From Story Brand Agency

Crusader™

Turn your team into marketers.
Transform your business into a brand.

Built and guided by real strategists — not just a prompt box.

Led by a profit-producing, award-winning marketer — Cannes Lion winner, Effie Award winner, campaigns studied in advertising classrooms at VCU Brandcenter, the University of Texas, and Miami Ad School — with a 25-year track record, we review your brand, build your brand story, and train your business’ personalized AI tool to create the content and materials you need to better market your business.

The Process

Real brand strategy first. Then the AI takes it from there.

Crusader is a first-of-its-kind human/AI hybrid technology. It isn't a generic AI writer — it starts with the same process behind every brand Story has built. After all, running a business is a crusade. If you’re in it, you’re already a Crusader. This is the tool built for that fight.

01

Business Questionnaire

You fill out a short questionnaire covering your business, audience, and voice — the raw material every good brand story starts with.

02

Brand Build

Crafted by a real strategist, and upon your approval, is used to train your business’ personal AI.

03

Your Trained AI Portal

Log in any time to get assets, answers, and more, specifically tailored to your business’ identity and industry.

From the first questionnaire answer to a fully trained brand AI — here’s what the process actually looks like.

Case Studies

Real results, from a real 25-year, award‑winning track record.

Increased the revenue of a local HVAC service provider by $725,000 in 12 months.

Increased a brand’s product sales by 125%, year over year, with an increase in sales of over $700,000.

Grew a brand by 15% in an industry that was down 8%.

Developed an email promotion for a financial brand that led to $40.5 million in additional revenue, year over year, with users spending over 3x more than usual.

Using my brand storytelling process, launched a product that was featured by major publications and hailed as “a concept more impeccably designed and themed than anything I’ve seen in recent memory.” The product drove 61% of the brand’s website views, grew their email database by 72%, and exposed consumers to the rest of the brand’s portfolio.

Using my brand storytelling process, took a fragmented alt-payment tool into a seamless, multi-billion-dollar consumer credit ecosystem spanning several linked products.

Built the brand story and launched a new service from 3 cities into 300+ cities across the US, Canada, and UK.

Volunteered for a local church for their main fundraising event and increased attendance and revenue by 65% and 57%, respectively, year over year.

Rebuilt the brand story of a local school, and utilized tactics to grow their enrollment by 45% in a six-week period.

What You Get

A brand assistant that actually knows your brand.

Every plan gets the full toolkit below — plans differ only in how many credits you get each month. Pick based on how much you'll generate, not which tools you need.

Copy & Research

On-brand copy & brainstorming

Headlines, captions, emails, and post copy generated in your brand's actual voice — plus unlimited research and a conversational brainstorming partner whenever you need to talk an idea out.

Try it for: an estimate follow-up email, a job-completion text to a customer, turning today's appointment notes into a review request, or brainstorming ways to bring past customers back.

Visuals & Social

Visuals & social posts

Original on-brand images and guided social posts sized for the platform. Bring your own photos or generate them — either way, we design around them.

Try it for: a before/after job photo turned into a social post, a seasonal promo graphic, an Instagram announcement.

Web, Print & Decks

Websites, print pieces, decks & sell sheets

A starter website — code plus a plain-English publishing walkthrough — print-ready flyers and sell sheets, and real PowerPoint presentations, all built in your pick of five consistent designs so everything you generate looks like it came from one brand.

Try it for: a starter website for a new service line, a flyer for a neighborhood mailer, a case-study deck for a prospective client, a sell sheet to leave behind at an estimate.

Every Plan

A human in the loop

Your Brand Playbook is written by a real Story strategist, not an onboarding quiz. That's what keeps the AI's output actually usable.

