Nowadays, people are overwhelmed with choices.
There’s no shortage of products, services, or clever taglines.
Therefore, what makes someone pause, pay attention, and care?

It’s the story!

Stories create meaning.
They humanize brands.
They turn transactions into relationships.

Think about it

We don’t buy Nike because of rubber and fabric, we buy the story of grit and greatness.

We don’t drink Starbucks for the coffee alone, we buy into the story of connection and comfort.

As marketers, we have a choice

– Focus on shouting about features.
– Or focus on sharing why it matters.

Here are 3 storytelling principles I’ve seen make the biggest impact

1. Start with “why”
People don’t connect with what you do, they connect with why you do it. Simon Sinek said it best: “People don’t buy what you do, they buy why you do it.”

2. Make your customer the hero
Your brand isn’t the star of the story, your customer is. Your job is to be the guide who helps them succeed.

3. Evoke emotion
Logic makes people think, but emotion makes them act. Don’t just state facts; share moments that spark empathy, joy, or curiosity.

What’s the story your brand is telling?
And more importantly, does your audience feel it?
