Delivering an effective marketing message is more difficult than ever. Anyone with a mobile device has become a social marketer, filling the environment with noise. When communication breaks down, time is wasted, misunderstandings mount and business-building opportunities are lost.

Our team messaging expert Therese Beale of Beale Communication Planning offers Three Clues Your Marketing Messaging is Broken. She suggests three reasons your messages may be falling through the cracks (and the secret sauce to help get you back on track).

WARNING SIGNS:

Too many messages
It's all about us, not about you
Random rambling storytelling

THE QUANDARY:

Disconnected - Unable to answer the questions about who matters most.
Undifferentiated - Not standing out.
Irrelevant - The stories are not worth sharing.

THE FIX:

Audience Focus - Get clear on what they think, feel and know.
Brand Alignment - Leverage your strengths consistently.
Show Evidence - Tell credible stories that resonate (forget the rest).
