Whether we mean to say these things or not is not the point. In the moment, it’s how other people will interpret it. Interpretation matters: forget what you think your marketing says, what does it really say to those you wish to serve?
514: Will You Make History?
May 9 2019
What is history? The stories we tell in retrospect. We have two choices when it comes to history:
- We can make history: We do this when we write the story that others tell. Every legend is a story told by someone. History makers make history by controlling the narrative and telling a story that spreads.
- We can let history forget us: If we don’t tell a story worth sharing, we don’t make it into the history books. Most companies don’t make the history books for this reason: they tend to be terrible storytellers.
Want to make history? Tell a story that will stand the tests of time. History only remembers the stories worth telling.
Tip: Companies doing good work owe it to their market to make history. We made BuiltForImpact.net to help companies stand out with a message worth sharing.
