5 Steps to Telling Better Stories in Your PR Strategies
The messages that stick, the ones people repeat, forward, and act on, are never written for "employees" or "stakeholders" or "our valued customers." They are written for one person, with one specific frustration, in one specific moment.
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
The Five Step Framework Behind Stories that Actually Get Remembered
Stories and Strategies podcast features IABC UK and Ireland Past President Eduvie Martin on why generic communication fails and what to do instead
TORONTO, ONTARIO.
In a new episode of the Stories and Strategies podcast, Martin, FCIPR and Past President of IABC UK and Ireland, breaks down a five step framework for writing messages that people actually remember, repeat, and act on. The conversation, recorded at the IABC World Conference in Toronto, walks through the same principle behind Dolly Parton's Jolene: the messages that endure are never written for an audience; they're written for one person.
The five steps Martin outlines are:
-
Find the frustration underneath the process or situation
-
Understand your audience beyond demographics, down to their daily patterns
-
Walk the path your audience actually walks
-
Write for one person, not a crowd
-
Break the fourth wall to interrupt the pattern and make the message stick
Martin also shares real examples from internal AI strategy rollouts and employee feedback campaigns, showing how the framework plays out inside organizations facing real resistance and real deadlines.
