Yet, many companies continue to focus on pristine messages in communicating to the outside world.

Jargon.

Numbers.

Promotion.

Etc.

Audiences tune out such efforts.

On the other hand, science and anecdotal evidence show a storytelling approach to communications resonates with people.

This SlideShare deck at www.IshmaelsCorner.com reminds us storytelling wins over corporate speak (with rare exceptions, such as quarterly earnings). 

Lou Hoffman is CEO of The Hoffman Agency, a global communications consultancy headquartered in Silicon Valley. He blogs on the intersection of storytelling, traditional PR and digital communications at www.IshmaelsCorner.com.
