Hipster Barbie Is Mocking You And Your Instagram Habits

But seriously, can we be her?

[mohoganyblues-deactivated201706]

Unlearning is hard work. It requires one to move out of automatic behaviors and into conscious understanding, where we take control of our own actions and lives…It requires confronting uncomfortable feelings and an attentive vision… It’s a real act of self-love at a deep level.

"Content is dead. Long live storytelling."

An essential distinction, and a fantastic article by John Hamm for adweek.com.

"There is little hesitation in knowing we operate in a cultural and technological world where consumers know everything about a brand, from who owns it to where and how products are manufactured and sold. As a result of this, companies are now evaluated by much more than their products. We are in a world where a brand’s values and the emotions they evoke are narrative material.

This presents marketers with an amazing opportunity, as the most powerful way to persuade someone of your idea is by uniting the idea with an emotion. It’s indisputable that the best way to do that is by telling a compelling story.

But we need to recognize that it demands insight and skill to present an idea that packs enough emotional power." Read the entire article Why Agencies and Brands Need to Embrace True Storytelling.
