Too much marketing is impersonal and "me too".
Make your marketing personal, emotional, and human.
Start saying "I" a lot more. Talk to your prospect directly by saying "You" a lot more too.
It's harder to copy your personality than a slogan. It's easier to connect with a human than generic language.
And while you're at it, stop saying "we're the best". Show them, paint a picture, and lead them to realizing it on their own. Make it obvious but discoverable.
The secret to good marketing isn't fancy slogans or perfect copy. It's about connecting and relating. It's much harder to do that while being inhuman and generic even if it makes for excellent academic prose.

Instead of "we're the best", how about "let's make you the best."
Yep, it kills me how many of my clients instinctively want to stamp "we" on everything, even in a letter from the CEO. I suspect they think it makes them sound bigger and more important, when the reality is that it just makes them sound impersonal.
