What is brand journalism?
Cutting through to the audiences you need to reach has never been harder. The noise in social media can be deafening, drowning out conventional marketing messages. This means we need to find a new way to engage the attention of the people we want to address.
Stories are the way humans make sense of the world, and narrative is a potent force. Telling stories that are compelling and deliver fresh insights is a highly effective way of attracting and holding people’s attention.
Brand journalism gives you the opportunity to show you understand the issues facing your audience and share their wider concerns about the world.
Demonstrating your company’s expertise has the twin benefits of building your reputation and offering actionable insights to your audience.
If your content has helped someone understand a difficult topic or enabled them to sound smarter in a meeting with their boss, they will come back again and again. You will be trusted, recommended and your content will be widely shared.
As data protection laws make it harder than ever to build useful prospect lists, brand journalism pulls people naturally towards your business. It’s a world away from the resistance often generated by push marketing. Effective brand journalism is a breakthrough tool in the armoury of any marketer.
