Why Your Company Needs A Strategic Story w/Andy Raskin

Reading Time: < 1 minutes

What’s the most effective way to stand out in a crowded market?

Having the “best” technology? Access to the biggest ad budget? Pulling off some amazing “growth hack?”

Nope.

It’s something deeper than that.

It’s the foundation that underpins classics like Toy Story, The Terminator, and Hamlet.

It’s how people like Elon Musk, Steve Jobs, and Marc Benioff were able to build loyal audiences of customers, employees, and investors.

And it’s the difference between being overlooked and appreciated.

What am I talking about?

Having a compelling narrative. Or as Andy Raskin likes to put it, a “strategic story”.

So what the heck is a strategic story? (And why does every company need one?)
