<strong>The</strong> <strong>BusinessDay</strong> <strong>CEO</strong>, Dec <strong>2017</strong> | 07<br />

Let me tell brands the secret of how to get my<br />

attention in this age of advertising overload.<br />

· Make truth the cornerstone of everything<br />

you create. Your story should feature real people,<br />

real situations, genuine emotions and facts. As<br />

much as possible, it should show, not tell. It<br />

should explain--in terms people can relate to--<br />

how your company adds value to my life.<br />

· Your story should offer a fresh perspective:<br />

What's interesting about your company? Why is<br />

it important to me?<br />

· Even if your company sells to other<br />

companies, focus on how your products or<br />

services touch the lives of actual people. By the<br />

way, when writing about people, follow this rule:<br />

Be specific enough to be believable and<br />

universal enough to be relevant.<br />
