The Fortune Cookie Principle

Bernadette Jiwa

In a competitive market, offering a great product like a shaving subscription service isn’t enough; success depends on crafting a compelling brand story that resonates personally with customers. This narrative, much like the fortune inside a cookie, gives your product meaning and emotional connection. Aligning with values your audience cares about is crucial, as seen with Patagonia’s sustainability-driven campaigns, which strengthened customer loyalty by embodying shared principles. However, authenticity is non-negotiable—betraying your values erodes trust and alienates customers, as illustrated by the decline of a beloved coffee shop that abandoned its community-focused charm for profit-driven changes. Every aspect of your business, from location to content, must reinforce your brand’s identity, ensuring consistency and clarity. Beyond profit, defining a clear purpose is essential for guiding decisions and maintaining your business’s core identity. A strong vision, like Airbnb’s evolution from a conference accommodation platform to a global travel community, can adapt over time while remaining rooted in a broader mission.

“The job of every single business on the planet is to do just one thing—to make people happy. When you find ways to do that, you win.”

“What if, instead of spending all that time and money on deciding how to tell customers who we are, we spent more time and money on being who they want us to be?”

“Being a great storyteller is about learning how to build connection and trust with your audience.”
