RAMMP

The book where the framework began

Marketing failure is rarely a creativity problem. It's a trust problem.

An average conversion rate of 3% means 97% of engagements with your brand fail. Digital Brand Romance shows you where trust breaks in the buying journey, and how to fix it.

The six milestones

Six moments where a customer decides to trust you — or leave.

The ADORE Process™, first set out in Digital Brand Romance, maps the buying journey as six emotional milestones. At each one a customer is deciding whether to keep going. Miss a milestone and trust leaks — long before anyone tells you why they left.

01Marketing

The Arrival

visibility · acquisition · channel mix · SEO + paid + organic

"Are they getting here?"

Most marketing budgets pour into getting the right buyer to your site. If they're not arriving — or arriving wrong — every milestone downstream is starved.

Low scores = visibility leaks. Paid spend producing impressions, not engaged buyers. Channel mix optimised for clicks, not buyers.

Runs on it: marketing strategy, content plan, channel mapping · RAMMP Agent — Strategy add-on (with human oversight)


Real result · NextMinute +170% sign-up journey conversion

02Branding

The First Impression

identity · positioning · value-prop · visual trust

"Do they like what they see?"

In under ten seconds your visitor decides whether you're credible. Visual vibe, value proposition, the immediate sense of “is this for me.” Most sites fail here without knowing.

Low scores = identity leaks. They bounce in seconds because the visual or value-prop fails the first-look test.

Runs on it: messaging cheat sheet, brand story, image-generation kit · RAMMP Agent — Content add-on


Real result · kindSIGHT +547% bookings, zero extra spend

03Website

The First Date

page order · CTA hierarchy · navigation · social proof placement

"Do they want to know more?"

Three minutes deciding whether to invest time. The page order, the CTA hierarchy, where social proof sits — all of it either builds commitment or drains it.

Low scores = structural leaks. Page order broken. CTA hierarchy confused. Navigation costs the visitor more attention than they're willing to spend.

Runs on it: ideal page layout, copywriting, blocker analysis · RAMMP Agent — Website (base; every RAMMP Agent starts here)


Real result · PocketSmith +138% net payers

04Commitment

The Honeymoon

sign-up · friction · risk reversal · lead magnets

"Will they say yes?"

The moment the visitor commits something — an email, a trial, a demo. The exchange has to feel safe and the friction has to disappear.

Low scores = sign-up leaks. Form length wrong. Perceived risk too high. Value-versus-friction mismatch.

Runs on it: lead magnet, sign-up friction reduction, testimonial library · RAMMP Agent — Website base + Content add-on


Real result · Quipcheck +300% sign-ups by stripping one form field

05Onboarding

The Reality

first-win · time-to-value · welcome sequence · activation

"Did you deliver?"

The most overlooked milestone. The customer is at peak interest right after signing up — and the easiest way to lose them is to make the first win too far away.

Low scores = activation leaks. They signed up. They never came back.

Runs on it: first-win design, onboarding email sequence, usability test · RAMMP Agent — Content + Strategy add-ons


Real result · PocketSmith +138% (compounded from the Onboarding fix)

06Pricing

The Moment of Truth

upgrade · pricing clarity · feature adoption · NPS

"Did they pay?"

Has your product become part of the customer's routine? Low return-usage and poor engagement are red flags that perceived value doesn't match the promise.

Low scores = conversion leaks. They activated. The price model is opaque or wrong.

Runs on it: pricing-model clarity, share-worthy value, churn analysis · RAMMP Agent — Governance add-on


Real result · kindSIGHT +547% bookings (downstream of Pricing-milestone clarity)

Read end to end, the six milestones are a single argument: marketing failure is rarely a creativity problem — it's a trust problem, and trust is decided at specific, measurable moments. Digital Brand Romance is where the framework began. RAMMP is where it gets measured.

"A comprehensive, original, concise, practical, and well-crafted guide."
