Want to sell your brand? Get better at storytelling
Facebook’s decision to remove, then reinstate news content from Australian feeds is yet another reminder of the ongoing tension brands face when competing for audience attention, writes Howorth managing director Jacquie Potter.

Newsrooms have shrunk, many publications have disappeared, and most have found it increasingly difficult to remain relevant or profitable.
As communications professionals, this means there are fewer earned media opportunities. We must find other places to tell client stories and new ways to make them meaningful.
