Episode notes
Package For Universal Desires
- Brands often fail because their videos are packaged so narrowly they can't reach broad audiences.
- Heritage Ring succeeded by tapping a universal desire: legacy, identity, and family pride.
Start With The Core Desire
- Identify the core human desire your product taps into before creating content.
- Translate product function into feelings like status, tradition, or belonging to increase reach.
Expand The Story Surface
- Expand the story surface by asking broad cultural questions that connect your product to many interests.
- Use angles (true crime, old money, aristocracy) to attract varied audiences who care about the underlying desire.
