Discover the Story Behind Your Brand

In today’s world of short attention spans and endless marketing noise, the brands that stand out are the ones that tell a deeper story. That’s why I’m leading a Brand Storytelling Workshop for the Big Sky Chamber in Montana — a 90-minute experience designed for business owners, creatives, and service providers who want their marketing to feel like connection, not performance.

This interactive session will help you uncover the story your brand is already telling and show you how to share it with clarity, confidence, and authenticity.

What You’ll Learn

Together, we’ll explore four universal brand stories that shape the way people experience your work:

  • Connection & Belonging
  • Self-Expression & Fulfillment
  • Leaving Your Mark on the World
  • Sanctuary & Structure

Each of us naturally leans toward one of these stories in how we create, serve, and connect. In this workshop, you’ll identify which story is strongest in your brand and how your audience resonates with it. When you know that, every part of your brand — your voice, your visuals, your customer experience — starts to fit together with ease.

By the end of the workshop, you’ll walk away with:

  • A clear picture of the story your brand is really telling
  • Practical ideas you can apply right away to your emails, website, and client experience
  • A renewed sense of confidence in how you talk about your work
  • Simple ways to attract more of the people you’re meant to serve

Who This Workshop Is For

This workshop is perfect for:

  • Small business owners ready to refine their message
  • Creatives who want their brand to feel as powerful as their work
  • Service providers who feel scattered or boxed in by their current marketing
  • Anyone who wants to show up with more connection, consistency, and confidence

Workshop Details

  • Date & Time: Friday, October 17, 9:00–10:30 AM
  • Location: Big Sky Medical Center, Big Sky, Montana
  • Facilitator: Amy McGann, brand strategist and founder of Unbridled Form

Pre-Work: Free Brand Storytelling Quiz

Before the workshop, please take the free 5-minute Brand Storytelling Quiz. This short, visual resource will help you uncover the story your brand is already telling and give you prompts to bring into the session.

What Past Attendees Are Saying

“I left with such a high and so inspired… not only did I get a lot for my business, but I started thinking about my husband’s business too. Having more clarification to these stories really helped me to see where our strengths and struggles have been. It opened a whole channel of thought I hadn’t seen before.”
Candice, artist

“Given the insight and clarity I have gained in my branding (including copy, positioning, and design!) from Unbridled Form’s approach to brand stories, the fact that it is free truly blows my mind! This process is visually pleasing, clear, and potent… Amy has created a masterpiece with this approach, leaving my brands and life changed forever (in the best way)!”
Haley, photographer and nutritionist

“It was wonderful to hear how different businesses resonated with the same stories in different ways. This workshop pulled it together for me, like a missing piece. I’m lit up about revisiting parts of my brand that frustrated me before.”
Jesslyn, elopement photographer

“This workshop opened my eyes to how much thought should go into branding. It allowed us to explore how we identify as individuals and how we want our businesses to be known. Amy’s knowledge and passion guide you if you’re unsure, and spark curiosity for what’s possible.”
Victoria N., fitness entrepreneur

A Look Back: Brand Storytelling Workshop at Sky Oro

Something beautiful happened in the room the last time I held one of these workshops.

We sat together as women with very different stories, dreams, and timelines. But there was this shared feeling… a longing to make sense of where we’ve been and name where we’re going.

We listened for what was already there. The stories that are already alive in us and our work. We asked: What’s the story I’m actually living right now? And how do I let my brand reflect that?

I watched people reconnect to their why. I watched them soften into it. I watched them realize they already have what they need. It’s just been waiting to be seen.

This is what I love most about brand work. It’s not about the perfect niche or tagline. It’s about recognizing the deeper story already unfolding.

If you’ve been sitting with a half-formed idea, if something is shifting in your work, if you’re craving more clarity in how you show up… This is where we begin.

How This Storytelling Approach Transforms Brands: Déjà Revél Boudoir

Every once in a while, a project reminds me why storytelling is at the heart of branding. One of those was Déjà Revél Boudoir.

When Kara, the founder, came to me, she already knew who she was as an artist. Her work was undeniable — layered, transformative, deeply human. But her old brand wasn’t holding that depth. It reflected where she used to be, not where she was going.

Together, we explored a story of self expression, a narrative rooted in transformation and revelation. It clicked immediately. Kara realized that her brand wasn’t just about photography, it was about helping women see themselves in ways they never had before.

From that story, everything else unfolded with ease:

  • A new brand identity built around luxe electric green tones and a reflective monogram, symbolizing recognition and self-revelation.
  • A redesigned client experience that felt like being personally guided every step of the way.
  • A Showit website that mirrored her process — intimate, transformative, and unforgettable from the very first click.

Almost immediately, Kara felt the shift: more aligned inquiries, more dream clients, and more confidence in how her business showed up.

Her words say it best:

“I still stand by your work being the best investment I’ve ever done for my business. You took my brand from good to absolutely and undeniably extraordinary. I couldn’t have done it without you.”

This is the power of story. It doesn’t just make your brand look good. It makes your brand feel inevitable, aligned, and alive. Explore the full case study here.
