How to Become a Content Marketing Hero by Emulating Apple and Subway

How to Become a Content Marketing Hero by Emulating Apple and Subway | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it

As we saw last time, your startup becomes a hero by making your customers and clients the main hero. And rather than starting with trying to sell our ultimate products or services, we attract and mentor our prospects with content first.

 

If you are going to use the hero model in your biz storytelling, then you are going to want to read this article (I say that because there are other story models available).

 

I really like the examples and videos this author uses to illustrate his points -- they are very powerful. 

 

And I think the chart is brilliant. He also explains the structure for creating a hero story -- and focuses on the hero being your CUSTOMER, not you.

 

That is sometimes hard to get your head wrapped around, which is another reason why I like the examples & videos he chose. You will really experience the difference.

 

So go grab these insights and happy storytelling!

Four Ways Brands Can Build Better Relationships (via story sharing)

Four Ways Brands Can Build Better Relationships (via story sharing) | Public Relations & Social Marketing Insight | Scoop.it
Is your brand focused on transactions or interactions?

 

Why is this article showing up in this collection on biz storytelling?

 

Because the 4 ways brands can build relationships gets done through effective storytelling.

 

I love the 4 points made here in this quick read: branding is about building relationships to generate business, not pushing messages to make sales.

 

As a result, the game is now about human interactions instead of product transactions. What is the most effective way to promote human interaction? Story sharing!

 

This leads to point #4 -- relationships allow for organic discovery -- about your product/service, customer needs/likes/wants, potential innovations, new markets, etc.. The best vehicle for allowing organic discovery is story sharing.

 

Read the rest of the insights here. They make tons of sense. And if you like the ideas but want to know how to implement them -- then bring story sharing (telling your biz stories and listening to the stories of others in return) into your daily work life.

 

This is a game-changer.
