In short, brand journalists bring a reporter’s sensibility to your content—an editorial approach to building a brand.

Key Takeaways

Your content should show, not tell. It should show your product as it exists in the world—in the form of customer stories, outside perspectives, examples and narratives, and good old-fashioned reporting.

Timing is key here because it’s important to catch a news story just as it’s developing, not as it’s dying.

Summary

Content should focus less on the company and more on the customer.

If you read and understand the excellent practical and easy implementable material in this book, it will surely transform your writing and business alike.

What are you waiting? Go and buy and transform your writing for good forever.
