I Am Terrific! A Lesson in StoryBranding

Dave Fleet

Note: I don’t run many guest posts here, but I found the piece below really interesting. The following is a guest post by Jim Signorelli. Let me know what you think. If you’ve gotten past the title of this article (and many don’t) you’re obviously intrigued. How could anyone expect to sell anything this way?

Twist Image

You need to wrestle (deeply) with what you are about to see. Since I attended this past year's TED conference , I can't get the dinner conversation I had with Sherry Turkle out of my mind.
