Better Content Strategy & Better Business Storytelling
Once upon a time...There was an awesome hospital marketing firm in
Minneapolis.
They created tons of valuable content and became known through out the land.

Alas...Being “known for something” was not translating to
new business.
The firm was always passionate in its opinion that healthcare marketing really needed to evolve.
So during lunch, over fish tacos...

Better Content Strategy & Better Business Storytelling
Content on a mission:• Gives people who want what you want a reason to
care about you
• Causes audiences to see you as an agent of
change.
• Provides a frame of reference for people trying to
decide what action to take.
• Shifts the focus off of what’s in for “me” and onto
what’s in it for “us.”

The catch:The mission must be service-based.
No one will want to join you on a mission that is dedicated solely to fattening your company’s bottom line.
(Sorry.)

still bandwidth intensive.

The most important 150 words of any business story:
The headline and the abstract.
It may be all people have bandwidth to read. Give them value and they will share it anyway.
Remember it takes longer to write short than long.
