Video: Aaron Evans, Founder & CEO of Story Group, on why attention fades but trust lasts.

“Everyone wants attention. The problem is attention doesn't build trust.”

One of the biggest mistakes Aaron sees founders and CEOs make is believing they simply need more exposure. More posts, more ads, more noise. Story Group builds the other thing: trusted influence, in three moves.

  1. Visibility gets you noticed.
  2. Credibility gets you trusted.
  3. Influence gets you chosen.

“We don't chase attention. We build trusted influence, because the companies that people remember are the companies people trust.” Aaron Evans, Founder & CEO
