Something that has always fascinated me is brand storytelling. Many large businesses are straight to the point and matter of fact about their products and services. It makes them feel cold and like a machine, just looking to get in and get out with my money as quickly as possible. On the opposite end, small businesses can be so full of passion and love for every little detail about their business they can overwhelm the customer.
Like anything in life, there’s a balance you need to find when you tell your customers your story. In the end, it doesn’t matter what you say - it just matters how you are perceived. You need to take the time to know the rules of branding, storytelling, making on impact. You need to know it so well, you can forget about them. When that happens you’re able to tap into your creative side, and be able to break them accordingly with how you see fit to help serve your brand. The rules and analytics are all their as a guide, but if you follow them all directly you’re just going to end up looking like everyone else.
To dive further into this, I brought on a master puzzle maker in the world of business: Ulli Appelbaum. Ulli has vast expertise in marketing and brand strategy. His international experience in coming up with fresh perspectives to position a brand, product or company as well as in innovation has helped companies, large and small, go from zero to success, without breaking the bank.
Ulli’s unique way of approaching business problems and helping businesses strategize has developed into a technique he calls Positioning-Roulette. Ulli’s system of flashcards helps executives and teams overcome their mental barriers and see their company in a different light, uncovering fresh and actionable insights that trigger action, identify innovative ideas to stimulate brand growth and inspire fresh perspectives on businesses and categories.

My book, LINGO: Discover Your Ideal Customer's Secret Language and Make Your Business Irresistible is now available!
Highlights - When developing a strategy, you have to put on your pants then your shoes. Analyze data by looking at it from different angles and perspectives. Know the rules so well you can let them go. That’s when creativity can come out. Create a feedback loop in your business. Large companies usually focus too much on their product. Entrepreneurs tend to be so passionate they give their consumer too much information. Pricing creates perception. Be aware of what’s unfolding before you.Guest Contact -
