The explosion of AI-enhanced websites offering to solve all growth problems is impressive. 

But most businesses will go down an AI rabbit hole where time and effort searching do not lead to the rewards they expected. 

Why? 

  • AI has yet to determine facts from fiction.
  • AI can produce an enormous amount of content – but some or much of it needs to be corrected and edited to be exciting and to engage with ideal buyers, 
  • Business damage occurs when your content does not pitch your business as a thought leader. 
  • More content is simply spam.

A focus on Apple’s WHY:  This led to lines of buyers out the door at every Apple store with the launch of new products. 

In its strategic narrative, Apple created the enemy – personal computer users as mindless drones, ala big brother.

Apple computers were young, energetic and heroic. It asked potential buyers – which side would you like to be on – drone or heroic?

See how attention and engagement rise when there is change – humans notice a change – the phone rings – something new that captures your attention.

Apple went on to paint a picture depicting Martin Luther King Jr, Muhammad Ali, and Einstein, calling them “the crazy ones, the misfits, the troublemakers.” 

Steve Jobs’s goal was to inspire potential buyers. You, too, can aspire to be like them – it worked.

Jobs ( along with the Chiat Day advertising agency) created the blueprint for faster growth replicated across the world for decades. The best businesses grow faster.
