YOUR STORY IS TOO GOOD TO GET LOST

It’s easy to feel like your message is getting drowned out in a world of hashtags and AI-generated everything. Maybe focusing on authentic, human-written content feels overwhelming, or you’re worried your story isn’t interesting enough to stand out.

At Strategic Marketing Tribe, we get it – and we also know the magic of a real story told by real people.

Here’s how we help:

  • We show you how authentic content creates real connections, building trust and loyalty far better than anything a bot could churn out.

  • We simplify the process of uncovering and telling your story, so it’s easy, effective, and even enjoyable.

  • We prove that your brand’s story is unique – and when it’s told the right way, it’s impossible for the right audience to ignore.

We’ve seen what happens when brands embrace their authenticity, and we’d love to help you do the same. Together, we’ll create a marketing strategy that feels true to who you are, resonates with your audience, and leads to meaningful success.

YOUR QUESTIONS, ANSWERED

We know marketing can feel overwhelming, and you probably have questions. That’s why we’ve put together answers to the things people ask us most.

What makes Strategic Marketing Tribe different from other StoryBrand marketing agencies?

We’re the StoryBrand marketing agency that skips the boring "corporate speak." We blend the power of StoryBrand with strategic marketing solutions to craft content that feels human, genuine, and impossible to ignore.

How can your strategic marketing solutions benefit my business?

Our strategic marketing solutions simplify your message, clarify your brand story, and help you connect with your ideal customers. It’s marketing that makes sense and gets results – no jargon, no gimmicks, just growth.

What is StoryBrand, and why does it matter?

Think of StoryBrand as a cheat sheet for marketing clarity. It helps you explain what you do in a way that makes people stop, listen, and say, “Oh, I get it.” We use it to create marketing that feels human and that your audience will actually enjoy reading.

Do I need to be familiar with StoryBrand to work with you?

Not at all! Whether you’re a StoryBrand superfan (like us!) or have no idea what it is, we’ll walk you through everything. We’re here to make the process simple, clear, and (dare we say) fun.

Why should I invest in human-written content?

Because people can tell the difference (and they're getting a bit tired of reading AI-generated content – aren't you?). Human-written content has personality, authenticity, and heart – all the things that AI just can’t fake. It’s that authenticity that makes your audience want to stick around.

STORY, MEET STRATEGY

Let’s make marketing feel less robotic and more real. Find resources that bring your message – and your business – to life.

Workhuman Tops 2025 Recognition Rankings

Workhuman Tops 2025 Recognition Rankings—How Smarter “Thank‑Yous” Can Cut Turnover and Lift Sales

May 12, 20253 min read

By Vicky Sidler | Published 12 May 2025 at 18:00 GMT

Imagine if every time you said “great job,” it added 50 cents to your profit column instead of disappearing into the air. Workhuman claims it can show that math—and two independent rankings back them up. 

Business Wire reports the company has just been crowned #1 in G2’s Spring 2025 Enterprise Grid for Employee Recognition and named the only “Star Performer” in Everest Group’s Rewards & Recognition Matrix.

G2’s list relies on 1,600 verified customer reviews. Everest Group’s analysts, meanwhile, put 30‑plus platforms under the microscope and singled out Workhuman for three traits: AI‑powered bias checks, real‑time analytics, and an ROI‑based pricing model that essentially dares finance teams to test the value of kindness.

What makes Workhuman different from a digital gold‑star sticker?

The platform includes three standout modules, each aimed at turning warm fuzzies into data you can present at a budget meeting.

1. Inclusion Advisor:

A real‑time language coach that nudges employees to avoid unconscious bias in recognition messages. Over time it rewires culture, one micro‑note at a time.

2. Workhuman iQ:

An analytics dashboard that converts everyday praise into heat‑maps of engagement. Managers see flight‑risk hotspots before they erupt into resignations.

3. The Workhuman Store:

A global marketplace of tailored rewards that employees actually redeem. No more dusty catalogues of branded pens.

Why recognition pays actual dividends:

Research collected by Workhuman shows companies with robust recognition programs report 37% higher retention and 44% greater engagement scores compared to peers who plan employee appreciation week once a year and call it done. Less turnover means lower hiring costs and deeper customer relationships—plenty of reason for even a five‑person shop to get serious about kudos.

How small businesses can start without a Fortune‑500 budget:

As a StoryBrand Certified Guide and a strategic Duct Tape Marketing Consultant—translation: I obsess over clear messaging and practical marketing strategy—I recommend a three‑step pilot you can run in a single quarter:

  1. Calculate your “exit tax.” Pull the last resignation’s cost—job ads, onboarding hours, lost productivity. This number becomes the benchmark to beat.

  2. Run a 30‑day micro‑pilot. Pick one team (say, customer support). Encourage peer‑to‑peer recognition on Slack or Teams with one rule: each shout‑out must name the behavior and the impact. Tally recognitions weekly.

  3. Measure what matters. After a month, compare ticket‑resolution speed and sentiment‑survey scores with the previous period. If metrics rise, you’ve earned the green light to invest in a platform like Workhuman—or to formalize an in‑house system.

This cycle follows the Lean Marketing philosophy of testing small, measuring clearly, and doubling down on what works, while StoryBrand keeps every message crisp so employees understand the why behind each recognition.

Linking recognition to brand story:

Employees are your first market. When staff feel valued, they deliver clearer, warmer experiences to customers. The tone in your internal kudos should match the clarity in your external copy. Otherwise, you ask employees to live one story but sell another—and customers sniff out the mismatch.

Ready to weave recognition into a repeatable system?

The tactical side of praise still needs a framework. My StoryBrand Marketing Mastery Course gives you templates, checklists, and live coaching to align internal recognition with external messaging—so the story employees live is the story customers buy. Join here and start turning “thank‑you” into measurable revenue.
