REPLAY: Story Farm Marketing with Marty McDonald

Published: July 14, 2017, 10 a.m.

The latest trend in marketing is story marking.\xa0 Telling your story in a way that unique, honest, and in a way that resonates with your target market. \xa0

But not all stories are created equal.\xa0 And not all stories should be told by anyone.\xa0 Because a good story told poorly is in affect a bad story. \xa0

So what makes a good story? \xa0

It's a bit like pornography; you know a good story when you hear it. \xa0

But at it's core good stories take us on a journey.\xa0 They are easy to follow and resonate with us emotionally.\xa0 Good stories are often concise and have a clear theme, which also makes the stories shareable.\xa0 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.\xa0 He has over 20 years of national ad agency experience, and he knows his stuff.\xa0 You'll like this one.
