Founders love their origin story. Buyers don’t buy it.
In this co-hosted episode of Makin Mighty: The Challenger Sessions, Simon Greenwood-Haigh and Scott Cramner unpack why brand storytelling so often falls flat in retail and commercial conversations.
We talk about:
- why relevance beats romance when you’re trying to sell
- why your brand is the sidekick, not the hero
- when storytelling does work (and what it needs to do)
- examples where story builds credibility and trust (and where it’s just noise)
If you’re building a challenger brand and leading with your founder story, this is a useful reset.
