A story can be the most compelling way to get people to engage with marketing.

Here are some lessons I've learned over the years
🧵
Don't just give facts. Tell a story fueled by facts to get your point across.

A narrative provides a long-term sense of direction and opportunity. And to motivate and mobilize people to address that opportunity.
A story becomes an incredible way to build credibility for the narrative.

Facts fade. Stories stick.

A brand is a combination of promise and performance.

A story, at its root, is about transformation.

In a story, we each see a different "how." That's what makes our story different.
