Building a successful brand relies upon an organisation’s ability to satisfy their customers wants and needs.
There are many factors that go into a consumers’ decision-making process, and figuring out what those factors are is essential to building your brand.
Modern brands can’t survive by shouting the loudest and relying solely on anachronistic interruption marketing.
They can’t announce to be featuring ‘the best deals!’ every day.
Experts estimate estimate that most Americans are exposed to around 6,000 to 10,000 ads each day.
But out of those thousands of opportunities, a consumer will narrow down their choices to just a few brands. So how do you ensure yours stands out amongst all of the noise?
Marketers often preach the importance of “storytelling”. But it goes further.
Brands that find alignment between their audience’s external and internal problems are those that are most successful at “storytelling”.
They elevate concerns with the external problem, and the seduce the audience by highlighting the internal problem.
