Why All Organizations Are Media Outlets
You are a media outlet. Your business no matter what you produce or serve is a media company. Businesses produce and manage information for distinctly different audiences—prospective customers, existing customers, employees, investors, news organizations, and the world at large.
Deciding what to produce and what not to should be guided by understanding your audience. You have to separate the good work from the mediocre in advance of publication.
Why do you need my help? Every day nearly three million pieces of content are published on WordPress websites alone.

Story Is The Voice Of Strategy
The story of your business services or products is the voice of your business strategy. It propels people toward the final destination of doing business with you.

A value proposition is the brand promise your brand makes to create value and measurable market impact. It is the core of your content reactor, the catalyst for ideas and the essence of messages that harness attention. It tells stories, articulates experiences and poses questions. Most importantly, it prompts action on the path to purchase.
