The secret to great advertising is simply telling your customer a story that’s relatable, useful, actionable and true .
Answering the question – “Why your company over my other options?”
Most ads under perform because they say, “Here’s what we do and here’s how we do it. You should buy it.” Tedious and predictable ads always talk about ‘what and how’, but if you want to engage the imagination, you’ve got to start talking about why.
The goal is not just to sell to people who need what you have; the goal is to sell to people who believe what you believe. The goal is not just to hire people who need a job; it’s to hire people who believe what you believe.
If you hire people just because they can do a job, they’ll work for your money, but if you hire people who believe what you believe, they’ll work for you with blood and sweat and tears.
People don’t buy what you do; they buy why you do it. Telling a story and letting them understand what you believe is the best way to do it.
