In today’s world, an informational overload makes people immune to the multitude of advertisements thrown their way. Cutting through the noise of these advertisements and trying to create your own unique mark as a brand can seem very challenging. Brand Storytelling helps you create a genuine connection with your consumers and helps you stand out from the crowd.
How does it do that exactly you may ask. The human brain is wired to love a good story. We have been raised from childhood to be captivated by interesting, emotional tales. Brand Storytelling leverages this trait, and helps you create stories that appeal to your target audience’s emotions. Every company sells facts and features, but a company that sells stories always stands out. Storytelling takes the audience on a journey that helps them feel attached to your brand, and this loyalty is something that cannot be easily changed.
There is a lot of significance to brand storytelling, such as
- Emotional Connection
When a consumer feels happy, inspired or understood by a narrative that you weave, they are more likely to remember your brand and associate this particular emotion with your brand. For example, Nike’s ‘Just Do It’ uses everyday stories of athletes to inspire normal people into overcoming challenges and pushing themselves to do better.
- Building Trust
Effective brand storytelling makes your brand seem authentic. Sharing your struggles and challenges humanizes your brand to viewers, and they see it at a place they can connect with. They feel like your brand is reliable and trustworthy due to its transparency.
- Standing Out
Brand storytelling allows you to tailor and entire personality for your brand. Featuring quirky characters, or memorable advertisements, you can capture the hearts of viewers and stand out from the crowd.
- Memorable and Shareable
People always remember stories. If your narrative is captivating, it gets stuck in the minds of your audience, even subconsciously. Creating a story that is fun, interesting or emotional can be easy for audience to share with each other as well.
Brand Storytelling is not just about creating a story that is emotional. The story that you tell needs to be more than just that. It needs to resonate with your target demographic. It needs to cater to their needs, wants or aspirations. The story needs to align with the core values of your brand, otherwise it can be viewed as being inauthentic or fake, creating an unwanted negative perception. Show you’re your products can help a customer achieve their goals, and position them as a hero.
