Guidance for applying storytelling principles to B2B marketing copy, presentations, positioning, and internal communications — trigger when a user needs help structuring narratives, writing compelling copy, or building story-driven marketing assets.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Storytelling for B2B Marketing

## Overview
This skill covers how to apply storytelling principles across B2B marketing contexts: copy, presentations, positioning narratives, sales decks, and internal communications. All practices are sourced exclusively from Exit Five podcast guests across 6 episodes. No general marketing knowledge has been added — gaps in coverage are intentional.

## Core Story Frameworks

### The Story-Problem-Solution-CTA Framework
When structuring marketing copy — emails, landing pages, presentations — use this four-part sequence:
1. **Tell a story** to hook the reader emotionally
2. **Present the problem or conflict**

Humans operate in stories and need clear examples to understand abstract concepts. Apply this framework across all copy formats.

### The Five Immutable Laws of Storytelling
Use these five laws as a checklist when reviewing any marketing copy. Violating any one of them breaks the story:

1. **No conflict, no story** — Every story requires unresolved tension

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add the-nam-shub/e5-real-skills/storytelling@sha256:1f80be4462c5d413

The line at the top of this page pins the label v2026-04-20, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
