Brendan Hufford presents five crucial questions to evaluate whether website content is genuinely problem-led or merely playbook-led.

By using creative storytelling that flips conventional narratives, like the example of a pet care ad featuring a dog seeking revenge on its former owner, companies can capture attention and leave a lasting impression.
