The best way to position the user versus the product in brand messaging is through role selection: choose whether the user is the hero with the product as mentor, or if a customer character is the hero. This prevents hero confusion and keeps the protagonist clear.

Yes, you can use storytelling arcs for user onboarding flows by applying a before-and-after structure. Mapping onboarding steps to arc beats like the call, trials, and reward turns standard instructions into a persuasive journey that improves recall and user engagement.
