Every person who watches your content is silently asking the same question: “Why should I care?” And if your brand doesn’t answer that clearly and quickly, the message won’t land, no matter how beautiful the visuals are.

In this solo episode, Cole unpacks why this question is the real test of whether content works. Drawing from hundreds of interviews with outdoor marketing leaders, he shares common pitfalls brands fall into, how to avoid them, and why answering why it matters is the creative north star for any campaign.

Whether you're planning a brand film, campaign, or product launch, this episode will challenge how you approach content and give you a framework to make sure your story sticks.
