If you want to know how to get noticed, this show is for you. I have interviews, tools, tips, everything that an entrepreneur could need in order to help their organization get noticed for free. Thank you for joining me, Jim James, on The Unnoticed Show. Who does the best job of putting their customers first and making the hero's journey? It's schools. I've just been to my daughter's graduation ceremony, and I can tell you that they do a fabulous job of doing what the textbooks say, and that is to make your hero the customer. The hero's journey is a common narrative in theatre, movies, but also it's the best way to generate productive public relations for you and your business. Google does the same thing. The adverts are simply the search box asking you where your search is going to take you. Big brands are putting their customers centre stage in their stories. Let's take a cue from those and let's start to do that with our own businesses. Let's find ways to make our customer at the heart of our story, make them into the heroes, and then the campaign carries itself. Thank you for listening to this episode of The Unnoticed Show.
