In the digital age, storytelling is not a one-time effort but an ongoing conversation. By infusing modern elements into your brand narrative, you can captivate your audience and keep them engaged with your evolving story.
Emphasize your unique journey. Origin stories resonate, but also focus on specific moments that shaped your journey. Share recent milestones, challenges, and breakthroughs to showcase your ongoing commitment to growth. At Cox, we are proud of our evolution starting in the newspaper business and today, providing multi gig internet and mobile telephone services (Cox Mobile is celebrating its first-year anniversary of service to customers).
