REPLAY: Story Farm Marketing with Marty McDonald

The latest trend in marketing is story marking. Telling your story in a way that unique, honest, and in a way that resonates with your target market. But not all stories are created equal. And not all stories should be told by anyone. Because a good story told poorly is in affect a bad story. So what makes a good story? It's a bit like pornography; you know a good story when you hear it. But at it's core good stories take us on a journey. They are easy to follow and resonate with us emotionally. Good stories are often concise and have a clear theme, which also makes the stories shareable. Which is something that benefits you as a brand, if your customers can easily retell your story to their friends. In today's show I am joined by marketer Marty McDonald to talk about story marketing. Marty is Creative Director and Founder of egg in Seattle, a 12-year-old (and the first) communications firm focusing exclusively on sustainable brands.
