"Stop being Switzerland!” This could sound like vague advice but it's so important today. Translated it means that your brand can’t be neutral anymore. There’s so much noise you have to stand out. To help, marketers and serial co-authors Ekaterina Walter and Jessica Gioglio have penned the new book The Laws of Brand Storytelling, which launches this week. Both joined me on the On Brand podcast to discuss. About Ekaterina Walter and Jessica Gioglio Ekaterina Walter is a globally recognized business and marketing innovator, international speaker, and author of the Wall Street Journal bestseller Think Like Zuck and coauthor of The Power of Visual Storytelling.

Ekaterina kicked off the show by reminding us that we need a new definition. “When people hear ‘storytelling’ they assume you mean marketing. Or content. Content was really storytelling 1.0. It’s not just for marketing anymore because your brand is built by what other people say.” Stop being Switzerland. Citing new data from Sprout Social, Jessica encouraged brands to take a stand. “You actually have more to lose by saying nothing. Two thirds want brands to take a public stance on issues they care about.” How do you embrace taking a stand? “You have to align advocacy with authenticity. Everyone has brand style guides for what to do visually. They don’t always have guidelines around values.” Who’s doing this really well? Ekaterina and Jessica pointed us to GE who’s focusing on 50/50 representation of females in STEM roles by 2020. We also discussed Nike and Honeymade with some good reminders on how to launch and execute campaigns like this. What brands have made Ekaterina and Jessica smile recently? Ekaterina told a story about a funny cease and desist from Bud Light while Jessica used Land Rover to reinforce the power of brand storytelling.

David: What can thinking like Mark Zuckerberg do for your digital marketing? Is it essential to be visual in your story telling in using social media and how do you start building meaningful relationships with influencers. Those are just two of the questions that I intend to ask today’s special guest, Ekaterina Walter. Ekaterina, welcome to DMR. Ekaterina: Hello David, great to be here. David: Wonderful to have you here. Well, Ekaterina’s laid strategic and marketing innovation for fortune 500 brands such as Intel and Accenture. She’s also author of the bestseller Think Like Zuck, the five business secrets of Facebook in probably brilliant CEO Mark Zuckerberg and co-author of The Power of Visual Storytelling. Ekaterina, you’ve provided social media advice to a lot of big brands but is social media more challenging for big brands compared with single honor businesses? Ekaterina: Well David, the reality is I think as marketers whether we’re business owners or marketers in a big brand, our key goal should be building relationship capital, right? That is the basis for any success either you talk sales or customer service or brand awareness or even personal relationships. I think the challenges are different. It’s not easy to do so. It’s easy to do social. It’s not easy to be social. That sort of mentality of how to use social media as a tool to drive my ultimate goal which is build relationships and ignite tribes around my brand. If I’m a small business in a small community, that’s how my business thrives, right. It thrives on relationships, people knowing me, people trusting me, people understanding the products that I carry and having personal relationship with me in that community. The same goes for bigger brands is just in a larger scale. Either way you have to spend time and you have to pay attention to your customers, current and potential to your partners to your network. The reality is I think they have different challenges, small business where they usually short on resources and they need to really prioritize and larger brands where they a lot of times have resources but the scale is different, right?

Welcome to episode #341 of Six Pixels Of Separation - The Twist Image Podcast. My first thought, when I heard about the book, Think Like Zuck by Ekaterina Walter, was, "wow, I can't believe Mark Zuckerberg actally let someone inside his domain to study him and write a book about it!" I had a true sense of excitement over this business book. It turns out that Ekaterina Walter not only didn't have that kind of privileged access, but never even interviewed him for the book. Before you skip this episode or think that the book title is misleading, take a deep breath and dive on in. Walter is a social innovator at Intel.
