Building a Story-First Brand with David Ebner from Content Workshop
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
In this episode of the B2B Brand180 Podcast, Linda Fanaras sits down with David Ebner, President of Content Workshop and author of Kingmakers, to unpack what effective brand storytelling really looks like in today’s B2B landscape.
David shares why most companies get brand storytelling wrong by leading with their own story instead of their audience’s—and how shifting that perspective can dramatically improve clarity, trust, and conversion. Together, Linda and David break down a simple, four-step framework for building a story-driven brand, rooted in understanding your ideal customer, identifying real pain points, and showing—clearly and concisely—how you make life better for the people you serve.
