010. A New Way to Look at Your Brand: Crafting a Story Your Customers Care About
Instructor: Steve Yastrow
Sunday, March 14, 2021, 1:00 – 4:30 p.m.
Why are most marketing messages ignored? Because companies communicate information that isn’t important to customers, in formats that don’t connect with customers. In this course, Steve will describe how your customers think in stories, not in bullet points. And the stories your customers care about most are stories about themselves, not about you. Steve will teach you that “your brand is not what you say you are, it’s what your customers think you are,” and describe ways to craft customer-centered brand stories that will motivate customers to want to do business with you – and not with your competition.
