Continuing Threats – Beyond Supervillains
While superheroes in comic books seem to spend most of their time fighting supervillains, it is often the inside looks in the hero’s private life that make fans connect to them. Sometimes the hero’s friends turn against the hero, their pride causes problems, or their fears are used against them. These same problems are true in business branding as well.

Looking Behind the Curtain

Every Superhero has a personal life. The costume is one side. Their secret identity is another. Part of the appeal to comic books is that we get a glimpse at the ordinary life of the hero. Part of the appeal of most TV dramas is that we see the characters beyond just their careers. We see their personal struggles. We IDENTIFY with those struggles. We connect to the characters to the point that when those characters die or suffer loss, we mourn. RIP Glenn (Walking Dead), RIP Lance (Bones), fill in your own most traumatic character death… You have a life outside of your business. (Hard to believe sometimes, but you do.) Giving people a glimpse into your life, helps them connect. Sharing your favorite hot drink, tv series to binge watch, or just your Monday traffic frustration shows your humanity and gives others a reason to share an emotional response with you.

Employee Disengagement

At several points in a superhero’s career, the friends and family of their secret identity either hate or distrust the superhero. Peter Parker’s Aunt May often expressed a distrust of Spider Man. Maybe your employees are showing distrust or disengagement toward your business. Five out of ten common causes of disengagement are due to manager/employee relations (1) . If you are having problems in this area, find out the root causes. If you can repair those relations, share how you fixed the issue. This shows you care about how your employees feel about you and it may help someone else.

Hubris

Superheroes often face problems with their own pride. Tony Stark, Reed Richards, and even Spider Man have all faced problems caused by their own pride or hubris. The entire story arc of  Ultron’s creation is awarning of hubris.

We have all probably heard the quote, “Pride goeth before a fall…” The problem is this is a misquote. It comes from a Bible verse, Proverbs 16:18 which says, “Pride goeth before destruction,” That is a bit more severe. When the leadership, from CEO on down to the manager, grows too proud or arrogant to listen to employees or customer feedback that business is headed for disaster. Either the business will grow stagnant (Disney Animation pre-Pixar), will ignore market changes (passenger railroads), or will fall to scandal (Enron.) Just like a superhero needs to be confronted with their own fallibility, a business needs to be able to see and recognize flaws and errors. We all need to fail. Make mistakes. Fall. To err truly is human. Which brings us to our next point.

Risk Aversion

In many businesses there is a fear of failure. While no one wants their businesses to fail, that does not mean that we cannot make mistakes or have minor failures along the way. Remember this scene?

Since we all fail sometimes, we need to accept that mistakes happen. We need to make our businesses so that they are not “mistake proof” but rather “problem solving.” By empowering employees to fix mistakes and solve problems you can develop your own sidekicks.

Superhero No More?

Different platforms serve different purposes. Be where your audience is by talking to them on the channels they use most often.

Burnt out trying to manage your social media marke Burnt out trying to manage your social media marketing? Information overload is an unfortunate side-effect when delving into social media (whether your browsing or crafting content). There are enough new tweets created in a single day to fill a 10-million page book. 

So, how does your business create content that is relevant to your audience? 

First, know your audience. Talk to them on the platforms they prefer. 

Second, create new content. What information can you share that your audience wants to know? 

Third, curate content. When sharing relevant content, offer a meaningful insight with your own summary. 

Lastly, focus on quality content. Use your allotted time for marketing to create the best content you can. More isn’t better.

The true value of social media is in connecting with consumers by treating social as more than a channel for promotion.

Of all the communication channels available to them, consumers point to social media as providing brands the greatest opportunity to truly connect with their audiences.

Be where your audience is and engage with them to create conversations and start experiences.

Any visual aid should augment your presentation not require explanation. 

Content that is difficult to process is more likely to lose a viewers attention.
