Key Takeaway:

Messaging is a strategic element of marketing, which can be elevated to the level of art. To create effective messaging, businesses should understand the essence of their product, service, or their brand and what makes them different from others in their industry. It should focus on the customer, not the company, and should show how the customer will be transformed and helped by the product or service through storytelling that connects with them.
