Narrative ID: Thought leadership

Thought leadership is more than slapping an expert’s name on a blog. But there’s usually not enough direction to do more than that.

The Narrative ID is a granular messaging and positioning framework that helps make each thought leader multidimensional and quality content easier to create.

What’s inside

Uncover your secret

Guiding prompts help you identify what makes each thought leader unique, essential, and worthy of attention.

Consistency and whitespace

Clear audience and messaging sections ensure each thought leader’s content is consistent yet differentiated from others in your program.

Multiple threads to pull

Granular narrative components give marketers a bunch of options to create storylines and tie current events into available expertise.

Know why you’re talking

The framework pulls from best practices in narrative development to capture what makes each thought leader exceptional and how to translate that into content.

Death to platitudes

Probing prompts help you get beneath the surface with each thought leader to uncover the juiciest perspectives on the hottest topics.
