Telling The Same Story

Everywhere you look you see different businesses telling the same story. It’s much easier to conform than to stand out.

But the things that set you apart — the uncommon and unmistakable — are what customers seek out today. And yet, we apply the same old tactics that only amplify our similarities and commoditize our offering, rather than risk inventing new value and creating a memorable experience that sets us apart.

I wonder if you replaced your logo on your website with your competitor’s would anyone notice or care?

Your job is to make sure they do.
