Dear brand editor: hazarding a guess, here, but one suspects you just want to be liked. The motivation may tie to your performance goals; visitation and engagement metrics can denote a job well done. Given the stakes, few things will sour your audience—and derail engagement—quicker than a sales pitch masquerading as a "story idea" or an executive "perspective" devoid of original thinking or … a "white paper."
