How well are you telling your story?
Put yourself in the seat of someone looking at your website and ask yourself “Do I understand who this is, what they do, and why it matters to me?”
At its very core, what you say about your business is storytelling. You are seeking to communicate who you are, what you do and what value it brings to the audience you serve.
At our Orlando PR agency, we know how to tell stories
Our team possesses three characteristics that enable us to share stories media outlets will find newsworthy.
- We have clear thinking. We boil our storytelling down to easy-to-understand headlines and copy that quickly get to the point
- We have sound editorial instincts. We have been journalists. We know what media and journalists want (and don’t want) and how to approach journalists with a usable story idea.
- We know how to bring a story to life. Everyone’s story is different. We know how to dig out what makes your story original and how to present it in a compelling way.
Storytelling starts with listening
You live your story every business day. But you may find it difficult to tell your story in a way that allows others to quickly recognize the value you can bring to them.
With our clients, we start by listening to the story. Listening is a key first step in researching what we should say and what we can say—which are the next steps in clarifying what we want to say and how to say it.
We encourage you to talk. And, based on what you say, we ask questions. Then we listen carefully to the answers.
We also listen not only to what you say, but what you don’t say—information you may take for granted but that can be a game-changer in how you tell your story.
Stories aren’t just written
There is no formula for telling anyone’s story. And no two stories are alike.
We view storytelling as a three-dimensional art form: words, pictures, and sound.
Some stories are best told in words. Other stories need highly visual accompaniment to make them come to life (photos, charts, illustrations or video). Some stories need sound accompaniment (think video or on-screen sound effects).
Storytelling drives marketing ROI
What we do best is to figure out how to tell your story in a way that affordably helps you sell more products and services or ideas.
We are aware that you only have so much money you can invest in marketing. With that in mind, we work with our clients to establish practical, affordable budgets that allow us to create plans—and stories—that will achieve effective levels of communication.
Once we establish the story we want to tell, we follow up with affordable distribution and placement programs that put your story with media that can use what you are saying and share it with their readers, listeners and viewers.