No setup fee, no upfront Brand Build charge — your subscription starts your Brand Build right away. Starter and Growth include 1 customer segment; Pro includes up to 2 at no extra charge. Need 3 or more? Contact us about Enterprise.
Credit examples above are a rough guide, not a promise — a generation can take a regenerate or two to get exactly right, so the number of finished, ready-to-use pieces you end up with can run a bit lower than the count above. Social posts, flyers, and print ads let you discard a miss and get that credit back; other tools (presentations included) don't, so it's worth budgeting a little room there. You can always add more credits if you need them.

FAQ

Common questions

What's the difference between Starter, Growth, and Pro?

Every plan can generate everything Crusader offers — posts, images, websites, print pieces, presentations, all of it. Plans differ only in price and how many AI credits you get each month: Starter ($99/mo) gets 60 credits/month; Growth ($199/mo) gets 150 credits/month; Pro ($399/mo) gets 450 credits/month. See the comparison table above for the full breakdown.

What's the difference between "Ask" and the other tools?

Ask doesn't cost credits — it's for research: competitors, market, or audience questions, answered with real web search grounded in your Brand Build. The guided tools (social posts, proposals, and the rest) produce a finished deliverable and use credits.

What are credits, and what happens if I run out?

Every generated deliverable (a post, an image, a proposal, a web section) uses credits from your plan's monthly allotment. They reset every billing cycle and don't roll over. If you run out before your reset date, you can buy a top-up pack — those never expire. Ask/research doesn't use credits at all.

What can I upload, and how does it get used?

Once you're set up, upload your logo and real photos of your team, shop, or job sites from your dashboard. Your logo is then used automatically in guided social posts and anywhere else it fits — you don't have to attach it each time.

Can I add teammates?

Every plan includes 1 seat. Need more? The account owner can invite teammates from the dashboard — extra seats are $59/mo each, prorated onto your next invoice. Everyone on the account shares the same monthly credit pool, and each seat you add puts 30 more credits into it, so a growing team doesn't run dry any faster.

What is a customer segment, and how do I add one?

A customer segment is a genuinely different type of customer your business serves with its own messaging — e.g. commercial clients vs. residential ones. Starter and Growth include 1 segment; Pro includes up to 2 at no extra charge. Use the "Add a customer segment" card on your Brand Build tab to request one — if you're within your plan's limit we'll follow up directly, and if you need more we'll point you to an upgrade or a custom Enterprise plan.

My business changed, or I forgot something — can I update my Brand Build later?

Once you're live, there's a "Something change?" box right on your dashboard's Brand Build tab. But once a Brand Build is approved, it's locked in as the finished result of a considered strategy process — not something edited in small pieces. We'll either take care of small stuff directly, or let you know it needs a new Brand Build or an additional customer segment. Email for potential pricing.

Can I edit my Brand Core myself?

No — it's the strategic foundation every generation pulls from, written and maintained by a Story strategist so it stays consistent across everything the AI makes for you. Once approved, changing it means a new Brand Build rather than a self-edit — use the "Something change?" box on the Brand Build tab to start that. Email for potential pricing.

Can I get my Brand Build as something I can share or print?

Yes — once you're set up, you can download it as a PowerPoint straight from your dashboard. It includes your Brand Core, Audience Strategy, and a few resource links on running targeted social ads.

Is there a limit on how many posts or images I can create?

No hard cap — it's governed by your monthly credits, not a count. Most accounts create quite a bit before running low; if you find yourself running out regularly, a top-up pack or a plan upgrade are both options.

What if I sign up and it's not a fit?

Your card is charged the day you sign up — there's no separate trial billing later. If it's not for you, cancel within 7 days for a full, no-questions-asked refund, right from your dashboard.

How many credits do I get during my first 7 days?

Your first 15 credits are on us, no strings attached, while you try Crusader out. Stay past your 7-day guarantee and we'll refill your account with a full month's worth of credits — and you keep any of the original 15 you haven't used yet.

Something's not working, or I'm stuck — who do I ask?

Once you're set up, try asking your AI Workspace first — it can answer most "how do I…" questions directly. Still stuck, or something looks broken? Contact us and we'll help.
