To buy or not to buy?
How do people make buying decicions? Knowng your brand exits is not enough, they have t love your brand. Hiw d you get people to like your brand? It’s a confusing time to be a marketer. We are in the post advertising era. People have the technology to shut you off. People trust strangers more than they like an ad. Fake news and fake influencers dilute trust daily. And brand storytelling doesn’t mean complete fiction. Brands can’t lie anymore.
Having your own story and your own brand is the key. However, some do it better than others.
Ads sell. Stories make people feel. When they feel something, they act.
Why do brand stories matter?
Don’t get in the way of what consumers want, be what they want. Tell stories worthy of their time. Good brands tell stories (not ads).
Does your brand have a story?
Does your story matter? (it is authentic; does it move people to act?)
Aristotle and Jeff Bezos’ common beliefs are rooted in truth.
When the anecdotes and the data disagree, the anecdotes are usually right.
When creating content have to trigger an emotional response.
How to uncover the truth?
* StoryFinding – start with a story discovery workshop. Dig into the brand’s DNA to find the distinct truth that most powerfully resonates with people.
See case study : Green Giant.
Solution : Outlined new audiences and improved old ones, created strong story circles.
Result: We gained alignmen on who the Green Giant should really be.
Created a brand mountain using stakeholder knowledge. “We found utimately what made the Green Giant special.”
EMOTION DRIVES PURCHASES
So why don’t we test for emotional impact.
System 1 vs System 2
95% of decision making uses System 1 thinking.
System 1 thinking is quick and intuitive.
System 2 thinking is slow.
When we positioned brands as stories we came away with two astonishing findings.
a narrative approach is 3x more effective than traditional advertising.
he went too fast for the second one :'(
Storyfinding –> The story platform —> Storyscore —>Storymaking
