How to transform dull stories into compelling content

Sick of churning out content nobody reads or watches? Bring life to dull stories. Get employees to contribute. And fire up your video campaigns.

If you’re tired of phoning it in—cranking out the same old stories and video messages—it’s time for a fresh approach.

“If you wouldn’t want to read it, don’t write it,” says Jake Jacobson, director of public relations
at Children’s Mercy Kansas City. “If you feel like you’re writing a boring story, that’s exactly what you’re doing. If it’s an assignment and you must do it, then dig deeper and find that hook.”
