  <title>Chuck Kent, Branding Magzine &amp;amp; Avenue</title>
  <description>There&amp;amp;rsquo;s nothing more powerful than the truth. This is the principle Chuck Kent, director of brand content for Chicago-based B2B branding firm Avenue and contributing editor for Branding Magazine&amp;amp;rsquo;s Branding Roundtable, has built his career on.&amp;amp;nbsp; &#13;
At the heart of effective marketing and branding is the ability to tell stories &amp;amp;ndash; and what better way to arrive at a company&amp;amp;rsquo;s &amp;amp;ldquo;simple brand truth,&amp;amp;rdquo; as Chuck calls it, than through honest and meaningful discussion?&#13;
In an era where content is king, interviews are one of the most easily utilized tools marketers have to allow great brand stories to tell themselves.&#13;
A copywriter turned creative director at BBDO, now a content strategist and industry journalist, Chuck understands this better than almost anyone. Whether he&amp;amp;rsquo;s crafting compelling content for his clients, which include household names such as Motorola and Wrigley, or facilitating dynamic and informative conversations for the Branding Roundtable, Chuck relies on the tried-and-true technique of asking questions to solicit meaty, meaningful insights.&#13;
    &#13;
Here, Chuck explains why interviews are such a versatile tool for companies to generate practical content &amp;amp;ndash; and perhaps more importantly, gain an understanding of not only their consumers, but ultimately themselves.</description>
