Agencies should tell a story that bridges the brief to the final idea, giving clients a complete understanding. The document also provides models for properly evaluating ideas and ensuring collaborative discussions between agencies and clients.

He emphasizes that content marketing is a long-term process of building relationships and that most successful content took years of iteration before gaining significant reach.

The document discusses how to build a thriving organization by focusing on three key things: focus, learning, and culture. It emphasizes that organizations must decide their purpose and focus, embrace continuous learning from failures through experimentation and testing, and create a culture that supports learning and improvement by driving out fear of failure and rewarding teamwork over individuals. Thriving organizations also play the long game rather than focusing on short-term targets and distractions. The document is aimed at helping middle managers navigate dysfunctional organizations and create environments where people and the organization can thrive.

If you are like many people, even the thought of delivering a speech in front of an audience will get your palms sweating. The fear of public speaking ranks high among the most common phobias, and for good reason: most of us approach the situation with the wrong mindset, which in turn makes us live out our worst fears in a public forum.
As Michael Parker notes in IT’S NOT WHAT YOU SAY: How to Sell Your Message When It Matters Most (A TarcherPerigee paperback; on sale January 2016), our fixation on the content of our words – and not the presentation of ourselves – is what brings us down. Once the Vice-Chairman of London’s Saatchi & Saatchi, and one of the world’s most experienced advertising pitch men, having made more than 1,000 pitches in his successful career, Parker has learned first-hand that an effective presentation, a job interview, or even a speech at a wedding hinges on our ability to portray ourselves as passionate, relatable, and collected. But, if we are focused on what we say, and not how we act, we will fail to persuade our audience.
Applied in the boardroom, at the pulpit, or even in conversation, these tenets will help you present better in any situation.

I happen to love podcasts and it seems like the I’m not alone, 20% of Americans are now listening to podcasts at least once a month, that’s a lot of hours directly attached to your target audience’s brain. According to the Washington Post, there were over 1 billion podcast downloads this past year and monthly podcast listeners have reached 75 million per month. Podcasts allow individual and traditional broadcasters alike to reach younger, and more varied audiences. “People under the age of 30 don’t own radios,” noted WNYC’s CEO and president Laura Walker.
What’s great about podcasts is there are no rules, you can target a niche as specific as you like, the listening habits are so varied and what you determine as ROI is all up to you. If done correctly it’s a forum to consistently share your expertise, build your credibility in a very intimate medium. When you have a direct relationship with your listener you can do really interesting things to build your brand. There’s nothing more intimate than being allowed to whisper in someones ear on a regular basis

This document summarizes several factors that can lead to interpersonal attraction according to social psychology research: physical appearance/beauty, personality, proximity, and similarity. Studies discussed found that people tend to see attractive, beautiful people as more desirable and competent. Additionally, having a warm, kind, or exciting personality is attractive to others. Proximity, or spending time near others, increases comfort levels and likelihood of attraction. Similarity in characteristics and interests between people also reduces conflicts. Reciprocated liking and gaining the approval of someone who was initially unimpressed can be especially rewarding.
