Storytelling framework in action

Regardless of the story you’re trying to tell and how you’re trying to tell it, storytelling has three essential elements:

  • Characters
  • Conflict
  • Resolution

Choose one of your favorite brands, and tell their business's story by answering the below questions.

  • Who is the brand?
  • Who is their audience?
  • What challenge are they helping their audience to overcome? How are they doing it?

*To learn more about this, check out The Power of Storytelling lesson via HubSpot Academy.

La Roche-Posay:

On their website, there's a section called: Our Commitments, in which they state their mission. It reads:

LIFE-CHANGING SKINCARE RECOMMENDED BY DERMATOLOGISTS

At La Roche-Posay, we know that a skin problem can impact people’s life in so many ways. So, when we make different for their skin, it can change their whole life. And when we made a different for the 2 billion people facing skin issues, it makes a difference in the world.
And it all starts with opening the door for one person, one skin problem, one life at a time.
https://www.laroche-posay.com.au/our-commitments.html 

 

So this is my analysis:

  • They use first person POV: they create authority positioning themselves as the life-changing skincare brand (That's the character, the hero of the story)
  • Audience: People with problems in their skin. From newborns to cancer patients. All skin types, all people
  • Conflict: skin problems affect people’s lives in so many ways
  • Resolution: They understand the impact of the conflict. For that reason, they join forces with the medical community to bring the most advanced dematological knowledge to their products. With their authentic care, they open their doors to one person, one skin problem and life at a time.
  • How are they doing? They are actually doing pretty well because consumers can actually select from a wide range of skincare products that suit their specific needs. And each buyer trusts that they are buying high-quality products!
  • I would like to highligh that although this is a good storytelling, they have grammar issues on their statement LOL

Brand: In Creation (Your Story)

Audience: Every individual

We want to solve the problem of emotional imbalance because every person has a story and to listen, which eventually helps the mental stress backing out depression and mental health issues.

 

And the approach is to listen them only and respond at a point.

Let me introduce you to EquiFlow - an equestrian company that dissolves barriers between a horse and its rider. 

Horsemanship is an art in which a human and a horse engage in a respectful dialogue consisting of words and sentences told in body language. To a distant observer, this conversation might come across as invisible and silent, but it seems these two understand each other perfectly and move in a flow as one.

What a beautiful fairytale. Many riders might believe in it but don't know how to bring it to life.

The Academy of EquiFlow helps all owners of so-called problem horses earn the respect of their companions and establish the deep connection with them. They do it by offering offline and online courses for riders around the world.
