450: Primal Storytelling: Marketing for Humans with Anthony Butler

Today’s guest has an incredible background. He served in Baghdad during the invasion of Iraq. And, somehow, he managed to take the corporate world by storm shortly after finishing his time in the service, despite not having previous business experience.

His name is Anthony Butler. Anthony has written a book that just came out in September.

It’s called Primal Storytelling: Marketing for Humans.

Two years into running his own digital agency, Anthony was stunned when a new client left. The work was good, they said, but the results weren’t consistent.

So, he set out to fix it—to design a reliable digital marketing system that would always come out ahead.

The result is a cutting-edge approach that combines evolutionary psychology with age-old story techniques to create high-performing digital content that cuts through the noise.

Whether you’re competing for local foot traffic or global downloads, Primal Storytelling will help you forge authentic connections with your audience, improve your brand performance in social media and SEO, and supercharge your content results.
