In this session of Rising Tides Live, hosted by Shawn Walchef, the community gathered to unpack the art of corporate content—how to break free from the expected and craft stories that stick. From product launches to purpose-driven brands, the conversation explored how businesses can infuse personality, authenticity, and even a dash of humor into their messaging. The group highlighted the importance of making content that’s engaging, shareable, and true to the brand’s core values. This episode reminded us that great corporate content isn’t about selling; it’s about sparking connection, trust, and maybe even a smile.

• Authenticity Wins – People crave genuine connections and real stories, not overly polished marketing. Whether it’s a spontaneous moment on social media or a heartfelt customer story, authenticity fosters trust and invites engagement in ways that sales-driven content cannot.
• Purpose-Driven Storytelling – Brands that lead with purpose—sharing the “why” behind what they do—create deeper, more meaningful relationships with their audience. Storytelling that goes beyond the product itself can inspire, educate, and build loyalty.
• Engagement Matters – It’s not just about getting likes; true engagement means sparking conversations, sharing stories, and building community. When audiences feel compelled to comment, share, and talk about your content, that’s when real impact happens.
