Why is Storytelling Important?
Storytelling Brings Brands and Social Innovation Ideas to Life!
Storytelling is critical especially when you are telling a story about people. Stories are part of who we are. They should describe how your company came about, the reason it exists and where you want to go in the future.
One example of brand storytelling that helps support a company’s product is Warby Parker’s “How Warby Parker Glasses Are Made.” The video follows a pair of glasses from the beginning stages of design to the final stage of production.
Stories Help People Connect with You Emotionally!
- ‘Storytelling allows your audience to get to know you and the ‘social good’ you are doing, by putting a real face, voice and person to the story’
- ‘Storytelling allows you to connect with people on how something feels in comparison to others. Therefore connecting people through human feeling and emotion’
- ‘Storytelling is a great way for two completely different people to be able to relate to each other for the first time on the same level’.
