#293: One Framework That Strengthens Your Business Storytelling
Your brand’s products or services offer a lot of value to your customers. And you want to share how you can help them through your marketing communications to better your sales efforts and cultivate brand loyalty.
But, your stories are only effective if you can refine your messages down to a singular narrative so you’re not confusing your audiences and customers with a bunch of competing storylines. Simplicity rules!
