Every business has a unique story to tell – do you know your why?
What do you do? What services do you offer? Why do you do what you do?
Unlocking your ‘why’ is a hugely important first step to take to reach new customers and grow your business. Sharing your purpose with customers is essential to both winning new business and earning yourself a loyal client base.
All businesses, new and established, need to share their ‘why’ to stand out from the crowd and be relevant. Communicating your purpose using a range of channels means that your important message won’t be missed by anyone.
Are you taking every opportunity to reach your audience with your business story?
Social media is where the tide of conversation begins for so many businesses, and where your purpose can be shared with target audiences in a truly personal way.
In our experience, it’s the brands that communicate their purpose and ‘why’ with an open, honest and authentic voice that receive the most positive cut-through with their social and digital channels.
Whether it’s through your website, podcast or YouTube channel, social accounts, webinars, or a mix of all of these. Creatively sharing your ‘why’ should lie at the heart of your company’s communications strategy, both now and in the future.
There’s never been more demand for purpose-driven business news stories than there is right now.
Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, social impact and purpose became big news. And companies that took steps to help others and give back to communities received plenty of column inches during truly unprecedented times.
The Wiltshire Digital Drive CIC initiative was delivered in partnership between Naturally Social, Priority IT and Turner and Partners. It has achieved plenty of local, regional and national media and awards recognition since it launched in 2020. Why? For two reasons.
Firstly, it’s brought businesses together with a collective mission of social purpose to deliver real impact. And secondly, because it’s so relevant right now. The ‘Digital Divide’ has been a hot news topic with many at risk of being left behind in an increasingly online world. The ‘why’ behind Wiltshire Digital Drive – bridging the digital divide. It’s easy to grasp and presents plenty of media possibilities and purposeful PR opportunities.
Content marketing can be a game-changer when it comes to bringing others on a journey with your business, as long as the content is relevant and strategic. At a time when so many businesses are competing for the attention of audiences, always think. Compelling, not clutter!
Businesses have a range of content marketing opportunities to choose from today to communicate their ‘why’, and it’s far from a one-size-fits-all approach.
