Job description
SHAPING NARRATIVE IDENTITIES WITH WRITING
People live out the life stories they're narrating to themselves—for better or worse. TELL ME MORE® helps brands shape those narratives, inspire positive change, and in the process grow our clients' businesses.
The idea that our human experience is encased in our own stories about ourselves is a growing area of psychological research known as "narrative identity," and TELL ME MORE is learning how to apply that and similar research to marketing.
Our toolkit includes design thinking, rapid prototyping, and expert storytelling to create positive change for people, profits for brand owners, and ongoing enjoyable, rewarding work for ourselves.

ABOUT STORYTELLING IN BLOG WRITING
Most articles on the web are dry remixes of other articles written primarily for search engines. For 99% of marketers, humans are just "traffic" for "funnels" for the sole purpose of "monetization."
Not only is that kind of thinking and writing demeaning to the people we serve, we find that it leads to mediocre client results and boring, uninspiring work.
While SEO has its place, great writing enters the narratives people are already telling themselves and nudges them in the direction of the brand. It does this through the structure and limits unique to web pages and the contexts in which people experience them.
Writing this way requires a great deal of intelligence, artistry, science, craftsmanship, and storytelling expertise. Very few people have the raw talent, and even fewer are willing to work hard enough or with enough discipline to pull it off week after week, month after month.
Lastly, writing is a team sport. You have to be willing to work with editors, strategists, clients, and others as a piece comes together. You have to be willing to accept critical feedback and coaching, and get out of your own head, lest you grow stagnant and bland.
