Quick question: book or series first?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Because I just found out The House of the Spirits<\/em>\u2014my all-time favorite book\u2014is becoming a TV series\u2026 and I am emotionally unwell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You know that feeling.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When a story lives perfectly in your head. The characters, the tone, the pace\u2026 all exactly how it should be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And then someone decides to \u201cadapt\u201d it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Which usually means: simplify it, speed it up, and remove everything that made it powerful in the first place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Pain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And it made me think about how we treat content in marketing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n We love shortcuts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Summaries.

Just hoping people will \u201cget it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n They won\u2019t.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Good content needs support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When you share something and add your perspective\u2014even one line\u2014you\u2019re doing what a good adaptation should do:<\/p>\n\n\n\n You\u2019re giving the original more life, not less.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You\u2019re helping people discover it the right way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Because great marketing doesn\u2019t just create content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n It respects it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n And yes\u2026 read the book first.
