Peep this. I created it to answer that question CEOs ask me.

What does a strategic narrative do?

It helps companies to:

  • Stand out

  • Avoid feature wars

  • Recruit top talent

  • Make product decisions quicker

Remember this: a narrative helps companies attract the right people and gives staff one story to tell everyone. In the end, a strong narrative has your target market see the world through your eyes.

Want examples? OK. Here ya go.

Here are 3 examples of tangible activities that are affected by a company narrative. My goal was to give real-world examples to CEOs and marketers at B2B companies to learn exactly where a narrative gets heard and woven into.

- How HR describes the company to job candidates is influenced by the narrative

- The PR activity overseen by Marketing teams is influenced by the narrative

- How investors talk about a company they backed is influenced by the narrative

Is this clear to you? Please donโ€™t hesitate to share your questions.

I'll try to get a v2 out later this month. Don't go easy on me!
