works
