Your Best Brand Story

In this age of strategic storytelling, one thing gets lost in the shuffle:  strategy.  This happens a lot not only in sales conversations and in content marketing, but also in communicating who we are and why we are here.

Let’s fix that now. Here is my dead-on favorite infographic for telling great stories.  Scroll down to the Dan Harmon part and you’ll see it clear as day.  My favorite ahas:

  • Describe your journey. Briefly. Everyone struggles at one point. Everyone makes a change. When your humanity touches the humanity in others, an emotional connection ensues.
  • Focus on your evolution. When we show how we have changed, we create context for our approach. Folks love a behind-the-scenes look at your philosophy. Another great bridge for connection.
  • Every point has a point. Every fact, every incident, every detail in your brand story should point in the same direction. Mr. Harmon has eight categories. We can have one: build a bridge between our background and our current mission. Everything else is white noise.
