Marketing communications are consumed in the blink of an eye - or not. The first job of any piece of content is to get noticed: headlines that resonate with users and their issues rather than boasting about our achievements, images that enhance and amplify the message not just repeat it or provide gratuitous decoration.
Telling a story is always more engaging than listing bullet points and users will come with you when you give them stepping stones rather than requiring them to take giant leaps.
